PIGMENTATION THERAPY
Light-Based Support for Pigmented Areas
At Näkemiin, we offer IPL and ND:YAG treatments to help soften the appearance of pigmented lesions, such as sun-induced spots, age-related darkening, freckles and other areas where pigment has developed or become more noticeable over time.
These treatments focus only on localised areas of pigment and are carried out with clear guidance so you understand each stage of the process and what results may be realistic for you.
What Pigmentation Treatment Can Help Reduce
Pigment treatments may help soften the appearance of:
- Sunspots
- Age spots
- Freckles
- Localised areas of pigmentation
- Pigment irregularities
- Darkened patches following inflammation
- Areas of pigment that have naturally deepened over time
Suitability depends on pigment depth, colour and your natural skin tone.
How the Treatment Works
IPL (Intense Pulsed Light)
Targets pigment closer to the surface.
This can help areas gradually appear lighter and more uniform in appearance.
ND:YAG Laser
Reaches deeper layers and is used for pigment that sits deeper in the skin or when IPL is not appropriate.
Your patch test determines which method is safest and most suitable.
Your Treatment Experience
Before treatment, your skin is assessed and the area is prepared.
During the session:
- IPL may feel like warm flashes
- ND:YAG may feel sharper or more focused
- Sensation varies by pigment type and area
- Sessions are usually short and structured
The sensation can be intense, but we explain each step so you know what to expect throughout.
Who This Treatment May Be Suitable For
This treatment may be appropriate if you would like to reduce the appearance of:
- Sun-related pigmentation
- Freckles or age spots
- Patchy or concentrated pigment areas
- Pigmentation that developed after inflammation
- Pigmented lesions that are suitable for light-based treatment
Suitability is always confirmed during your patch test.
Results & Expectations
It is normal for pigment to darken before it begins to lift — this is expected and temporary.
As the skin settles, you may notice:
- Softer-looking pigmentation
- Reduced visibility of sunspots or age spots
- More consistent-looking areas
- A clearer appearance where pigment was concentrated
Results build gently over a course of treatments.
Aftercare
Aftercare is simple and includes:
- avoiding heat and sun exposure
- keeping the area cool and moisturised
- Use SPF daily while undergoing treatment
- spacing sessions appropriately
We’ll guide you through everything you need to know.
