Pico laser pigmentation treatment by Dr Vincent Tan — Allergan Medical Institute Faculty, Orchard Road belt.
Melasma is hormonal, recurrent, and notoriously stubborn. Sun spots, post-inflammatory marks, and freckles look similar but respond very differently. Treating the wrong type can make things worse.
Pico laser is the current standard of care for Asian skin pigmentation, but only when calibrated correctly. The wrong settings on Asian skin can trigger paradoxical darkening rather than lightening.
Most recurrence is one of two things: insufficient sun protection, or treating the visible pigment without addressing the underlying trigger. Lasting results need both lasers and lifestyle.
Pigmentation treatment for Asian skin requires restraint and precision. Aggressive settings can backfire — here’s what we bring to the table.
Dr Vincent trains other physicians in injection and energy device technique as faculty of the Allergan Medical Institute. The same precision applies to laser pigment work.
Asian skin (Fitzpatrick III–V) requires gentler settings and longer treatment plans than Western protocols. We calibrate for your skin — not someone else’s.
Dr Vincent brings over 15 years of clinical experience to pigmentation cases that range from straightforward sun spots to stubborn, recurrent melasma. Most have a solution — it’s about finding the right one.
Each linked treatment has its own dedicated page with full details on protocol, aftercare, and results timeline.
