Laser Gum Depigmentation

Laser Gum Depigmentation The concept of removing dark pigment with a laser is based on the fact that areas with a high concentration of pigments are the most absorbable for the laser, allowing the laser to exfoliate the outer layer of the gums and destroy the pigment cells within them with the pigment they carry, leaving the gums naturally pink. Before beginning the session, the doctor may use a local anesthetic. The purpose of the anesthetic is to relieve the patient from any anxiety or discomfort, rather than to relieve pain, because the procedure is not painful, but it may cause an unpleasant sensation that varies from person to person.
