Pigment laser treatments

At Amsterdam Skin Clinic, we utilize the N-yag laser, an advanced instrument for pigmentation treatments. This laser has a deep penetration depth, specifically targets melanin, is safe for various skin types, and has minimal side effects. In addition to reducing pigmentation, the N-yag laser also stimulates collagen production for improved skin texture and firmness. Our commitment to advanced technologies and experienced professionals ensures effective and safe outcomes in cosmetic dermatology.

The treatment

At Amsterdam Skin Clinic, we personalize and conduct every pigment laser treatment with care and precision. During the consultation, we discuss your skin concerns and collaboratively create a treatment plan. On the day of the treatment, we cleanse the skin, and if desired, apply a numbing cream for your comfort.

Our skin therapist explains step by step what will happen during the treatment. We use the N-yag laser, renowned for its effectiveness. We aim this at the areas where you want to reduce pigmentation. You may feel a mild warmth, but we use cooling techniques to keep it comfortable.

Immediately after the treatment, there may be some redness, but it quickly subsides. We provide you with clear aftercare instructions, including how to avoid the sun and which skincare products to use for the best results.

In the weeks following the treatment, you’ll gradually notice improvement. Multiple treatments may be necessary, depending on the severity of the pigmentation.

What to do after the treatment?

After a pigment laser treatment, it is crucial to take careful post-treatment measures to promote smooth recovery. At Amsterdam Skin Clinic, we are pleased to provide you with guidelines for effective aftercare:

• Sun protection: Shield your skin from direct sunlight. Wear a sunscreen with at least SPF 50 and avoid excessive sun exposure for several weeks after the treatment.
• Hydration: Keep your skin well-hydrated. Use mild, hydrating creams to maintain the natural moisture balance of your skin.
• Avoid harsh substances: Steer clear of products containing aggressive ingredients such as retinol, acids, or bleaching agents during the initial days after the treatment. Choose mild, hypoallergenic skincare products such as SkinCeuticals.
• Avoid heat sources: Steer clear of hot baths, showers, saunas, and intense physical exercise that can lead to excessive sweating in the first 2 days after the treatment.
• Avoid friction: Prevent friction on the treated areas. Try not to scratch or pick at the treated areas, as this can slow down the healing process and cause irritation.
• Follow-up appointments: Schedule any necessary follow-up appointments according to your specialist’s recommendations. Sometimes, multiple sessions are required for optimal results.

By following these aftercare steps, you assist your skin in fully recovering and achieving the desired results after a pigment laser treatment. If you have any questions or concerns, the team at Amsterdam Skin Clinic is always ready to assist.
