Hyperpigmentation is more than a cosmetic concern—it affects confidence, skin health, and overall self-esteem. At WIH International Hospital’s Anti-Aging & Wellness Center, we offer world-class treatments designed to restore skin clarity and reveal your most luminous self.

Whether caused by sun exposure, hormonal fluctuations, or inflammation, our comprehensive solutions blend advanced laser technology, clinical skincare, and expert dermatological care, all delivered in a safe, internationally accredited environment in the heart of Bangkok.

Precision Targeting: Our Advanced Approach to Pigmentation Correction

At WIH International Hospital, we leverage a sophisticated professional-grade technologies and clinical expertise to address a wide spectrum of pigmentation concerns:

      1. Professional-Grade Laser & Light Therapies: The Power of Precision

Lasers and advanced light devices are at the forefront of modern pigmentation treatment, offering unparalleled precision in targeting melanin without harming surrounding healthy skin.

  • Pico-second Lasers (e.g., PicoWay, PicoSure): Representing the pinnacle of laser technology, these ultra-fast lasers deliver energy in picoseconds. This generates a photoacoustic effect that shatters pigment into microscopic particles, allowing the body to naturally clear them.

They are exceptionally effective for:

  • Melasma: Addressing this challenging, hormonally influenced pigmentation with high precision and reduced risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
  • Sun Spots (Solar Lentigines) & Age Spots: Eradicating isolated dark spots caused by sun exposure.
  • Freckles: Gently lightening diffuse freckles for a more even complexion.
  • Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH): Fading dark marks left behind by acne or skin injury.
  • Q-Switched Nd:YAG Lasers: These lasers deliver high-intensity pulses to break down pigment, ideal for various types of dark spots and uneven tone.
  • Intense Pulsed Light (IPL): While not a laser, IPL uses broad-spectrum light to target multiple chromophores, including melanin and hemoglobin, effectively treating superficial sun damage, redness, and overall skin discoloration.

How They Work: These advanced devices deliver focused energy that is preferentially absorbed by the melanin in pigmented lesions. This energy then converts into heat or a photoacoustic shockwave that breaks down the excess pigment into tiny fragments. These fragments are then naturally cleared away by your body’s lymphatic system, revealing clearer, more even-toned skin over time.

        2. Personalized Medical-Grade Skincare Plans: Sustaining Your Clarity

Beyond in-clinic treatments, a meticulously tailored home skincare regimen is crucial for accelerating results, preventing recurrence, and maintaining your skin’s health. Our dermatologists will prescribe a custom plan utilizing professional-grade ingredients:

  • Brightening Agents: Formulations containing ingredients like Hydroquinone, Vitamin C, Niacinamide, Kojic Acid, Tranexamic Acid, and Arbutin to inhibit melanin production and lighten existing spots.
  • Exfoliants: Gentle retinoids, AHAs, or BHAs to accelerate cell turnover and aid in the shedding of pigmented cells.
  • Advanced Sun Protection: Broad-spectrum SPF 50+ sunscreen is non-negotiable. We emphasize the importance of consistent use, even indoors, to prevent further pigmentation and protect treated areas. We may recommend tinted mineral sunscreens for enhanced visible light protection, crucial for melasma.
  • Hydration & Barrier Support: Products designed to strengthen your skin’s protective barrier, reduce inflammation, and optimize moisture levels, essential for healthy skin response to treatments.

         3. Complementary & Supportive Therapies: Enhancing Outcomes

For comprehensive results, especially with complex cases like melasma, we may integrate other supportive therapies:

  • Chemical Peels: Formulated peels can gently exfoliate the top layers of skin, shedding pigmented cells and allowing active ingredients to penetrate deeper.
  • Microneedling with Serums: Can enhance product penetration and stimulate controlled healing, which can help improve overall skin tone and texture.
  • Topical & Oral Medications: For certain conditions, such as resistant melasma, prescription oral medications or compounded topical creams may be part of the holistic treatment plan.

FAQ

At WIH, we specialize in treating a wide range of pigmentation concerns, including melasma, sun spots, age spots, freckles, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH). Our advanced diagnostic tools allow us to differentiate between types of pigmentation for precise treatment.

Most of our laser and light treatments are generally well-tolerated. Patients typically describe the sensation as a quick snap or a warm tingling. For your comfort, topical numbing cream can be applied before deeper treatments.

The number of sessions varies depending on the type, depth, and severity of your pigmentation, as well as the specific technology used. Typically, 3 to 6 sessions are recommended for optimal results, spaced several weeks apart to allow for skin healing and pigment clearance. Your dermatologist will provide a personalized estimate during your consultation.

Most of our laser treatments for pigmentation involve minimal downtime. You might experience temporary redness or mild swelling, similar to a sunburn, which usually resolves within a few hours to a couple of days. For some deeper spot treatments, tiny scabs may form and naturally flake off in about a week.

Prevention is key to maintaining clear skin. The most crucial step is consistent and diligent use of broad-spectrum SPF 50+ sunscreen daily, even on cloudy days or indoors near windows. Following your personalized medical-grade skincare plan, avoiding excessive sun exposure, and addressing any underlying hormonal imbalances (especially for melasma) are also vital.
