What are pigmentation spots?
Pigment spots are medically harmless, but they are often perceived as unattractive and therefore a cosmetic problem, especially since they usually appear on the most visible areas of skin, on the hands, face and neckline. Whether congenital pigmentary disorders, inherited freckles (ephelids) or pigmentary disorders acquired over the years such as age spots (Lentigo senilis) or sun spots (Lentigo solaris) – all are caused by a disturbance of the even pigment production. The melanocytes responsible for the formation of the skin pigment melanin produce too much melanin, and these cause the dark spots. Dark pigmentation of the skin can also remain as a result of injuries to the skin, such as an insect bite or diseases like acne or shingles. Laser treatment gently dissolves the pigment accumulations and stimulates the formation of new healthy skin.
What happens when removing pigment spots with laser?
The laser activates the natural regeneration mechanisms of the skin and is considered the most modern method for gentle skin renewal and skin tightening. During the treatment with the high-frequency laser beam, the upper layers of skin are ablated and thus unwanted pigment spots are removed without damaging surrounding tissue. The thermal effect of the laser stimulates the regeneration of the skin. At the same time, the laser beam activates the production of collagen, resulting in a permanent tightening of the tissue. The treatment is particularly suitable for the removal of pigmentation or so-called age and sun spots, the pigmentation is gently removed and new skin is formed. A laser lift with the fractional carbon dioxide laser (CO2 laser) causes comprehensive skin renewal, smoothes and tightens the skin, thus ensuring an overall clearer skin appearance.
What the treatment is suitable for
The treatment is suitable for smoothing medium-deep wrinkles and scars (e.g. acne scars), but also for removing pigmentation disorders (e.g. age spots, sun spots, melasma). The reduction of small wrinkles and the refinement of large-pored areas (large-pored skin) improves the entire skin structure, resulting in an overall fresher appearance.
Already after the first treatment, the skin appearance improves visibly: pigmentation spots, small wrinkles and superficial scars disappear. The laser treatment is almost painless and there is almost no downtime.
Let our medical specialists inform you in detail about the treatment possibilities with the CO2 laser.
What else can be treated with the CO2 laser?
- Facial treatment for skin rejuvenation and skin tightening
- Skin rejuvenation on the neck / neckline / hands
- Wrinkle treatment perioral (around the mouth), so-called smoker’s wrinkles, laughter lines
- Wrinkle treatment periorbital (at the eyes): eyelid lift, lower eyelid lift, upper eyelid lift, crow’s feet
- Acne scars and scar treatment
- Stretch marks/pregnancy marks
- Removal of xanthelasma

Removing pigmentation spots with the CO2 laser: the procedure
The treatment with the CO2 laser is virtually painless. An anaesthetic cream can be applied beforehand, and during the treatment cold air cools the skin.
Anamnesis Questionnaire
The treatment procedure for the removal of pigment spots with CO2 laser in Vienna at Dermacare is explained in detail below. A medical history questionnaire is completed before each initial treatment. This allows possible risks to be identified and prevented.
Consultation
This is followed by a detailed preliminary discussion with a dermatologist. Prepare for the consultation and talk openly about your wishes and expectations.
Digital photo / desinfection / anesthesia
Before each treatment a digital photo of your skin is taken to document your treatment progress in detail. The skin is disinfected and, if necessary, numbed with an anaesthetic cream.
Laser treatment
The skin area is then treated with the special CO2 laser. To make the treatment more pleasant, the skin is cooled with cold air.
Cooling of the lasered area
After the treatment, a cool pack is placed on the treated area for 10 minutes.
Anti-inflammatory cream
An antiseptic cream is applied to prevent inflammation.
Aftercare
The immediate reaction of the skin to the treatment is often slight redness and swelling, which disappears by itself. A thin crust then forms in the lasered region. Ointments and creams are available to care for the crust to support the healing process of the skin.
Your treating doctors will provide you with comprehensive information on the follow-up treatment and care of the affected area and will be available to answer your questions at any time.
After the treatment, UV radiation should be avoided for several weeks, as it can promote unwanted pigmentation.
After about 4-6 weeks a follow-up treatment can be carried out if necessary.

Frequently asked questions about pigment spot removal
Treatment with the fractional laser, based on the skin's natural capacity for regeneration, is regarded as one of the most modern methods of skin renewal and skin tightening.
The laser beam works on the skin at individual points, with the energy of the laser split into a thousand tiny dots; while the upper layer of skin is gently removed, the laser also penetrates into deeper layers of skin. The thermal effect of the laser promotes the formation of new collagen fibres and stimulates skin renewal, which refines the skin structure; pigment spots disappear, and scars and fine lines are visibly reduced, depending on severity, after the very first application.
