Treatment

Hypochromia is the decrease in skin pigmentation in certain areas, resulting in patches that are lighter than the natural skin tone. These changes can arise from a variety of causes, such as previous inflammation (post-inflammatory hypochromia), superficial fungal infections (such as pityriasis versicolor), autoimmune diseases (such as vitiligo), or chemical and physical aggressions to the skin.

Treatment of hypochromia depends on the underlying cause. It may include topical antifungals in cases of infection, UVB-NB phototherapy in vitiligo, and the use of corticosteroids or immunomodulators. Techniques such as microneedling are also used to stimulate repigmentation in selected cases.

The 1,340 nm Nd:YAP laser, although best known for its collagen stimulation and rejuvenation treatments, can also treat dark spots by promoting controlled inflammation in the dermis. This stimulation can activate remaining melanocytes and encourage the migration and proliferation of these pigment cells in the affected area, contributing to progressive skin repigmentation.

ProDeep® is a unique 1,340 nm handpiece compatible with the ETHEREA-MX® and ZYE® platforms. It was possible to completely reverse dark spots in just two sessions.
