Introduction
Generally speaking, there is no such thing as "which type of pigmentation is easiest to remove." The appropriate treatment method should be chosen based on the specific type of pigmentation, and results may vary from person to person. Common types of pigmentation include melasma, freckles, dark spots, café-au-lait spots, and pityriasis versicolor. These can be improved through treatments such as hyaluronic acid injections, gold microneedling, photorejuvenation (IPL), picosecond lasers, and fractional lasers.
