Vibrant, glowing healthy skin which reflects youthfulness is something we all desire. In this Indian skin context it can range from anywhere between reduction of a brown spot to the improvement of a tan. Almost 8-10% patients who visit a skin OPD, come for skin pigmentation. Skin brightening laser is a Q switched Nd Yag laser which is the technology used. Also a picosecond Q switched technology is the other frequently used laser. These lasers act on the melanin cell and it destroys it and your body and skin will get rid of this pigment. So understanding the requirement of the skin the type of the skin and how safely it can be administered would be the first step a dermatologist would take. Certain skin types which are darker like type 5 type 6 need a little extra care. Also certain professions where people are essentially outdoors like construction industry aviation industry, we need to again perform these with care. So the first approach of the dermatologist is always to be conservative. So we use certain good lifestyle changes, medications and applications and oral therapies and wait for it to reduce. Now in certain cases exceptions as in you have already tried all that and you have not seen a change or there is an important event, that’s when we proceed directly to the procedure. So Q switched Laser toning is a very efficient, pain free quick procedure which takes only 15 minutes. It’s an office lunch time procedure. In this once the face is cleanse the laser energy is left on the skin and in 15 minutes you are left with radiant skin even the fine hair on the skin gets bleached and also there is reduction of fine hair. Second most commonly used procedure is Carbon Peel for acne induced pigmentation. Here a carbon layer is applied to the skin and then a laser energy is left. In this the carbon is absorbed into the oil glands and because of that the acne reduces and also the post inflammatory pigmented spots which are there on the skin. So Q switched laser is a very productive way in efficiently reducing your pigment faster and it’s safely done and it can be used for acne scars, pigment spots and other off label indications like dark lips, tattoo removal, pigment patches on back and hand. It is also used for fine hair reduction.
