Hyperpigmentation Treatment in Tulsa, OK
The Q-Switched YAG/KTP laser is a trusted solution for reducing sunspots and melasma safely and effectively. At Aging Backwards Medical, we take pride in offering this proven treatment that targets and fades unwanted pigmentation caused by sun exposure, aging, and hormonal changes. This laser system uses advanced dual wavelengths (1064nm/532nm) to break apart excess melanin in the skin so your body can naturally remove it over time. This treatment targets dark areas while protecting the surrounding skin. The powerful yet gentle energy breaks down both deep and surface-level pigment. Whether you’re dealing with sunspots or stubborn melasma, this treatment will leave you with a more even-toned, radiant complexion.
Waiting too long can allow dark pigmentation to become more deeply embedded, making it harder to treat later. Beyond the visible discoloration, many patients share that the emotional toll—feeling self-conscious or frustrated—can impact their daily confidence and joy. Let’s bring back your natural glow and restore your self-confidence.

FAQs
How does the Q-Switched laser treat sunspots and melasma?
The Q-Switched YAG/KTP laser energy breaks apart melanin in the skin. Your body then naturally eliminates these pigment fragments over time, resulting in clearer, more even skin. It does this without disrupting the surrounding skin, making the Q-switch an excellent choice for pigment.
How many treatments will I need?
Depending upon the severity and depth of your pigment, most patients will require 2 to 4 sessions, spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. Our team may also recommend prescription strength skincare or other in-office treatments to enhance your results.
Is the treatment painful?
Most patients describe the sensation as a very light snapping feeling or warm sensation. An available topical numbing cream enhances comfort during the session, but it is rarely needed.
What's the downtime after sunspots and melasma treatment?
There may be mild redness or temporary darkening of the treated area, but this will go away within a few hours to several days, depending upon the depth and severity of your pigmentation. Downtime will be discussed during your consultation so you will know what to expect ahead of time.
Does sunspot and melasma treatment work on all skin tones?
The Q-Switched YAG laser is safe for many skin types but is most effective on light to medium skin tones. You will undergo a skin assessment during the consultation to determine the best treatment plan.
Can melasma return after treatment?
Melasma can return if triggered by sun exposure, certain medications, and hormonal changes. Consistent use of sunscreen and a proper skincare regimen can help maintain your results long-term.
