Treatment is suitable for most people. However, prior to treatment, a free consultation is mandatory during which a medical history and assessment of the desired treatment area is carried out. This will then allow the practitioner to determine suitability for treatment, how many sessions required and the expected results.

There are three primary categories of hyperpigmentation: melasma, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), and age spots. Melasma is a type of pigmentation triggered by hormonal fluctuations, commonly observed in pregnant individuals or those using birth control medications. PIH develops following skin inflammation or trauma, such as acne flare-ups or cuts. Age spots, also referred to as sunspots or liver spots, result from extended exposure to the sun's ultraviolet (UV) rays.

It is advised to refrain from heat and physical activity in the coming days. The treated area should be kept free from friction for several weeks following the procedure. Avoid scrubbing or exfoliating the area. If you observe any darkened skin peeling or shedding in the treated area, there is no cause for concern—it indicates the removal of the old affected skin.

Right after the procedure, you may experience redness and swelling for 24-48 hours, which will quickly subside. Some individuals might notice temporary darkening of the skin around the treated area, but this usually fades within a few weeks, revealing lighter skin.
