During a personal consultation, we look together at your skin type, the nature of the pigmentation spots and your wishes. Based on this, we draw up a treatment plan that suits your situation. This may consist of a skin-improving treatment, such as a medical peel, or another technique aimed at fading pigmentation spots.
The treatment is carried out at our clinic in Haarlem, in a safe and relaxed setting. Depending on the chosen method, the treatment usually takes 20 to 30 minutes. Afterwards, you can usually go straight home.
Your skin may be temporarily somewhat sensitive, red or flaky. This is part of the recovery and disappears by itself. You often see improvement within a few days to a week. We guide you carefully through the aftercare, so that your skin can recover calmly and well.
Pigmentation spot treatment is suitable for people who are bothered by dark discolouration of the skin, such as age spots, sun spots or pigmentation spots after inflammation. These are often in visible places such as the face, neck, décolletage or hands.
During the consultation, we check whether the treatment can be applied safely and effectively in your situation too. You are eligible when:

Eyelid surgery
I am extremely satisfied with my eyelid surgery by David Jairath. Because I had already had eyelid surgery in the past, I had a good idea of what to expect. That is exactly why this experience stood out as so positive.
David Jairath is a very skilled and professional surgeon, but what really sets him apart for me is how approachable and involved he is. He takes plenty of time to explain everything clearly, listens carefully to your questions and is also easy to reach after the procedure. That gave me a lot of confidence and a sense of safety throughout the whole process.
The aftercare is also excellent. You notice that you as a patient really come first and that there is genuine attention to a good recovery. Questions are answered quickly and kindly, which is very reassuring.
I can therefore wholeheartedly recommend David Jairath to anyone considering eyelid surgery. A skilled surgeon with a pleasant, personal approach and excellent aftercare. I am very happy with my choice and the lovely result.

I am so happy with the result of my treatment with Dr Jairath. I came for a lip correction because of scar tissue, and from the first consultation I immediately had a very pleasant and trusting feeling.
Dr Jairath is a true craftsman through and through. His eye for detail, precision and professionalism immediately give you the confidence that you are in the best hands. He takes all the time you need, listens carefully to your wishes and explains everything clearly and calmly. His assistant also deserves a big compliment. She is extremely friendly, involved and caring and puts you completely at ease from the very first moment.
The procedure was carried out very skilfully and the result already looks better than I had dared to hope. The aftercare is also excellent. Everything is explained clearly and you can tell in every way that the work is done with genuine attention and love for the profession. I am enormously grateful for the professional and personal guidance. I can therefore wholeheartedly recommend Dr Jairath and his wonderful assistant to anyone looking for quality, craftsmanship, trust and personal attention.
Thank you so much for the wonderful care. I could not have wished for a better team!

Eyelid surgery
During the intake consultation with Mr David Jairath I already had a good feeling about it. He explained clearly what the procedure involved. After the intake I also received additional information by email. The procedure itself was very relaxed. He explained everything step by step during the procedure. Everything is done under local anaesthetic. We had a really nice conversation during the procedure and before you knew it the treatment was over. I received clear information on what to do after the procedure. After a week the stitches were removed. I am very satisfied with the final result.

The price of removing pigmentation spots depends on your wishes and on what we discuss during the consultation. To always give you the right information, we keep all rates up to date in one central place. That way, you can be sure you are seeing the most recent prices, including the first consultation.
On our rates page you will find the complete and current overview of all treatments.
The treatment is usually well tolerated. With some methods, you feel a brief burning or tingling sensation during or shortly after the treatment. This usually fades quickly. If a more intensive peel or treatment is chosen, we discuss in advance whether anaesthetic is needed. In any case, you do not need to worry about prolonged pain afterwards.
That depends on the chosen treatment. After a mild treatment, your skin has often settled again after a few days. With more intensive treatments, such as a deeper peel, your skin may be red and start to flake slightly. You usually see clear recovery within a week. We always give you tailored advice about what to expect and how best to care for your skin.
Many clients see improvement after just one treatment. The skin looks fresher and pigmentation spots gradually fade. Sometimes several treatments are needed for an optimal result. During the consultation, we discuss realistic expectations based on your skin type and the kind of pigment.
In principle, yes, but we recommend avoiding direct sunlight and protecting your skin well with a high SPF. After the treatment, the skin is more sensitive to UV radiation, and good sun protection prevents new pigmentation spots from forming or existing ones from returning.
Treatments for pigmentation spots are generally considered cosmetic care and are not reimbursed by basic health insurance. In some cases there may be a medical indication, for example with post-inflammatory pigmentation. If in doubt, contact your health insurer or discuss it during the consultation.
