Remove pigment spots in Zurich

Remove pigment spots – for an even complexion

Many people associate a clear, even complexion with youth, freshness and vitality. Pigment spots, which can be caused by sunlight, hormonal changes or the natural ageing process, disrupt this image – especially when they appear on the face. Many of those affected find them aesthetically unpleasant and wish for a smooth, calm complexion.

Pigmentation disorders are widespread. Whether age spots, melasma or hyperpigmentation: Today, modern aesthetic medicine offers a wide range of effective and gentle options for the targeted treatment of dark skin discoloration.

At Tremp Plastic Surgery in Zurich, we use precise technologies such as laser therapy and medical peels to make your skin glow again – individually tailored to your skin type and needs.

Preparation

Before the actual treatment, we analyze your skin condition and clarify your expectations and any contraindications (e.g. active inflammation or pregnancy) in a personal consultation. Depending on your initial situation and skin type, we will determine the optimal treatment method for you.

Direct sunlight and visits to solariums should be avoided two weeks before the procedure. It may also be necessary to stop taking light-sensitizing medication. We will advise you individually on this.

The intervention

The treatment is performed on an outpatient basis and takes between 30 and 60 minutes, depending on the method. If necessary, an anesthetic cream can be applied. During the laser treatment or peeling, most patients only feel a slight burning or warm sensation. Immediately after the session, you will receive soothing care and detailed aftercare instructions.

Aftercare

In the days following the treatment, there may be slight redness, a feeling of tightness or flaking of the skin – this is part of the natural healing process. Make-up can usually be reapplied after 1-2 days.
Important:

  • Use consistent sun protection with a high sun protection factor.
  • Avoid the sauna, solarium and intense heat in the coming days.
  • Do not expose the treated skin area to mechanical irritation.

Reasons for removing pigment spots

Pigment spots are caused by increased production or uneven distribution of the skin pigment melanin. The triggers for this can be very different – they range from genetic factors and hormonal influences to heavy UV exposure.

The most common reasons for treatment are

  • Age spots
  • Sun damage
  • Melasma (hormonal pigmentation disorder, e.g. after pregnancy or the pill)
  • Acne-related hyperpigmentation
  • uneven, sallow complexion

Even if pigment spots are generally harmless from a medical point of view, many patients find them annoying – especially if they can no longer be completely concealed with make-up.

Methods: Having pigment spots removed in Zurich

Depending on the complexion, depth and type of pigmentation disorder, we work with you to choose the right method. The focus is on a skin-friendly, individually tailored treatment. Depending on the initial situation and the chosen method, several sessions may be necessary to achieve the desired result.

The treatment techniques mentioned here are also suitable for reducing skin redness in rosacea. In an individual consultation, we will clarify whether a combined treatment makes sense.

Laser treatment

Fractional laser therapy is one of the most effective methods for treating pigment spots. It selectively destroys the melanin-rich cells in the skin without damaging the surrounding tissue. The treated area regenerates in the following days with significantly improved skin tone.

Ideal for:

  • Age spots on the face, décolleté or hands
  • stubborn, localized pigment accumulations
  • Combination of pigment spots and vascular dilatation

Chemical peelings

A medical peel with TCA or glycolic acid can be useful for large areas of pigmentation or an uneven complexion. The top layer of skin is removed in a controlled manner, allowing new, evenly pigmented skin cells to grow back. At the same time, the overall skin structure improves.

Particularly suitable for:

  • light-induced skin aging
  • Melasma
  • diffuse hyperpigmentation

Dr Tremp is not only a doctor but also, above all, a very decent, respectful and professional person. From the very first minute, I knew that I wanted him to perform my nose operation. No other doctor had ever given me the confidence and courage to take this step. Thanks to his expert advice, I was able to make a confident decision to go ahead with the procedure.
Dr Tremp performed my nose operation two weeks ago. I am satisfied, and I will continue to receive support after the operation, which gives me even more confidence. He takes the time to discuss any concerns.
I would have Dr. Tremp operate on me again anytime. He is simply an excellent doctor who always puts the patient’s well-being first. Thank you very much for everything. As a patient, you appreciate it and it gives you peace of mind when you know that someone is there for you.
