Laser Pigmentation Removal
Laser Pigmentation Removal
For over 15 years, our award-winning Laser + Skin Clinics have been successfully treating all types of skin pigmentation, from freckle removal, sun spots to age spots on facial and body areas. Our Skin Pigmentation Removal is a quick, gentle and non-invasive treatment. Its specially designed laser is absorbed only by the cells containing excessive concentrations of pigment.
The Alexandrite 755nm produces a wavelength of high energy light, which is then converted into heat energy. This can target the specific area of pigmentation because the laser is absorbed only by cells containing an excessive concentration of pigmentation. This causes efficient destruction while leaving the surrounding tissue undamaged.
Skin Conditions Treated
- Freckles
- Sun Spots
- Hyperpigmentation
- Age spots (solar lentigines)
About the treatment
Skin pigmentation marks are a build up of melanocytes (cells containing melanin) under the skin typically referred to as freckles and age spots on the hands, face and body areas. Different types of laser can be used depending on the type of pigmentation. If pigmentation is in superficial lesions, then the Alexandrite 755nm Laser Pigmentation Removal treatment is effective in removing pigmentation in as little as 1-3 treatments. The treatment will also depend on the area being treated, the type of pigmentation, and level of recovery time. Laser treatment is one of the most advanced treatments for removing unwanted pigmentation on the skin such as age spots, sun spots, and freckles.
Skin Pigmentation Removal with Alexandrite 755nm is a quick, gentle and non-invasive treatment. This specially designed laser is absorbed only by the cells containing excessive concentrations of pigment. It does not affect the surrounding tissues or remove the normal skin colour. The light pulses produced by the laser can feel similar to the flicking of a rubber elastic band and for most people is not too uncomfortable. Immediate darkening is noticed after treatment. For 7-10 days the area will look like a dark scab which eventually sheds off.
For deep pigmentation such as melasma, ActiveFX Laser Resurfacing is the skin pigmentation treatment of choice which can remove up to 80% of melanin in one treatment. See ActiveFX Laser Resurfacing Section for more information. Cosmeceutical skin care with Obagi also provide a fantastic solution to skin pigmentation.
Benefits of Pigmentation Removal with Alexandrite 755nm
- Can minimise and eliminate the appearance of pigmentation
- Treats body and facial areas
- Minimal side effects and recovery time
- Make-up can be worn after treatment
*Results and benefits can vary and are different for each individual. Therefore The Laser and Skin Clinic cannot guarantee specific results.
