For laser removal of pigmented spots, you can visit the dermatology, plastic and cosmetic surgery, laser beauty, or medical aesthetics departments.
1. Dermatology: The dermatology department specializes in the research, diagnosis, and treatment of various skin-related issues, including pigmented spots. In the dermatology department, patients can receive comprehensive skin examinations. Doctors will make an initial assessment based on skin lesions and medical history, further confirming the diagnosis through specialized equipment, and then formulate an appropriate treatment plan.
2. Plastic and Cosmetic Surgery: The plastic and cosmetic surgery department focuses on improving appearance through surgical or non-surgical methods, including the removal of pigmented spots. Doctors in this department have extensive experience and professional techniques, enabling them to provide personalized treatment plans for patients.
