Pigmentation Treatment

Dedicated laser protocols for pigmentation and melasma

Personalised, 3-8 sessions 2-3 weeks apart

For stubborn dark spots left behind by cumulative sun exposure, pregnancy (melasma), ageing or past breakouts, our clinic uses personalised pigmentation protocols. Treatment is a combination of fractional lasers, Q-Switched technology, enzymatic peels and pigmentation mesotherapy, planned according to how deep the pigmentation lies. Before treatment, a digital pigmentation analysis is carried out with a Wood's lamp. During the healing process the spots first darken briefly, then flake away, and the skin tone evens out.

The Methods We Use

Thulium (Baby Face) laser

Opens micro channels without damaging the upper layer of the skin, allowing brightening actives to reach the deeper layers.

Q-Switched Nd:YAG laser

Targets the deep, darkly pigmented layer directly without affecting the surface of the skin, and breaks up the pigment.

Cosmelan (enzymatic) peel

Considered the gold standard in the treatment of sun spots and melasma; it suppresses the enzyme that produces pigment.

Why Dr. Gökhan Elmabaşoğlu?

At our practice in Muratpaşa, Antalya, pigmentation treatment is planned individually around your facial anatomy, with a natural result as the priority. Assessment and treatment are carried out personally by Dr. Gökhan Elmabaşoğlu.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are the results permanent?

Permanent results are achieved with freckles and age spots; hormonal pigmentation such as melasma can recur if sun protection is not maintained.

Can it only be done in winter?

Modern pigmentation lasers that do not peel the skin can be used all year round; the winter months are preferred for ablative lasers and stronger peels.

How many sessions are needed?

Depending on how deep the pigmentation lies, 3 to 8 sessions are planned at intervals of 2-3 weeks.
