Pigmentation spots
Pigment spots are dark discolorations in the skin. They make your skin uneven and become more common as you age. Sunlight also causes pigment spots. Do you recognize this too?
When you expose your skin to sunlight, UVA or blue light from your monitor for long periods of time, your skin produces more pigment. Pigment is called melanin in the medical world. Melanin forms in the skin in response to UV light, but certain triggers can also cause excessive production of melanin. The result is pigment discoloration.
The long-term skin damage that uv light gives is also called sun damage. Sun damage causes pigmentation, redness, rosacea and sagging skin. With skin therapy pigment treatment, we can rid you of pigmentation spots!

Personal skin scan
First, we assess your skin with the Observ520 skin scan for the presence and depth of your pigmentation spots. Hyperpigmentation involves excess melanin in the skin, which causes the spots. This excess pigment can be either superficial or deeper in the skin. Pigment spots no longer disappear on their own. With skin therapy treatments, however, we can reduce pigmentation. In addition to the inspection of your skin, we will give you a questionnaire. With that, we create a personalized treatment plan together, to help you get rid of your pigmentation spots optimally.

I have come to know Manon as a very knowledgeable skin therapist with passion for her profession and an eye for detail. She is up to date, approachable in contact and knows well what she is talking about. With Manon I did a pigmentation treatment and with success!

More than symptom relief
Pigment spots from sun damage are very common and we can usually treat them quickly and effectively. How you handle sunlight after treatment determines the maintenance of treatment results. This is why we always pass on to our clients: daylight is sunlight, the best pigment suppressant is to apply at least a cream with SPF 50 daily! Prevention is better than cure. Be sure to maintain the results you achieved and continue to protect your skin daily throughout the year. With melasma , a treatment regimen is much more intensive. This involves ongoing maintenance to stabilize the pigment. Also, the product advice is much more comprehensive. Giving honest and transparent information is incredibly important to us at The Laser Clinic.

Can you solve all skin problems?
Unfortunately, we can’t do magic. Within skin therapy, we are experts in light and laser treatments, medical peels and combination treatments, but with these we cannot completely solve all skin problems. The skin is our largest organ and many different influences play into skin problems. What we do if we can’t solve your skin problem is give you tools: referral to the right specialist, general practitioner, dermatologist or orthomolecular nutritionist. A broader view and approach is desirable in complex skin problems.
Is a laser unsafe for your health?
The lasers we work with at The Laser Clinic have medical CE approval and are FDA approved. As such, the lasers meet stringent safety requirements. In addition, you will be treated by an experienced BIG-registered skin therapist. With the right equipment and knowledge, you are in safe hands. Unfortunately, we regularly see this go wrong at other skin clinics or salons. Be critical with which equipment and by which practitioner you get treated, because you only have one skin!

What is the cause of pigment spots?
There are several causes that cause pigment spots to appear. Consider prolonged exposure to sunlight, the tanning bed and not enough sun protection. Pigmentation spots can also be caused by wounds to the skin, certain medications, hormonal changes or pregnancy. In the latter case, we speak of a pregnancy mask or melasma.
What is the difference between pigment spots and melasma?
Melasma is a chronic skin condition where hormones cause the skin to have a permanent sensitivity to produce too much pigment. Fortunately, there are more and more treatment options to treat this stubborn skin condition. Whereas pigmentation spots are relatively easy to treat, melasma is more of a challenge.
