Causes of Dark Spots on the Skin
Hyperpigmentation occurs when certain areas of the skin appear darker than the surrounding skin, often manifesting as brown spots or small patches of freckles, leading to an uneven complexion.
This discoloration is caused by an overproduction of melanin, the natural pigment responsible for giving color to the skin and hair. Several factors can trigger excess melanin production, with the three most common being:
Inflammation – Skin injuries, acne, or irritation can stimulate melanin production, resulting in post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
Hormonal Changes – Fluctuations, particularly during pregnancy or due to conditions like melasma, can lead to uneven skin tone.
Sun Exposure – UV rays are the leading cause of dark spots, as prolonged exposure accelerates melanogenesis, the process by which melanin is produced to shield the skin from damage.
Since most people spend time outdoors—whether for leisure or daily activities—consistent exposure to the sun makes UV rays the most common culprit behind pigmentation concerns.
How It Works
This advanced laser treatment utilizes highly controlled energy pulses that penetrate the skin, specifically targeting pigmented lesions while leaving surrounding tissue unharmed. The laser energy gently breaks down melanin clusters, prompting the body’s natural healing process to remove damaged cells and generate new, healthy skin tissue. Over time, the treated areas fade, revealing a brighter, smoother, and more youthful complexion.
Personalized Treatment Tailored to Your Skin
Before beginning laser pigmentation removal, it is essential to schedule a comprehensive consultation with one of our certified Cynosure technicians. During this session:
✔ Skin & Medical Assessment – Our experts evaluate the affected area, skin type, and medical history to determine suitability for the procedure.
✔ Customized Treatment Plan – The number of sessions required depends on the depth, size, and age of pigmentation, with older spots typically needing more treatments.
✔ Expectations & Aftercare – We provide a detailed overview of the procedure, potential downtime, and post-treatment care to ensure the best possible results.
Since pigmentation varies in intensity, multiple sessions are often required to achieve optimal skin clarity. Older, deeper pigmentation may take longer to fade, whereas newer spots may respond more quickly to treatment. With consistent care and sun protection, laser pigmentation removal can dramatically enhance skin texture, tone, and overall radiance, restoring a clear, vibrant, and youthful glow.

Post-Treatment Care for Laser Pigmentation Removal
Proper aftercare is essential to ensure the best results from your Cynosure Apogee Elite laser pigmentation treatment. Following the recommended post-treatment protocols will help your skin heal effectively, reduce any discomfort, and maximize the benefits of the procedure.
What to Expect After Treatment
- Immediately after the session, mild redness and slight swelling may occur around the treated area. This typically subsides within a few hours.
- The treated pigmentation may appear darker before it gradually dries up and sheds over the course of several days to weeks.
- As the skin heals, the pigmented lesions may crust and slough off naturally. It is crucial not to scratch, rub, or pick at the area to avoid scarring or irritation.
Essential Aftercare Guidelines
✔ Soothe & Hydrate: Apply an aloe-based gel or an approved moisturizer to calm and hydrate the skin.
✔ Sun Protection: Avoid direct sun exposure throughout the healing process. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) whenever the treated area is exposed to UV rays.
✔ Gentle Skincare Routine: Use mild, non-irritating skincare products. Avoid harsh exfoliants, retinol, or chemical peels until your skin fully recovers.
✔ Avoid Heat & Irritants: Stay away from hot showers, saunas, and intense workouts for at least 24-48 hours to prevent unnecessary irritation.
Follow-Up Treatments
For optimal results, 2 to 4 sessions may be needed, typically spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. The number of treatments required depends on the depth and age of the pigmentation, with older spots often needing more sessions.
Note: Be sure to adhere to the Pre/Post Treatment Protocols provided before your procedure to ensure a safe and effective healing process. If any unusual side effects occur, consult your technician for further guidance.
