Our lasers can help remove darker patches of skin, known as hyperpigmentation. When our body produces too much pigment, usually after the skin is damaged by the sun, acne or aging, it can produce brown or red patches, which are often permanent, unless treated.

The treatment involves passing an intense laser light over the affected area, which removes the pigment on the surface of the skin via the body’s lymphatic system. This treatment is not usually painful but you may feel a tingling or prickling sensation when the laser is applied. No downtime is required so you are free to continue your day as normal after each session. You will need to avoid exposing the area to the sun for at least 24 hours.

It usually takes 4-6 weeks for your body to process the pigment and the hyperpigmentation to fade. The treatment can be repeated to gain the best results.
