About gum depigmentation

Gingival depigmentation removes or reduces melanin pigmentation from gum tissue, producing a uniformly pink, aesthetically harmonious gingival appearance. Pigmentation is a natural and common variation in individuals with higher melanin levels, and the procedure is elective and cosmetically motivated.

The Fotona Er:YAG laser provides a precise, controlled, and virtually bloodless approach to gingival depigmentation. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, with fast tissue healing and minimal post-operative discomfort. Results are typically long-lasting, though some degree of repigmentation may occur over time depending on individual melanocyte activity.
