Hyperpigmentation affects skin tone uniformity and is a common concern in cosmetic dermatology. This book focuses on the use of lasers in treating pigmentary disorders like melasma, lentigines, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. It outlines the mechanisms by which lasers break down melanin, with attention to laser types, wavelength selection, and treatment intervals. Safety in darker skin tones, adjunctive therapies, and pre-/post-care protocols are addressed. Clinical results, before-and-after images, and case studies provide a comprehensive guide for treating pigmentation safely and effectively with laser technology.
