Unwanted Pigmentation

Laser treatment can be used for certain benign pigmentation concerns following careful assessment. Not all pigmentation is suitable for laser treatment, and clinical judgement is essential to ensure appropriate management and referral where required.

Treatment Process

Treatment may include either Laser or IPL depending on best option for your pigment type but typically involves a series of treatments spaced several weeks apart.

Treatment intervals allow the skin to recover and the body to clear fragmented pigment between sessions.

Clear aftercare guidance is provided following each treatment, which include the use of good skincare and preventative SPF

Experience & Approach

With over 25 years’ experience in laser practice, treatment is delivered with a careful, assessment-led approach.

Consultation & Assessment

All treatments begin with an individual consultation and skin assessment.

This allows time to review your concerns, assess suitability for laser treatment, and discuss realistic expectations.

Factors considered may include skin type, medical history, medications, and the nature of the

condition being treated.

If laser treatment is not appropriate, alternative options or referral may be recommended.

Appointments are arranged directly.

**Skin checks will be required prior to commencement of treatment to rule out any skin cancers or pre-cancerous lesions
