Pigmentation concerns need diagnosis before treatment. Melasma, sun damage, post-inflammatory pigmentation, and suspicious pigmented lesions are managed differently.
Pigmentation concerns can come from several causes, including melasma, sun damage, inflammation after acne or dermatitis, medicines, and benign or concerning pigmented lesions.
The first step is diagnosis. Some pigmentation is treated medically or cosmetically, while atypical lesions need assessment to rule out skin cancer before laser or light-based treatment is considered.

Diagnosis before cosmetic treatment
02
Dermoscopy or biopsy when a lesion is atypical
03
Sun protection and maintenance planning
04
Laser, IPL, peel, or topical options only when suitable
Devices are considered only after diagnosis, skin type, risk, downtime, and goals are understood.
Pigmentation should be assessed first. Some pigmented lesions need medical evaluation before any cosmetic or laser treatment is considered.
Melasma can be slow and recurring. Treatment planning needs realistic goals, sun protection, and careful selection of any procedure.
