Skin Pigmentation Treatment in Dallas, TX

Fade Dark Spots, Sun Damage & Uneven Tone

with Cynosure Lutronic Ultra.

Uneven skin tone, dark spots, and pigmentation can affect anyone—but now, there’s a safe, non-invasive way to restore a clearer, more radiant complexion. At Garduño Family Medicine, we offer advanced pigmentation correction using the Lutronic Ultra™ laser, a state-of-the-art solution that targets discoloration at the source with minimal discomfort and no downtime.

What Causes Skin Pigmentation?

Skin pigmentation occurs when your skin produces too much melanin, often due to:
  • Sun exposure (UV damage)

  • Hormonal changes (e.g., melasma)

  • Aging (age spots or liver spots)

  • Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (from acne or injury)

  • Genetics and skin type

Whether you’re dealing with freckles, dark patches, or stubborn pigmentation, the Ultra™ laser offers an effective, customizable approach to correcting tone irregularities.

The Lutronic Ultraâ„¢ is a non-ablative fractional thulium laser that delivers energy to the upper layers of skin (epidermis and superficial dermis), precisely targeting areas of excess pigment without damaging surrounding tissue.

Key advantages include:

  • Precise pigment targeting with 1927nm wavelength
  • Customizable intensity for different skin tones and severity levels
  • Quick sessions (as little as 5–10 minutes for a full face)
  • Built-in cooling for added comfort
  • Little to no downtime

The Ultra laser creates controlled micro-injuries that trigger natural skin renewal and allow dark spots to rise to the surface and fade away.

How Does the Ultra Laser Treat Pigmentation?

Lutronic Ultraâ„¢ effectively treats a wide range of pigment-related skin issues, including:

  • Sun spots / age spots
  • Freckles
  • Melasma
  • Uneven skin tone
  • Hyperpigmentation from acne
  • Pigmented birthmarks (in some cases)

Whether your pigmentation is superficial or persistent, we can personalize a treatment plan to match your goals and skin type.

What Types of Pigmentation Can Be Treated?

Most patients notice:

  • A brighter, more even complexion
  • A reduction in the visibility of dark spots
  • Smoother skin texture and tone
  • Increased skin radiance within 1–2 weeks

 

Multiple sessions (typically 3–4 spaced about 4 weeks apart) may be recommended for deeper or more stubborn pigmentation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the pigment come back after treatment?

While treated pigmentation typically fades significantly or completely, new pigment can develop over time due to factors like sun exposure, hormones, or aging. Maintenance treatments and consistent use of sunscreen can help prolong your results and prevent recurrence.

Can this treatment be done year-round?

Yes, Lutronic Ultraâ„¢ can be used year-round, but sun protection is crucial before and after each treatment. Patients should avoid tanning and use broad-spectrum sunscreen to minimize the risk of post-treatment pigmentation changes or irritation.

Is there any special skincare I should use after treatment?

Yes. After treatment, we recommend:

  • Using gentle cleansers and moisturizers
  • Avoiding exfoliants, acids (like glycolic or salicylic), and retinoids for 3–5 days
  • Applying broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen daily
    We may also suggest medical-grade skincare to support healing and enhance results.

Can I wear makeup after pigmentation treatment?

Makeup can typically be worn 24 hours after treatment, once any redness or sensitivity subsides. However, for the first day post-treatment, it’s best to allow your skin to breathe and heal without cosmetics or heavy products.

Who is not a good candidate for laser pigmentation removal?

Laser pigmentation treatment may not be suitable for:

  • Individuals with active skin infections, open wounds, or uncontrolled acne
  • Pregnant or breastfeeding women (as a precaution)

Patients with a history of keloid scarring or certain photosensitive conditions
A consultation is necessary to ensure treatment safety and suitability for your skin type and medical history.
