Pigmentation in the UAE sun: why the device is only half the story
Strong sun all year means dark spots and uneven tone are common here — and they come back without the right plan.
Know the type first
Sun spots, marks after breakouts and melasma sit at different depths and behave differently. Melasma in particular needs a gentle, long-term approach.
Settings matched to your skin
PICO laser delivers very short pulses that break up pigment. Dr. Momena adapts the settings to each skin type, which matters for the range of skin tones seen in the UAE.
Protection keeps results
Daily broad-spectrum sunscreen and a simple home routine are part of the treatment, not an extra. Pigmentation usually improves gradually over a course of sessions.
Right diagnosis, right settings, daily protection — in that order.
General education only — not a diagnosis. Individual results vary; your suitability is confirmed at consultation.
