Chrome Pigment Laser in Raleigh, NC
Advanced Pigment Correction for Hyperpigmentation + Melasma
If you’re dealing with dark spots, sun damage, post-acne marks, or melasma, you already know how stubborn pigment can be. Topicals can help, but many pigment concerns are deeper, layered, and triggered by inflammation, which is why results often require a more precise approach.
At Blossüm Aesthetics in Raleigh, NC, we use the Chrome laser station (Quanta System) with pigment-focused settings to target unwanted melanin and help restore a clearer, more even-looking complexion—while protecting the overall health of your skin.
What Is the Chrome “Quantum” Laser Station?
During your consultation, we’ll determine what kind of pigment you have (and how deep it sits), then match the plan accordingly. Pigment-focused laser treatment may be recommended for:
-
Hyperpigmentation (uneven tone, dark patches)
-
Sun spots / age spots / lentigines
-
Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) (often after acne or irritation)
-
Freckles
-
Melasma (select cases; requires careful planning and maintenance)
Important: Pigmented lesions should be medically evaluated before laser treatment to ensure the right diagnosis and safest plan.
Melasma vs. Hyperpigmentation
Why the “Right Laser” Isn’t Enough Without the Right Strategy Melasma is often hormonally influenced and can be triggered by heat, inflammation, and sun exposure. Hyperpigmentation/PIH is commonly triggered by inflammation (like acne) and UV exposure. That’s why pigment correction shouldn’t be “one treatment and done.” At Blossüm, we focus on: Identifying your pigment type (melasma vs PIH vs sun spots) Choosing conservative settings when needed Building a prevention plan (especially for melasma) Pairing laser with medical-grade skincare for better long-term control
How Chrome Pigment Laser Works
Chrome’s pigment approach uses laser energy to target excess melanin in the skin. The pigment breaks into smaller fragments that your body can gradually clear over time—helping spots fade and tone look more even.
Because the Chrome platform includes multiple wavelengths (commonly referenced as 1064/532 nm for Q-switched Nd:YAG), treatments can be customized based on the pigment concern and skin type.
What to Expect at Your Appointment
A typical pigment-laser visit includes:
Consultation + pigment assessment
(history, triggers, skincare routine, sun exposure)
Photos + treatment mapping (when appropriate)
Laser treatment (targeted pulses over pigmented areas)
Aftercare plan (sun protection + skincare guidance)
Treatment time: Often 15–30 minutes depending on the area treated.
Downtime + Healing (What’s Normal)
Downtime is usually minimal, but pigment correction is a process.
You may experience:
-
Mild redness or warmth
-
Temporary darkening of pigment before it lightens
-
Light flaking in the treated areas
-
Sun protection is non-negotiable after pigment treatments—especially for melasma-prone skin—because UV exposure can reverse progress quickly.

Chrome Pigment Laser FAQs
BLOSSUM Aesthetics Co.
Is this laser safe for melasma?
Melasma requires a careful, customized plan. Some patients are candidates, but results depend on melasma type, triggers, and strict prevention. A consultation is required.
What’s the difference between treating sun spots and melasma?
Sun spots are often more localized and may respond faster. Melasma is typically more diffuse and trigger-prone, so long-term management matters.
Will my spots come back?
Pigment can recur if triggers remain (UV exposure, heat, inflammation, hormones). That’s why we pair treatment with prevention and skincare.
Do I need to stop retinol or exfoliants before treatment?
Often, yes—at least temporarily. We’ll provide a prep plan based on your routine.
Can you treat pigmented lesions?
Chrome is indicated for benign pigmented lesions, but lesions should be evaluated before treatment to ensure they’re appropriate for laser.
