Skin Pigmentation solutions tailored to your skin type

Skin pigmentation refers to the coloring of your skin, which is determined by the amount and type of melanin produced by specialized cells called melanocytes. When these cells become damaged, overactive, or uneven in their melanin production, it can result in various pigmentation disorders that affect the appearance and uniformity of your skin tone.

Skin Pigmentation Treatment & Lesions Removal

Types of Pigmentation Disorders We Treat

Melasma

Often called “pregnancy mask,” melasma appears as brown or gray patches, typically on the face. It’s commonly triggered by hormonal changes, sun exposure, and certain medications.

Age Spots (Solar Lentigines)

Also known as liver spots or sun spots, these are flat, brown spots that develop due to prolonged sun exposure over the years. They typically appear on areas frequently exposed to the sun.

Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH)

Dark spots that develop after skin injury, acne, or inflammation. These spots can range from pink to red, purple, brown, or black, depending on your skin tone.

Freckles

Small, light brown spots that are usually genetic and become more prominent with sun exposure.

Café-au-Lait Spots

Light brown birthmarks that can appear anywhere on the body and are usually present from birth or early childhood.

Drug-Induced Pigmentation

Certain medications can cause skin discoloration as a side effect.

Recovery and Aftercare

Questions & Answers

Some common questions we get asked about skin pigmentation treatment

Is the treatment painful?

Most patients describe laser treatments as feeling like a rubber band snapping against the skin. We provide topical numbing cream when needed to ensure your comfort.

How long do results last?

Results can be long-lasting with proper sun protection and skincare. However, new pigmentation can develop with sun exposure or hormonal changes.

Can all skin types be treated?

Yes, but treatment approaches vary based on skin type. Darker skin tones require specialized techniques to avoid complications.

Are there any side effects?

Temporary side effects may include redness, swelling, darkening, or lightening of treated areas. Serious complications are rare when treatments are performed by qualified professionals.

When will I see results?

Initial improvements may be visible within 1-2 weeks, with optimal results typically seen after 2-3 months and completion of the treatment series.

Can I wear makeup after treatment?

Mineral makeup can usually be applied 24-48 hours after most treatments. We’ll provide specific guidelines based on your treatment.

Can pigmentation return?

While treated pigmentation rarely returns in the exact same spots, new pigmentation can develop without proper sun protection and maintenance.

How much does treatment cost?

Costs vary based on the type and extent of treatment needed. We’ll provide a detailed quote during your consultation.

Do you offer payment plans?

Yes, with Linia Skin Clinic you can spread the cost of your treatment over 3 months with interest-free payments.

I visited doctor Zokaie for the baby face procedure and I have to say he is excellent. The service was wonderful. My face was a bit red at first but within a few hours the redness went away. I could already see the results. I am very very happy. The staff was amazing as well.
