Treating pigment safely, including in darker and pigmented skin
Pigmentation and melasma articles on Pico laser, dark circles, and hyperpigmentation, including how pigment is treated safely in darker and pigmented skin.
Pigment concerns, melasma, dark circles, sun spots, and post-inflammatory marks, are common, but they are not all treated the same way, and not every laser is safe for every skin tone. This collection focuses on how pigment actually responds to treatment and why the choice of technology matters as much as the treatment itself.
Several articles look at Pico laser platforms like the Fotona StarWalker, which use very short pulses to break down melanin with less surrounding heat than older Q-switched lasers, a distinction that matters most for patients with darker or more pigmented skin, where heat-based lasers carry a higher risk of worsening pigment rather than clearing it. Other posts cover dark circles under the eyes, what causes them and which non-surgical options address pigment versus volume loss, and how broadband light technology compares for sun-related pigment.
Because pigment can come from sun exposure, hormonal changes, inflammation, or genetics, the right approach depends on what is actually causing it. A physician-led consultation is the way to confirm candidacy and match a treatment plan to your skin tone and pigment type.

Pico laser platforms, including the Fotona StarWalker used at Medrein Health & Aesthetics, use ultra-short pulses that generate a photo-acoustic effect rather than relying on heat, which lowers the heat-related risk that makes older lasers a poor fit for darker or more pigmented skin. Candidacy is still confirmed individually during a consultation, since skin type, pigment depth, and treatment history all factor in.
Melasma is a hormonally influenced pigment pattern that often appears on the face. Hyperpigmentation is a broader term covering dark spots from sun exposure, inflammation, or genetics. Dark circles under the eyes can involve pigment, thin skin, or volume loss, and sometimes a combination of the three. Each responds differently to treatment, which is why an exam comes before a recommendation.
Most patients need about three to five sessions spaced several weeks apart, though the exact number depends on the type and depth of pigment being treated. Daily sun protection afterward helps maintain results. Results may vary, and a consultation is the way to get a session count specific to your skin.
Medrein Health & Aesthetics selected its Pico and Fotona laser platforms specifically because they can treat melasma and hyperpigmentation safely across a range of skin tones, including darker and more pigmented skin. These articles explain how that technology works and how candidacy is confirmed.
