The treatment of hori’s nevus must be treated effectively through BSL Clinic’s highly experienced dermatologists to gain positive results. Laser beams penetrate the skin breaking the pigments down into small granules; then, the white blood cells will remove these pigmented granules, reducing black spots and preventing the pigments from becoming darker. The surrounding skin is not affected and will not become thinner or sensitive during pigment treatment. Smooth and bright skin is the treatment results. It takes about 6 treatments to extract the broken pigments out of the skin.
