Lighten pigmentation and boost your confidence
Sun spots, liver spots, freckles and other unwanted pigmentation are often associated with skin ageing and over exposure to the sun or sunbeds. It can affect your confidence and leave you looking for a safe and effective solution to lighten the unwanted pigmentation.
Age spots generally pose no health risk, but can be unsightly and create a patchy and less youthful appearance. From the age of around 40, your skin is less able to regenerate from sun exposure, causing age spots to appear which can affect your confidence and self esteem. We can safely and successfully use laser IPL treatment to reduce or remove many concerns, including:
We can lighten pigmentation in as little as one to three treatment sessions with laser or IPL (Intense Pulse Light) Therapy. The carefully controlled light targets areas of excess pigment to safely break down the excess melanin and reduce the appearance of the age spots or freckles.
In the first few days following your treatment, your sun spots and freckles will darken before the excess melanin naturally sheds. The result is a fresher and more youthful looking appearance.
Pigmentation removal using laser therapy is mildly uncomfortable but shouldn’t be painful. We discuss the procedure in detail with you at your consultation and help you feel relaxed and ready before we begin.
After treatment, you will feel a warm and tingling sensation, similar to sunburn, but this is temporary. Your skin may be slightly red and the pigment marks will darken and may appear more obvious at first, before they begin to fade away.
The number of treatments needed varies depending on your individual skin and the size of the pigment marks. Typically, between 3-6 sessions are needed. We will give you a more detailed idea of timescales for your treatment after a full consultation and patch test.