Whether congenital pigmentation disorders, which include freckles (ephelides), or pigmentation disorders acquired over the years such as age spots (lentigo senilis) or sun spots (lentigo solaris), laser treatment gently dissolves the accumulations of pigment and stimulates the formation of new, healthy skin. In treatment with the CO2 laser, pigment spots on the face, neck, hands and décolleté are gently removed.
The spots arise from a disturbance of even pigment production. The melanocytes responsible for producing the skin pigment melanin produce too much melanin, which causes the dark spots. Dark pigmentation of the skin can also remain as a result of skin injuries, for example from an insect bite, or of conditions such as acne or shingles.
Through the thermal power of the laser, the upper layer of skin is removed, dissolving the hyperpigmentation while at the same time stimulating the formation of new skin. Because the skin is hit by the laser at individual points, parts of the tissue remain undamaged, which has a positive effect on the duration of the healing process, which takes 3–5 days on average. The collagen production stimulated by the laser in the lower layers of skin, which is responsible for the so-called lifting effect, takes several months, so the full positive effect of laser treatment can be assessed about 6 months after treatment.
The treatment result and healing time depend on individual factors. The specialist doctors at Dermacare will be happy to advise you comprehensively on treatment options with the CO2 laser for pigment spots at the Dermacare institute.
Age spots are caused mainly by UV radiation and usually appear from middle age onwards – especially on the hands, face and décolleté. Sun spots are also UV-related, but often appear earlier. All of them belong to the group of pigment spots and can be treated very well with the CO2 laser.
Fractional laser treatment is carried out as an outpatient procedure. Treatment takes place under local anaesthetic. General anaesthesia is not necessary. Before treatment, an anaesthetic cream is applied to the area to be treated and works for up to 60 minutes. After the application time, the cream is removed from the skin, and the pain sensitivity of the skin area to be treated is markedly reduced. For safety reasons, the doctor and the patient wear protective goggles throughout the laser treatment.
The treatment takes between 15 and 45 minutes, depending on the size of the area to be treated. Patients are treated lying down. The fractional, pinpoint laser treatment can cause a slight burning sensation of the skin. The laser is lifted off repeatedly during treatment, and the treating doctor watches the reaction to the stimulus from the laser closely.
If you would like to tell us something during the treatment, you can do so at any time. However, we ask that you keep the protective goggles on throughout the treatment. During laser treatment a smell reminiscent of burnt hair may develop. This is normal and harmless.
After treatment the skin may feel like sunburn for a few hours. The redness subsides after one to 5 days, and slight swelling may occur for one to two days. As soon as new skin replaces the dead tissue, flaking occurs, which indicates that the healing process is beginning and new skin substance is being formed. Depending on the intensity setting of the laser, the skin's regeneration time, and therefore also the healing process, varies. During this time we recommend treating the area with an ointment that supports the healing process and at the same time has a soothing effect.
Depending on the intensity of the treatment and the patient's individual circumstances, the reactions mentioned above vary from person to person. Downtime is 3 to 7 days, depending on treatment intensity.
The formation of new collagen and elastic fibres takes several weeks, however, so the improvement in the skin's appearance can only be assessed after about 4–8 weeks. An optimal result, which lasts several years, is achieved with at least three treatments at intervals of four to six weeks, although individual lifestyle (sun, smoking, etc.) always plays a decisive role.
Noticeable results appear after the very first treatment. Experience shows that three to five treatments are needed to reach the desired treatment result. The treatments take place at intervals of four to six weeks.
After laser treatment the skin is tightened and refined, and an even complexion creates a fresh overall impression.
Pigmentation disorders and spots that appear with the natural ageing process of the skin can often be successfully removed after a single treatment with the CO2 laser. Smaller fine lines and scars are also visibly reduced after one treatment. To smooth wrinkles permanently, several sessions are usually needed. The surface of deeper scars can be smoothed with the CO2 laser so that they are less visible.
Depending on skin condition, three to five treatments at intervals of four to six weeks are recommended for an optimal result.
In a personal consultation we can give you a more precise assessment of the individual treatment result you can expect.
Treatment with the CO2 laser is almost painless. A feeling of warmth, up to a burning sensation of the skin, is possible during laser treatment. A burning or sore feeling, like sunburn, may also be felt for several hours after treatment. Itching often occurs during the healing process; anti-inflammatory creams and ointments provide relief.
