Skin Rejuvenation

What is pigmentation?

Pigmentation occurs when excess melanin, the natural pigment that gives our skin its colour, collects in certain areas of the skin.

This can appear as:

• Age spots
• Sun spots
• Freckles
• Solar lentigines
• Flat pigmented lesions
• Uneven patches of pigmentation

While these changes are usually harmless, many people choose treatment to restore a more even skin tone and improve their confidence.

How does laser pigmentation removal work?

Our advanced laser delivers carefully controlled pulses of light that are absorbed by the excess pigment in the skin.

The laser breaks the pigment into tiny particles, which are then naturally cleared away by your body’s immune system over the following weeks.

The surrounding skin is left largely unaffected, allowing targeted treatment while supporting healthy healing.

As your skin naturally renews itself, the treated pigmentation gradually fades, leaving your complexion looking brighter and more even.

What can be treated?

Laser pigmentation removal may be suitable for treating:

• Age spots
• Sun spots
• Freckles
• Flat pigmented lesions
• Uneven pigmentation
• Pigmentation caused by previous acne or inflammation (where appropriate)
• Sun-damaged skin

During your consultation, we’ll assess your skin and discuss whether laser treatment is the most suitable option for your concerns.

How many treatments will I need?

The number of treatments depends on the type, depth and size of the pigmentation being treated.

Some superficial pigmentation may respond well after one or two sessions, while deeper or more stubborn pigmentation may require additional treatments.

Every person’s skin is different, and we’ll provide an honest recommendation based on your individual skin and desired outcome.

What should I expect after the treatment?

Immediately after treatment, the pigmentation may appear:

• Darker than before
• Slightly red
• Mildly swollen

This is a normal part of the healing process.

Over the following 7-14 days, the treated pigmentation often darkens before gradually flaking away or fading as your skin naturally heals.

It’s important not to pick or scratch the treated area, as this can affect healing and increase the risk of unwanted skin changes.

We’ll provide detailed aftercare advice to help you achieve the best possible results.

Is the treatment painful?

Most clients describe the treatment as quick and very manageable.

You may feel:

• A warm snapping sensation
• Mild stinging
• Brief heat during each laser pulse

Treatments are usually completed within a few minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated.

Is there any downtime?

Downtime is minimal.

You may experience:

• Mild redness
• Slight swelling
• Temporary darkening of the treated pigmentation

Most people return to work and normal daily activities straight after treatment.

However, protecting your skin from the sun is essential whilst it heals. Daily use of a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher is recommended, and avoiding excessive sun exposure before and after treatment will help achieve the best possible results.
