Pigmentation Treatment
Highly effective platform for pigment removal
Pigmentation Removal Edmonton
Pigmentation treatment evens out skin tone and improves the appearance of sun damage as well as age spots. Pigmentations can be treated in a number of ways, each treatment available depending on a number of factors, including severity, skin colour and personal concerns.
At Tropicalaser, we offer a variety of pigmentation treatments to help you achieve clearer, more beautiful skin. Our experienced team will work with you to develop a personalized treatment plan that fits your skins unique needs. For specific hyperpigmentation treatments we offer Chemical Peels and Microneedling depending on your skin type and treatment requirements. So don’t wait any longer, contact us today to schedule a consultation!
Gentle Max Laser
The GentleMax is a highly effective platform for the removal of pigment (freckles, birthmarks, age spots, sun spots, melasma) as well as spider veins.
After treatment, blood vessels fade over 2 – 3 months. They may not disappear completely after a single treatment. Side effects may include redness, bruising, itching, swelling, and, in rare instances, permanent skin tone changes. Laser treatments can fade sunspots, also known as solar lentiginosis or age spots, by destroying pigment-producing melanocytes in the skin. Patients typically require several treatment sessions over multiple weeks or months.
The mechanism for treating melasma (also known as pregnancy mask) with the laser is similar to that for fading sunspots. Post-treatment care of melasma is crucial as melasma is notoriously quick to re-emerge. Any sun exposure in the absence of a sunscreen containing a physical barrier (i.e. titanium or zinc oxide) will almost certainly result in a recurrence of melasma.
Frequently Asked Questions
Laser treatment is extremely effective in removing spots caused by sun exposure and hormonal imbalance (such as melasma) aka hyperpigmentation. Unfortunately, it is contra-indicated for dark skins. The following guidelines should be followed:
Skin types 1, 2 and 3 (all Caucasian skin types): Safe to use unless sun exposed
Skin type 4 (Indigenous Canadians, most Hispanics, Metis, many Asians, most Middle-Eastern people): Safe to use provided your skin tone is on the lighter side. We will first perform a test on a very small area to make sure the treatment is both safe and effective for you.
Skin types 4 (darker side) and 5 (most people from India and Pakistan): Laser treatment for pigment is contra-indicated. We do have alternative treatments for you but laser treatment is not safe and will probably make things worse.
Skin type 6 (people of African descent): As for Skin type 6, laser treatment is contra-indicated for reduction of hyperpigmentation. Alternative treatments are available.
You do not need a referral to see a dermatologist in Alberta. You can self-refer or be referred by your family doctor.
Though a referral is not necessary, it would be valuable to consult with a qualified dermatologist or other medical professional to ensure that laser therapy is right for you.

We offer a variety of different laser skin treatments in the Edmonton area. The type of laser skin treatment that is right for you will depend on your individual skin type, needs, and goals. Some common laser skin treatments include:
Fractional Laser Therapy: Fractional laser therapy uses tiny laser beams to target specific areas of the skin. This type of laser therapy can help to improve the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, age spots, and acne scars.
TempSure Envi: The TempSure Envi is the most advanced radio-frequency non-invasive treatment to tighten skin, shrink fat cells and improve lymphatic drainage.
IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) Therapy: IPL therapy uses pulses of light to improve the overall appearance of the skin. IPL therapy can help to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, age spots, and other skin blemishes.
Laser Skin Resurfacing: Laser skin resurfacing uses laser energy to remove the top layer of damaged skin. This type of laser therapy can help to improve the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, age spots, and acne scars.
Laser Hair Removal: Laser hair removal uses laser energy (ie. GentleMax Pro) to destroy hair follicles. This type of laser therapy can help to improve the appearance of unwanted facial and body hair.
