Pigment spots are caused by excessive melanin production in certain areas of the skin. Age spots, sun spots, and melasma are among the most common forms of pigment spots. These can be caused by UV radiation, hormonal changes, or the natural aging process.
Spider veins, medically known as telangiectasia, are dilated small blood vessels that shine through the skin. They often appear on the face or décolleté. Genetic predisposition, sun exposure, and certain lifestyle habits can contribute to their development.
Scars are caused by the natural wound healing process after injuries, operations, or skin diseases such as acne. Different types of scars can develop depending on the depth and nature of the original injury.
Laser treatment is based on the principle of selective photothermolysis. The laser device emits light energy at specific wavelengths, which is absorbed by the target structures. When removing pigment spots, the melanin in the pigmented cells is heated and destroyed.
For the treatment of spider veins, we use special wavelengths that specifically target the hemoglobin in the blood vessels. The heat generated causes the dilated vessels to collapse, making them no longer visible. The surrounding tissue remains largely intact.
In the case of scars, laser treatment stimulates Collagen production in the skin. This promotes natural skin renewal and can significantly improve the appearance of scars. Different laser procedures are used depending on the type of scar.
Our wide range of laser systems allows for precise dosing of the laser energy to suit the specific problem area. Dr. Lucija Grittern adapts the treatment parameters individually to your skin type and the changes to be treated. These tailor-made treatment concepts ensure optimal results with minimal stress on your skin.
The removal of pigment spots usually takes place over several sessions, as not all pigments can be removed at the same time. The treatment of spider veins and scars also often requires several appointments to achieve the desired result.
The removal of pigment spots, spider veins, and scars using lasers is a medical procedure that should only be performed by qualified doctors. In Germany, only doctors with the appropriate training and experience are allowed to perform laser treatments on the skin.
Dr. Lucija Grittern has extensive training in aesthetic dermatology and laser medicine. Her many years of experience and continuous professional development ensure the highest standards of treatment.
Specialist medical expertise is particularly important, as skin changes must be correctly diagnosed before any treatment can be carried out. Not all pigment spots are suitable for Laser treatment, and some skin changes require dermatological clarification first.
Our team at Skinthetics attaches great importance to providing detailed consultation and information before each treatment. We will inform you comprehensively about the possible risks and side effects of laser treatment. This transparency and professional competence distinguishes a reputable medical practice from commercial providers.
Before each Laser treatment, Dr. Lucija Grittern performs a thorough skin analysis. This involves assessing the type, size, and depth of the skin changes to be treated. This examination is crucial for selecting the appropriate laser procedure and the optimal treatment parameters.
During our detailed consultation, we will explain the planned treatment procedure and discuss your expectations. Together, we will develop an individual treatment concept tailored to your specific needs.
A few weeks before the treatment, you should avoid intense sun exposure and refrain from using tanning cosmetics. Certain medications or cosmetic products may need to be discontinued. Our team will provide you with detailed information about all preparatory measures.
On the day of treatment, we thoroughly clean the areas of skin to be treated and apply a topical anesthetic if necessary.
The actual Laser treatment begins with you and our treatment team putting on protective goggles. Dr. Lucija Grittern first performs a test pulse to check the skin's reaction and optimize the settings.
When removing pigment spots, the affected skin areas are systematically treated with the laser. You will feel a slight tingling or warming sensation. Most patients find the treatment to be relatively painless. We cool the skin during the laser pulses to increase comfort.
For the treatment of spider veins, we use special vascular lasers that specifically target the dilated blood vessels. The treatment is very precise, so that only the unsightly spider veins are treated, while the surrounding skin is spared.
In scar treatment, the entire scar area is treated evenly with the laser. This stimulates collagen formation and can improve the scar tissue in the long term. Depending on the size of the scar, the treatment can take between 15 and 45 minutes.
Immediately after laser treatment, the skin may be reddened or slightly swollen. This is a normal reaction that usually subsides within a few hours. We apply cooling and soothing care products to the treated areas.
Consistent sun protection is particularly important in the first few days after treatment. UV radiation could lead to pigmentation changes and impair the treatment results. We recommend using sunscreen with a high sun protection factor.
Skin care after laser treatment should be particularly gentle. We will provide you with special care products that support regeneration. Mechanical irritation or exfoliation should be avoided in the first few weeks.
When pigment spots are removed, they may initially become darker before flaking off after about a week. This process is completely normal and indicates that the treatment has been successful. It is important that you do not scratch or mechanically remove the flaking skin.

The success of treatment varies depending on the type and severity of the skin changes. Superficial pigment spots can usually be removed very easily, while deeper pigmentation may require several sessions. Spider veins generally respond very well to Laser treatment. Significant improvements can be achieved with scars, but complete removal is not always possible.
In principle, all skin types can be treated, but darker skin types require special care and adjusted treatment parameters. Dr. Lucija Grittern performs a precise skin type determination before each treatment and selects the appropriate laser procedure. Treatment may not be possible temporarily for very dark skin or a fresh tan.
The number of treatments required depends on various factors.
Pigment spots usually require 2-4 sessions, while spider veins can often be significantly improved after just 1-3 treatments.
Scar treatments often require 4-6 or more sessions. The interval between individual treatments is usually 4-6 weeks.
Most patients describe the sensation during treatment as a slight tingling or brief burning sensation. Modern laser devices have integrated cooling systems that increase comfort during treatment. The treatment is usually painless and is well tolerated by most patients.
Most patients find the treatment to be generally painless. The sensation of pain varies from person to person and depends on the area of the body being treated. If necessary, we can apply a topical anesthetic cream to increase comfort. Many patients report little to no pain during treatment.
Immediately after laser treatment, the skin may be reddened and slightly swollen. This reaction is normal and usually subsides within a few hours. When pigment spots are removed, they may initially appear darker before flaking off after about a week. The final result will be visible after healing.
After treatment, consistent sun protection is essential. Use sunscreen with a high sun protection factor every day and avoid direct sunlight. Skin care should be gentle and non-irritating. Mechanical stress such as peels or massages should be avoided at first. Exercise is usually possible again after 2-3 days.
The cost of laser treatment depends on the type and extent of the skin changes to be treated. At our practice, we will provide you with transparent information about all costs incurred after the examination. Treatment costs from €250 per session. Private health insurance companies may cover some of the costs.
