How many treatments for laser spot removal? A simple explanation of the progress and effectiveness.

Many patients who suffer from blemishes often ask, "How many times does it take to get rid of a blemish with the blemish removal laser? Is it true that a blemish disappears after just one session? These are some of the questions we receive from patients who suffer from blemishes.

It is very important to have an appropriate treatment plan that suits the type of blemish and the skin condition. In this issue, we will explain the guidelines for the number of times and points to keep in mind when continuing treatment.

In conclusion, the number of spot removal laser sessions can range from one to multiple.
This is because the number of treatments required depends on the type, density, depth, and skin type of the blemish.

Let's look at the general number of treatments for each of the characteristics of the spots.

[Seth] A shallow stain that stays on the epidermis.

Senile pigmentation (spots), in which melanin pigment is present in the epidermis on the skin's surface, may require only one to two treatments with a high-power spot-removing laser. However, in some cases, such as when the spots are dark, large, or numerous, three or more additional treatments may be necessary, depending on the progress and condition of the spots.

Deep stains that have penetrated to the dermis.

If the melanin pigment extends to the dermis, which lies beneath the epidermis, late-onset nevus of Ota or ADM may be involved. Melasma may also be involved in some types of spots. For late-onset nevus of Ota and ADM, multiple laser treatments are performed to gradually lighten the pigment deposited in the deeper layers. In some cases, more than three treatments are required.

On the other hand, melasma is at risk of worsening with high-power spot removal lasers. In some cases, a combination of needle RF "Silpharm X" and "melasma injections" may be considered for the second and third treatments to progressively fade the spots.

Laser spot removal treatment works by changing the melanin pigment inside the skin, causing the color tone to fade over time. Therefore, if the pigment is present in a deeper layer of the skin, laser irradiation must be repeated multiple times to gradually lighten the stain.

The number of times and frequency of spot removal laser treatments per year varies depending on skin type, type of spots, and irradiated areas, but in general, treatment plans are often made for four to six treatments throughout the year, with treatments spaced several months apart.

It is important to prioritize skin recovery and continue treatment at an appropriate pace.

At Bibi Clinic, we carefully assess the condition of the spots during the initial consultation and carefully explain how many times are needed and what is the appropriate interval between treatments.

Here is the general course of events after laser blemish removal. The course of events after treatment varies greatly depending on the type and depth of the blemish, the skin type, and the aftercare situation. Not all patients will follow the same changes, so please check this page for trends.

Number of spot removal lasers, 1st

Areas irradiated with a spot-removing laser such as the PicoSpot may form scabs on days 1-3; around day 5-6, the scabs darken and begin to peel off naturally.

While it is easy to feel that the spots are less noticeable at this time of year, the skin is still sensitive.
To prevent post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, in which spots reappear after the scab has peeled off, it is important not to forcibly peel off the scab, but to take measures against UV rays and to keep the skin moisturized.

Number of times of spot removal laser, 1st

One to two weeks after the spot removal laser, the scab will peel off to reveal new pink skin. Continued avoidance of UV light, friction, and other irritants will affect the process.

Number of spot removal lasers, 1st time|3-4 weeks later

Three weeks after the spot removal laser is when the uneven coloration settles and the overall skin tends to look brighter.
On the other hand, a faint brownish spot may be visible after about four weeks. This is often post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation and will be monitored with appropriate care.

Number of spot removal lasers, 1st time

Some people notice a change in their spots up to three months after undergoing a spot removal laser. If post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation has occurred, it tends to fade gradually after three months or more.
Depending on skin type and aftercare, it may take up to 6 months for the spots to fade. Continued UV protection and moisturizing should be used.

When to consider a second or third laser for blemish removal

Three to six months after the first irradiation, a second treatment is considered if "the color is still there" or "there is another spot".

At this time, treatments are required at regular intervals to avoid the risk of inflammation and pigmentation. The skin condition is then reevaluated and a third treatment is performed. Generally, around the third treatment, many cases of change can be felt.

If a blemish is not completely eliminated after three irradiations, a fourth or fifth irradiation may be considered at the physician's discretion.

The results of laser spot removal do not end after irradiation, but the results are largely determined by checking the progress after treatment with the doctor and continuing skin care that avoids irritation.

At Bibi Clinic, under the supervision of BIANCA CLINIC, which does not take reservations in Japan, each patient's skin condition is carefully examined, and treatment is provided while attending to any concerns or questions during treatment. We provide an environment where those who are concerned about the progress of their treatment can consult with us with peace of mind.

Bibi Clinic's idea of "spot removal treatment to reduce the number of times

It is not recommended to apply more laser than necessary "to fade spots quickly." Excessive irradiation may lead to accumulation of skin damage, risk of hyperpigmentation, and reduced recovery.

At Bibi Clinic, we emphasize the importance of following the proper frequency and interval of spot removal lasers. To enhance effectiveness, we offer the following multifaceted approaches

  • Skin growth injections and peels to improve the skin's foundation
  • Inflammation Care with LDM
  • Home care with oral medications and medical skin care items

We believe that not only "fading" the spots, but also cultivating and maintaining a skin environment that does not allow further formation of spots is a shortcut to reducing the number of spot removal laser treatments.
