How Does Dr. Ourian Perform Skin Lightening

The skin can undergo a range of pigmentation concerns throughout the years. Sun damage (sun spots) and age spots are two of the most common issues, but patients may also have concerns such as melasma, birthmarks, and freckles. Regardless of the type of pigmentation concern, Dr. Ourian’s skin lightening treatment with his custom-built Coolaser system may be the solution.

The treatment is unique in that it can address pigmentation concerns from a range of cases. From the effects of aging to freckles, hyperpigmentation can take many forms. Dr. Ourian’s adaptive treatment takes this into account and adjusts to work with each patient’s unique situation.

What Is a Treatment Session Like?

The Coolaser system is much gentler on patients’ skin than some comparable devices. We use it to cool the skin before delivering pulses of light, which better protects the parts of the skin unaffected by pigmentation issues. A single visit should take only about 30 minutes, and the treatment itself is mild. At most, patients say it feels like a rubber band snapping against their skin in brief bursts.

Afterward, your skin may be tender and sensitive. So avoid scratching it or any other activity that might irritate it. While the sensation might not be entirely comfortable, most patients say it feels little different from a mild sunburn. This feeling should improve over the next day or two, so long as you care well for your skin.

Is There a Recovery?

Laser treatments for pigmentation concerns are all noninvasive. Thus, there is no real downtime required from the time you complete your treatment. However, most patients will take about 1 week off from any social activities due to redness and swelling. These effects are entirely normal and are part of the skin preparing to shed the damaged layer of skin.

While your skin is sensitive from the treatment, avoid any potential irritants. Namely, minimize any sun exposure and pause use of skin products that contain any harsh or abrasive elements. For example, avoid retinoids, vitamin C, and any exfoliants. Once your outer layer of damaged skin has flaked off, you can return to your normal skincare routine. If you have more sessions scheduled, you may come back for the next one within weeks. Typically, we space out treatments by about 4 weeks.

What Are Skin Lightening Results Like?

The number of sessions needed to lighten any hyperpigmentation can vary. Some patients may see their skin return to an even tone after a single treatment, while others may need around 3 to 5 sessions for full results. You can begin seeing improvements about 1 week after your session, once the upper layer of skin has flaked off. Beneath this layer of damaged skin should be a new, healthy layer of skin with more even pigmentation.

Results should last for years or even permanently, depending on the type of pigmentation concerns you have. While the pigmented areas are fully treated, the body can still develop future lesions based on age and environmental factors. The best way to promote lifelong clear skin is to adhere to a healthy care routine, including:

High-quality skin care products
Minimal direct sun exposure
Routine use of sunscreen
Avoidance of smoking and excess alcohol use
