Pro Yellow Laser Treatment For Melasma & Pigmentation Treatment
Searching for an effective pigmentation treatment? If you’re suffering from dark spots, melasma, and uneven skin tones, then you will understand how difficult these skin issues are to treat.
Most traditional treatments like chemical peels or IPL, might lighten dark spots temporarily but can sometimes trigger inflammation or rebound.
Pro Yellow laser treatment uses a precise 577nm wavelength to target melanin deposits deep in the skin, resulting in a brighter complexion with little downtime.
What Is Melasma & Pigmentation?
Pigmentation is the colour of your skin. This colour is determined by the natural melanin. Darker patches and spots are often caused by hyperpigmentation when melanin production in the skin has become excessive or uneven. This could be due to sun damage or melasma.
Hormonal changes can trigger a type of pigmentation called Melasma. This can happen during pregnancy or menopause, for example, and can be worsened by excessive sun exposure. They often show up as brown or grey patches on the skin around the cheeks or other areas.
Why Pigmentation Is Hard To Treat
Pigmentation is very hard to treat since it sits in different layers of the skin. There is also no single cause, pigmentation can be caused by anything from genetics to inflammation or the sun.
Creams, exfoliating acids, or peels only tend to treat the surface of pigmentation, which results in a brighter complexion temporarily, but doesn’t treat the deeper layers of pigmentation.
Melasma also rebounds, meaning that it fades after treatment but then shows up again once exposed to the sun. Choosing a precise, gentle treatment like Pro Yellow Laser can help reduce the chances of post-inflammation and sensitivity.
How Pro Yellow Laser Treatment Works On Melasma & Pigmentation
Pro Yellow Laser emits a wavelength of 577nm, which is a yellow light that is absorbed by melanin in the skin and haemoglobin. This helps break down excess melanin and improve blood flow.
During the treatment, the yellow laser light is applied to the skin’s pigmentation patches, the energy then shatters these pigmentation particles into smaller pieces, and the body removes the particles over time in its self-healing process.
The Pro Yellow Laser treatment is recommended for all skin tones as its very gentle, darker Asian skin tones can often be quite sensitive to traditional laser treatments.
The Science Behind the 577nm Wavelength
Pro Yellow Laser treatment has been found to make a significant difference in treating melasma in people.¹ The 577nm wavelength in particular is considered one of the safest ways to treat both pigmentation and vascular skin issues at the same time.
Other laser treatments have a higher chance of thermal damage, leading to more redness post-treatment and a longer downtime. The process is called selective photothermolysis leaving the surrounding tissue untouched.
What Are The Benefits Of Pro Yellow Laser Treatment?
If you’re considering Pro Yellow Laser treatment for your pigmentation treatment, then these are the advantages you can expect –
- Targets melanin and redness.
- Safe for all skin tones.

What Is The Downtime For Pro Yellow Laser Treatment?
If you decide to book a Pro Yellow Laser treatment at our clinic, it will typically take anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour. Mild redness and warmth are expected after treatment, but should fade quickly.
As the pigment begins to break down in the skin, you will start to see your skin tone even out and a brighter complexion. We recommend around 3-4 sessions, depending on the pigmentation you are treating.
It is recommended after your treatment to wear SPF 30 daily to protect your skin.
