Laser removal of hormonal hyperpigmentation is the term used to refer to methods of reducing skin discolouration, such as melasma, caused by hormonal changes, UV radiation and genetic predisposition.

Laser treatments are based on selectively breaking down excess melanin in the skin using pulses of light at a specific wavelength. This process leads to a gradual lightening of pigmented lesions and can help to even out skin tone. Different types of lasers are used depending on the depth and intensity of discolouration. The effectiveness of the therapy depends on individual skin characteristics, the type of hyperpigmentation and the number of sessions carried out.

For long-lasting results, it is important to use adequate sun protection and avoid factors that promote the reappearance of pigmentary changes.
