Haut & Pigmentierung

Specialisation in the treatment of pigmentation disorders – pigmentation correction and removal with laser and IPL.

About this module

Pigmentation changes are among the most common cosmetic concerns – and at the same time one of the most demanding treatment areas. An overly aggressive approach can intensify pigmentation rather than reduce it. This module provides the necessary knowledge to differentiate between pigmentation types, select appropriate treatment parameters and safely minimise treatment risks (in particular post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation).

Learning objectives

• Differentiate between various pigmentation types (melasma, lentigo, ephelides)
• Select suitable laser types and wavelengths for pigmentation treatment
• Understand and avoid post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH)
• Communicate treatment intervals and sun protection requirements
• Recognise the limits of cosmetic treatment (referral to dermatology)
• Keep a complete treatment record
