Laser Pigment & Rosacea Treatment
Laser Pigment & Redness Correction with GentleMax Pro Plus
Advanced Treatment for Dark Spots, Sun Damage, Rosacea and Uneven Skin Tone in Lafayette and Surrounding Areas
At Elle Medical & Aesthetics in Lafayette, we offer non-invasive pigment correction using the Candela GentleMax Pro Plus, one of the most advanced dual-wavelength laser systems available. This treatment targets unwanted pigment, including sun spots, age spots, freckles, rosacea or general blotchiness, helping you achieve clearer, more even-toned skin, without harsh chemicals or downtime.
How Pigment Correction Works
The GentleMax Pro Plus delivers a precise wavelength of laser energy that is selectively absorbed by pigmented lesions in the skin. These spots absorb the energy, break apart, and are gradually eliminated by your body’s natural processes over the course of several days to weeks.
This treatment is safe for most skin types and ideal for correcting pigment on the face, neck, chest, arms, legs, and hands.
What It Treats
Laser pigment correction is highly effective for treating:
- Sun damage and sun spots
- Age spots (solar lentigines)
- Freckles
- Uneven skin tone
- Hyperpigmentation
- Post-inflammatory pigmentation (after acne or injury)
- Rosacea and facial redness
This service is ideal for clients looking to fade dark patches without the risks or irritation often caused by topical lighteners or peels.
Rosacea Treatment with GentleMax Pro Plus
Rosacea is a chronic skin condition marked by persistent redness, visible blood vessels, and sometimes acne-like bumps. It can be frustrating and difficult to manage with topical products alone.
Laser treatments help by:
- Reducing redness and flushing
- Diminishing broken capillaries
- Improving overall skin tone and texture
Most clients notice visible improvement in as few as 2 to 4 treatments.
What to Expect During Your Treatment
Your treatment begins with a detailed skin evaluation. Once cleared for laser therapy, a series of short pulses will be delivered to the targeted areas using the GentleMax Pro Plus. You may feel a warming or snapping sensation, similar to a rubber band against the skin.
Treatment sessions typically last 15–30 minutes depending on the size and number of areas treated. There is no significant downtime, though mild redness or darkening of the spots may occur temporarily.
Results and Maintenance
Clients often notice dark spots begin to fade within 7 to 14 days of treatment, with continued improvement over time. Multiple sessions may be recommended for best results depending on the depth and type of pigmentation.
To maintain your results, we may recommend:
- Medical-grade skincare
- Daily SPF (such as ZO Skin Health or EltaMD)
- Periodic maintenance sessions
Pair with Other Services for Enhanced Results
Laser pigment correction can be combined with:
- HydraFacial – for deep hydration and exfoliation
- Dermaplaning – to boost product absorption and smooth texture
- ZO Skin Brightening Protocols – to support long-term tone correction
- Microneedling or PRP – for collagen remodeling and texture refinement
Our providers will create a customized plan that fits your goals, skin type, and lifestyle.
Laser Pigment & Rosecea FAQ
Is pigment correction with GentleMax Pro Plus painful?
Most patients tolerate the treatment well. A mild snapping sensation is common, but numbing is not typically required.
How many sessions will I need?
Many patients see results in 1–2 sessions, but deeper or larger pigmented lesions may require 3–4 treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart.
Will my spots come back?
Treated pigmentation will not return, but new spots can form from sun exposure or hormonal shifts. That’s why we recommend sun protection and medical-grade skincare.
Can this be used on all skin tones?
The GentleMax Pro Plus is safe for many skin types, but not all. A consultation is required to determine if you’re a candidate based on Fitzpatrick type and treatment goals.
