Hyperpigmentation Treatment in Orange County

Hyperpigmentation Treatment

Lasers have been safely used since 1960 to remove brown spots, sun spots, age spots and more.  The Astanza® 532 Laser shines above the competition with its Q-switch Ruby laser—ideal for the darkest of spots.

Here’s What Astanza® 532 Can Do For You:

  • Requires less treatments than pulsed light or chemical peels

  • Fast treatment time

  • Easy to tolerate

  • Minimal downtime

  • Results last

Just one Astanza® 532 laser treatment can remove the majority of brown spots and hyperpigmentation.

How does the Astanza® 532 laser work to remove my brown spots?

The Astanza® 532 laser emits an intense beam of light that is directed toward your pigment. Lesions such as brown age spots or brown birthmarks absorb the laser energy much more than the normal skin. This allows the laser to remove these blotches without harming your surrounding skin.

What will my Astanza® 532 laser treatment involve?

Our physician or physician assistant will use the Astanza® 532 laser hand piece to pulse over the spots. Your treatment time depends on the number and size of lesions that have to be treated. A single small brown mark takes only a few seconds. Treating many spots on the hands or face can take up to thirty minutes.

How many treatments will I need?

Many patients get great results after one treatment. If your spots are especially stubborn, you can come in for a touch-up treatment a month later. Birthmarks are less predictable, but usually require two to three treatments.
