Common Concerns We Treat

  • Brown sun spots and age spots
  • Uneven skin tone from UV exposure
  • Melasma and hormonal pigmentation
  • Post‑inflammatory marks from acne

What Causes Pigmentation & Sun Damage?

In North Texas, we see intense sun exposure almost year‑round. Over time, UV rays trigger overactive melanocytes—the pigment‑producing cells in your skin. This creates dark spots, freckles, and patches of uneven tone that topical products alone often can’t fully correct.

Hormones, pregnancy, acne, genetic factors, and heat can further worsen pigmentation, leading to conditions such as melasma or stubborn post‑inflammatory dark marks. At Oasis, our physicians evaluate the root cause before recommending laser treatment so we can target pigment precisely and safely.

Medical‑Grade Laser Pigmentation Correction at Oasis

Our clinic‑based lasers are selected and calibrated by physicians, not simply for cosmetic use. This allows us to treat pigmentation more effectively while prioritizing safety for a wide range of skin types and tones.

Physician‑Guided Protocols

Every treatment plan is reviewed by a physician who understands skin biology, medications, and how lasers interact with different skin tones.

Tailored to Your Skin Type

Settings, wavelength, and number of passes are customized to your Fitzpatrick skin type and pattern of pigmentation, minimizing risk of rebound darkening.

Integrated Skincare Plans

We pair laser sessions with medical‑grade skincare, pigment modulators, and sun protection so your results last long‑term.

Is Laser Pigmentation Correction Right for You?

During your consultation, we assess your skin, medical history, and lifestyle to decide whether laser is the safest and most effective way to treat your pigmentation.

You may be a good candidate if:

  • You have brown spots, sun spots, or uneven tone from sun exposure
  • You’re bothered by melasma or patchy discoloration
  • You have realistic expectations and can commit to sun protection
  • You are not pregnant or breastfeeding
  • You are not on medications that increase light sensitivity

We may recommend alternatives if:

  • You have very recent sunburn or active tanning habits

  • You have uncontrolled melasma that may worsen with heat

  • You have a history of keloids or abnormal scarring

  • You are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have certain medical conditions

If laser isn’t ideal for you, our team can guide you toward alternative treatments, such as chemical peels, medical‑grade skincare, or combination therapies designed to gently fade pigment over time.

What to Expect from Your Laser Pigmentation Treatment

Our process is designed to be clear, comfortable, and medically thorough at every step.

Medical Skin Evaluation

We review your medical history, medications, and prior treatments. Your provider examines where pigment sits in the skin to choose the right laser approach and number of sessions.

Treatment Day

Your skin is cleansed, protective eyewear is applied, and the laser is passed over targeted areas. Most patients describe the sensation as a quick snap with warmth; sessions typically take 20–40 minutes.

Recovery & Follow‑Up

Pigmented spots often darken initially, then flake or fade over 7–14 days. We provide clear aftercare, sunscreen recommendations, and schedule your next session if needed.

Realistic Results & Timelines

Many patients notice brighter, more even skin tone after their first session. More stubborn sun damage or melasma typically requires a series of 3–5 treatments spaced several weeks apart for best results.

  • Reduction in brown spots and sun damage
  • More even, radiant overall skin tone
  • Smoother texture and improved clarity
  • Little to no downtime for most patients

Consistent sun protection and physician‑directed skincare help maintain your results and reduce the risk of pigment returning.

Before and after laser pigmentation correction results

Note: Individual results vary based on skin type, severity of pigmentation, and adherence to sun protection. During your consultation, we’ll outline what you can realistically expect.

Safety, Comfort, and Medical Oversight First

Laser treatments are powerful tools that should be used with care—especially on pigmented skin. At Oasis Medical Clinic & Spa, physicians oversee protocols, and our team is trained to recognize when to adjust or pause treatment to protect your skin.

  • Thorough screening for contraindications and medications
  • Careful parameter selection for darker skin tones
  • Medical‑grade cooling and soothing post‑care products
  • Clear instructions to minimize downtime and complications

Laser Pigmentation Correction FAQs

Have questions about downtime, comfort, or pricing? These answers can help you decide if you’re ready to schedule

a consultation in McKinney.

How many laser sessions will I need for sun spots and pigmentation?

Most patients need a series of 3–5 treatments for optimal fading of sun spots and uneven tone, spaced about 4–6 weeks apart. Mild sun damage may respond in fewer sessions, while deeper or long‑standing pigment such as melasma often requires a more gradual, layered approach. During your consultation at Oasis Medical Clinic & Spa, we’ll give you a personalized estimate based on your skin and goals.

Is there downtime after laser pigmentation correction?

Downtime is usually minimal. You may notice temporary redness, warmth, and darkening of pigmented spots, followed by flaking or shedding over 7–14 days. Many patients feel comfortable returning to work or daily activities the same or next day with sunscreen and mineral makeup, if desired. We’ll review exactly what to expect based on the type of laser used for your skin.

Does the treatment hurt?

Most patients describe the sensation as a series of quick snaps with warmth, similar to a rubber band. Treatments are generally well tolerated. Depending on the area treated and your sensitivity, we may use cooling, numbing, or other comfort measures to keep you as relaxed as possible.

Can laser make my pigmentation worse?

When used incorrectly, lasers can potentially worsen pigmentation—especially in melasma or darker skin tones. That’s why physician oversight and proper device selection are so important. At Oasis, we carefully assess your skin type, choose conservative starting settings, and may recommend alternative treatments if we feel laser would carry unnecessary risk.

How much does laser pigmentation correction cost?

Pricing depends on the size of the area, type of pigmentation, and number of sessions recommended. We’ll review costs and package options with you at your consultation so you understand your full investment before starting treatment.
