What Is Hyperpigmentation?
Hyperpigmentation is a skin condition marked by the presence of darker patches. The extent of this pigmentation can range from small, localized areas to more expansive regions, and in some cases, even encompass the entire body. While increased pigmentation is generally harmless, it could potentially signal an underlying medical concern.
Causes
- Certain medications, which may contribute to hyperpigmentation, as well as chemotherapy drugs that can cause this side effect.
- Hormonal changes during pregnancy, which may influence melanin production in some women.
- Addison’s disease, a rare endocrine disorder that can lead to prominent hyperpigmentation in sun-exposed and friction-prone areas, such as the face, neck, hands, elbows, and knees.
- Elevated hormone levels, which can result in increased melanin synthesis.
- Excessive sun exposure, which may trigger a rise in melanin production.

Why We Use the Motus AY for Hyperpigmentation Reduction
The Motus AY laser is a highly effective solution for hyperpigmentation reduction, leveraging cutting-edge Alexandrite laser technology coupled with a unique sapphire cooling system. This advanced procedure is both safe and painless, accommodating various skin tones and types, including tanned skin, making it a versatile treatment option.
The Motus AY laser is the forefront of hyperpigmentation reduction technology, offering the advantage of minimal downtime and promoting beautiful, healthy-looking skin. The treatment employs light energy pulses to gently heat the skin’s surface, effectively addressing common signs of sun damage and aging, such as acne, redness, pigmentation, and wrinkles. This results in a more radiant and rejuvenated complexion, highlighting the Motus AY laser as a leading choice for hyperpigmentation reduction.
The technology
The Motus AY laser is exceptionally adept at addressing benign pigmented lesions. Its distinctive Moveo PL in-motion technology guarantees a 100% energy transmission, facilitating pigmentation reduction without causing discomfort or side effects such as striping. Traditional delivery methods are also available to provide more targeted treatments, ensuring optimal results catered to each individual’s needs.
Moveo technology, which can be used for a variety of skin procedures, including laser hair removal and diffusing vascular lesions, applies a precise and safe amount of energy to the targeted tissue with minimal discomfort, thanks to its cooled sapphire tip. Its continuous movements over a small area allow treatments that are both effective and gentle on surrounding skin.
The YAG laser in the Motus AY system is a long-pulsed Nd:YAG laser, which is specifically designed for treating deeper skin layers and can be effective for various skin types. The use of both Alexandrite and YAG lasers in the Motus AY Laser system allows for more comprehensive and versatile treatment options, as well as the ability to treat all skin tones.

Before and Afters
What to Expect From Your Motus AY Treatment
Before the treatment
Upon arriving for your Motus AY consultation, our team of skilled professionals will assess your skin to identify areas requiring attention. We will then devise a customized treatment plan, incorporating multiple laser therapy sessions to address your hyperpigmentation.
Treatment
The duration of each session is contingent upon the size of the area being treated, typically lasting approximately 30 minutes. Safety shields or goggles must be worn to safeguard your eyes during the laser treatment.
Throughout the procedure, you may experience slight pulsations and mild discomfort, akin to sunburn symptoms such as skin redness and swelling.
Post-Treatment Care
Following
hyperpigmentation treatment, you may encounter sensations of warmth, mild swelling, and minor flaking on the skin’s surface within 24-48 hours. These effects should fully dissipate within four days, although some residual redness might persist. Our team will provide you with comprehensive instructions regarding your post-treatment skincare regimen to ensure proper care and recovery.
Results
The results of the treatment for individuals with hyperpigmentation due to age, sun damage, or some other reason, can be quite promising.
Within the first month, hyperpigmentation is expected to break up, leading to a significantly improved complexion, with reduced pigmentation and a more even skin tone.
How much does the treatment cost?
The American Society of Plastic Surgeons suggest that the average cost nationally is around $400 – however this can vary depending on factors such as geographic location, expertise level and treated area size.
