The most important facts in brief

  • Pigment spots are caused by an overproduction of the skin’s own pigment melanin.
  • The most common cause of pigment spots is overexposure to the sun.
  • Pigment spots are harmless as long as they do not cause itching or other symptoms.
  • The quickest and most effective treatment to prevent or treat pigment spots is laser treatment.
  • Active ingredients such as retinol, vitamin C or niacinamide can help to reduce pigmentation spots.

What are pigment spots?

Pigment spots are brownish discolorations of the skin that can vary in size and intensity. Pigment spots occur when there is an overproduction of the skin’s own pigment melanin.

The pigment melanin is produced by so-called melanocyte cells in the body.

Causes for the development of pigment spots

There are various causes for the development of pigment spots.

One of the most common is exposure to intense sunlight. This causes the skin to produce more melanin as a natural protective mechanism. This protective mechanism helps to minimize cell damage.

Hormonal changes in the body or skin injuries can also promote the formation of pigment spots.

Pigment spots can also develop due to a genetic predisposition. Depending on the predisposition, freckles can develop at a young age or pigment spots or age spots can develop with increasing age.

Are pigment spots dangerous?

Pigment spots are generally harmless, so in most cases there is no cause for concern. If the pigment spots become itchy, it is advisable to consult a dermatologist so that the symptoms can be treated and the cause identified.

Prevention of pigment spots

Suitable active ingredients


There are various active ingredients that can help prevent or alleviate existing pigmentation spots through regular and consistent application. The use of active ingredients is particularly useful if the intensity of the pigment spots is minor. As a rule, the active ingredients take effect after six to eight weeks.

Retinol: is an active ingredient that influences melanin production and has cell-renewing and exfoliating properties.

Vitamin C: Regular use promotes cell regeneration and inhibits melanin production. Vitamin C is particularly known for its antioxidant properties and helps to neutralize free radicals, thus improving the balance of skin health.

Niacinamide: Improves the skin’s appearance and helps to combat and prevent redness. Due to its brightening properties, the application is particularly suitable for the prevention and treatment of pigmentation spots.

AHA / BHA: These are considered light chemical peels and help to remove the top layer of skin. This allows dead skin cells and cells with melanin overproduction to be removed.

Please note: The decision on the frequency of application and the choice of the right active ingredient is decisive for the effectiveness of the active ingredients. For patients with sensitive skin, active ingredients such as retinol or AHA and BHA can cause skin irritation if used intensively. It is therefore important to have the treatment with active ingredients clarified by a doctor. This is the only way to ensure that the treatment is tailored to the needs of your skin and that you achieve the best possible results.

Fast and effective treatments against pigmentation spots

Laser treatment

One of the most effective methods for treating pigment spots is laser treatment. Special lasers are used to destroy the melanin that is responsible for pigmentation. Laser treatment is particularly suitable for intense pigmentation spots and delivers direct, visible and long-term results. The treatment is painless. As a rule, there is only a slight pricking or pulling sensation.

Laser treatment procedure: A cooling gel is applied to the areas of skin to be treated. The laser beam is then directed at the pigment spots, causing them to heat up and burst open. The remaining pigment spots are removed via the lymphatic system.

Aftercare: The treated skin areas are treated with a wound cream and protected from sunlight to prevent redness and new pigmentation. Scabs may form as the wound heals. For optimum results, it is advisable to wait until the small scabs fall off on their own.

Please note: After treatment and during wound healing, avoid make-up, intensive bathing, swimming pools or saunas and make sure you protect yourself adequately from sunlight.

Costs: The size and depth of the pigment spots in the areas to be treated and the type of laser are decisive for the costs. The frequency of the necessary sessions also has an influence on the total cost. Each session can cost between 200 and 800 euros.

Light therapies

In contrast to laser treatment, which uses a single, focused wavelength of light, light therapy uses a broader spectrum of wavelengths. This enables simultaneous treatment of various skin problems such as pigmentation spots, redness or veins, while the surrounding skin is spared. IPL technology therefore offers a gentler and more versatile treatment.

Lumecca therapy

Another suitable treatment for pigmentation spots is Lumecca IPL technology. The melanin, which is responsible for the dark spots, is specifically destroyed with the help of intensive light pulses. This treatment is particularly suitable for sun-damaged skin and delivers immediately visible and lasting results. The degree of pain is minimal, often only a slight tingling sensation or warmth is felt.

Mela Wave treatment

Mela Wave light therapy uses pulses of light to break down melanin and reduce pigmentation spots. Particularly effective for age spots, freckles and sun-damaged skin, it provides quick and long-lasting results. The pain is minimal, you usually only feel a slight tingling sensation.

Pigment spot removal without laser treatment

In addition to laser treatment and various light therapies, we also offer other treatment options such as chemical or natural peels, such as the Schrammek Green Peel. Chemical peels help to remove the top layer of skin and natural peels promote skin regeneration. On request, we also recommend serums containing active ingredients that are tailored to the individual needs of our patients.
