Pigmentation Treatment Malaysia: Price and Reviews 2020
If you are looking for pigmentation treatment and prices in Malaysia, you are in the right place.
Today, there are many aesthetic clinics and beauty centres offering pigmentation treatments in Malaysia. So, what's the big deal? Just Google 'pigmentation treatment near me' and make an appointment?
Sounds easy right? Unfortunately, it’s not that simple. Choosing the right pigmentation treatment for 'your skin' is not easy.
The first step to effective pigmentation treatment in Malaysia is an accurate diagnosis. Most of you may have been sold that a laser treatment is the best and only option for pigmentation but nothing could be further from the truth. Laser treatments may not be the best and most affordable option.
There are different types of pigmentation, including freckles, melasma, sunspots, keratosis and others. Knowing which type of pigmentation you have is important in getting the right treatment for it. Usually, your doctor will be able to determine the type of pigmentation you have, and provide treatments like laser treatments to remove the pigmentations from your skin.
Pigmentation Treatment Cost in Malaysia
As mentioned, the first step to effective pigmentation treatment in Malaysia is an accurate diagnosis. Below is the list of common pigmentation problems with their estimated treatment cost.
Melasma Treatment Malaysia
A common related enquiry we get is 'where to buy hydroquinone cream in Malaysia?'. We do know that there are many whitening products out there that can be easily purchased online. However, do take note hydroquinone can cause skin redness, hyperpigmentation, discoloration and may increase the risk of skin cancer. Therefore, we would recommend that you should use hydroquinone based products under medical supervision,

Freckles and Solar Lentigos
Freckles and solar lentigos can be treated with simple, topical medicated creams like hydroquinone.
For more persistent cases, lasers like the Q-switched Nd:Yag laser can be used. This will carry a downtime of around 1 week due to the dry scabs that form.
If you are not sure what kind of pigmentation you have, or if there are mixed or deep pigmentations, it would be advisable to see a doctor instead.
Medical grade lasers (eg Q-switched lasers) are much more effective at clearing a comprehensive range of pigmentations compared to IPLs.
It usually takes 2-3 sessions of lasers over 2 to 3 months to see good results. Cost-wise, you can expect to spend around RM1000 to RM2000.
Post Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH)
Generally, the above mentioned treatment modalities for melasma (ie. topical medical creams, chemical peels and lasers) can also be applied to PIH.
Topical creams in Malaysia generally cost from RM 100 to RM 250. Good sunscreens (SPF 30-50, PA+++) cost about RM 70 - RM 150.
The cost of laser pigmentation treatment in Malaysia ranges from RM 2000 - RM 6000 depending on the size of the area and the number of sessions required.
Seborrheic Keratosis
Pigmentation bumps are usually removed using electrocautery or through ablative laser surgery. Treatments (about 10 to 20 mins) are done on numbed skin, with about 1-2 sessions needed.
Slight downtime of 3 - 7 days is expected for the post procedural wounds to heal.
Treatment for pigmentation bumps in Malaysia costs about RM500 to RM1500.
Naevus of Ota and Naevus of Hori
Multiple sessions of depigmentation Medlite laser gives very good results.
Redness and swelling post-treatment usually lasts for a few days. 3 - 10 sessions of lasers might be needed and results can be seen after about 3 to 9 months.
The treatment cost varies depending on the severity and the number of sessions. The cost per session may vary from RM 1,000 to RM 2,500 per session.

Pigmentation Treatment Cost in Malaysia
As mentioned, the first step to effective pigmentation treatment in Malaysia is an accurate diagnosis. Below is the list of common pigmentation problems with their estimated treatment cost.
Melasma Treatment Malaysia
Treatment for melasma depends on the severity and depth. For less severe cases, medical-grade creams and sunscreen are usually sufficient.
Medical grade creams like hydroquinone, tretinoin or combinations, are very effective for treating melasma. These doctor-prescribed creams need to be monitored for side effects like redness, itching and stinging of the skin. Lightening of melasma is expected after 5 - 7 weeks of treatment.
Topical creams in Malaysia generally cost from RM 100 to RM 250. Good sunscreens (SPF 30-50, PA+++) cost about RM 70 - RM 150.
For severe melasma, lasers are often the next line of treatment. Other modalities that may be used to treat more severe melasma include chemical peels or oral tranexamic acid.
Generally, patients see good results after 3 - 8 laser sessions, with 4 - 6 sessions being the usual range. Each session is about 15 minutes long, and the full program might take 2 - 3 months.
That sounds rather long, but on the upside, lasers used to treat melasma usually do not have any downtime.
The cost of laser pigmentation treatment in Malaysia for more persistent melasma ranges from RM 2,000 - RM 6,000 depending on the size of the area and the number of sessions required.
