Pigmentation Laser Treatment in Cumming, GA

Dark Spot Correction & Pigmentation Laser Treatment at Divine Spa in Cumming, GA

Stubborn dark spots, melasma, sunspots, and post-acne discoloration can be incredibly resistant to creams and facials alone. Our advanced laser pigmentation treatment uses targeted light energy to break up excess melanin at the source without damaging the surrounding skin, delivering a visibly clearer, more even complexion with each session.

Who this is for

This treatment is ideal for clients dealing with sunspots and age spots, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation from acne or injury, melasma, uneven skin tone on the face, neck, chest, or hands, and those who have not achieved desired results from topical brightening products alone. A consultation is required to determine candidacy based on skin tone and the nature of the pigmentation.

The Treatment Process

After a thorough skin assessment and consultation, the treatment area is cleansed and prepared. Protective eyewear is provided for both the client and provider. The laser handpiece is passed over the treatment area, delivering precise pulses of energy that target melanin in the skin. Clients typically describe the sensation as a series of quick snaps or mild warmth.

Immediately after treatment, targeted spots may appear slightly darker — this is normal and expected. The darkened pigment will naturally flake away over the following 7–14 days, revealing clearer skin beneath.

PRE-CARE INSTRUCTIONS

  • Avoid all sun exposure, tanning beds, and self-tanner for 4 weeks before treatment
  • Discontinue retinoids and active exfoliants 5–7 days prior
  • Do not wax or use depilatory creams on the treatment area within 2 weeks

  • Inform your provider of all medications — certain medications increase photosensitivity

  • Arrive with a clean face, free of makeup and SPF

POST-CARE INSTRUCTIONS

  • Apply broad-spectrum SPF 50 daily and minimize sun exposure for at least 4–6 weeks after treatment — this is critical to your results and safety
  • Do not pick, rub, or scratch darkened pigment spots as they shed — allow them to fall away naturally
  • Avoid active exfoliants, retinoids, and acids until cleared by your provider
  • Keep skin moisturized with a gentle, fragrance-free moisturizer
  • Avoid heat-generating activities (saunas, hot workouts) for 48–72 hours post-treatment
  • Report any unusual blistering, crusting, or discomfort to your provider promptly

Frequently Asked Questions

1Will my dark spots get darker before they get better?
Yes — this is a completely normal part of the process called 'oxidation.' The laser brings the pigment to the surface, where it briefly darkens and then naturally exfoliates away. Do not pick at this darkening. Allow it to shed on its own.
2How many sessions will I need?
Most clients see significant improvement in 2–4 sessions. Melasma and deeper pigmentation may require additional sessions. Your provider will build a realistic treatment plan at your consultation.
3Is this safe for darker skin tones?
Certain laser technologies and settings must be carefully selected for medium and deeper skin tones to minimize the risk of hyperpigmentation. Your provider will assess your skin tone and customize the protocol to ensure safe and effective treatment.
