Pigmentation & Uneven Tone
Brown spots, sun-related discoloration, patchy tone, or areas that simply look less even can have different causes and depths. Treatment selection starts by understanding what type of color change is present.
What You May Be Noticing

A concern can have more than one underlying cause. The purpose of this page is to help you recognize the goal — not choose the machine.
Uneven tone
Areas of the face or body that do not look consistently even in color.
Sun-related change
Visible discoloration associated with cumulative sun exposure.
Dullness
Skin that looks less bright or clear even when there is not one dominant spot.
Post-inflammatory color
Color changes that remain after acne or other inflammation.
Red or vascular-looking areas
Selected visible redness or vascular concerns may require a different laser approach than brown pigment.

Common questions about pigmentation & uneven tone.
Can all brown spots be treated the same way?
No. Pigment can differ in cause, depth, distribution, and response to treatment. Assessment helps determine whether a laser approach is appropriate and which technology should be considered.
Will I need more than one session?
Some pigment concerns improve over a series of treatments, while others may need a different plan. The expected number of sessions depends on what is being treated and how the skin responds.
Can pigment come back?
New sun exposure, inflammation, and other triggers can contribute to new discoloration over time. Sun protection and appropriate skin care remain important.
Is StarWalker always the best option for pigment?
No. StarWalker is one option. SP Dynamis and specific Fotona protocols may also be considered depending on the concern and skin characteristics.
Can redness and brown pigment be treated together?
Sometimes different components require different settings or technologies. A physician assessment helps determine whether they should be addressed together or in stages.
Start with the concern.Choose the treatment after assessment.
Pigment concerns vary widely. Your physician evaluates skin type, lesion type, and history before recommending laser applications or glow protocols.
