Why is Spot Treatment Applied in Sessions?
The depth, color, type and prevalence of spots on the skin are different for each individual. For this reason, spot treatment is usually not completed in a single session. In order for the skin to respond healthily and for the healing process to progress in a controlled manner, the treatment process is planned by dividing it into sessions. In this way, the skin is not damaged and the treatment becomes more effective.
How Many Sessions Are Required?
The number of sessions in spot treatment is specific to the person. Generally, 3 to 6 sessions are sufficient. However, for more stubborn and deeply located spots, this number can go up to 8-10 sessions. In order to allow the skin to recover, a period of 2 to 4 weeks is usually left between sessions. During this period, the skin renews itself and spots lighten even more with each session.
What Factors Affect the Number of Sessions?
There are some basic factors that determine how many sessions the treatment will take to produce results:
Type of stain (melasma, sunspot, acne scar, etc.)
Depth of the stain on the skin
Skin type and skin color
A person's age and skin renewal rate
Home care and sun protection level
These factors are evaluated and a personalized session plan is made by a dermatologist or specialist physician.
What to Expect After the First Session?
After the first session, a slight lightening of the stains and a general lightening of the skin are usually noticed. However, it is important to be patient for the full result. As the sessions progress, color inequalities decrease and skin tone balances. Protecting the skin from the sun during the treatment and regularly using the products recommended by the doctor significantly speeds up the process.
Is Follow-up Care Required After Treatment?
After the stain treatment is completed, maintenance sessions can be performed at certain intervals to maintain the results obtained. Supporting the skin, especially after the summer season or during seasonal transitions, is very important in order to prevent the stains from returning.
