Pico Laser Brightening Pigmentation-Sunspots/Age spots
Sunspots/Age spots (Lentigines)
Solar lentigo is a harmless patch of darkened skin. It results from exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation, solar lentigos or lentigines are very common, especially in people over the age of 40 years.
It occurs in light and dark skin but tend to be more numerous in fair-skinned individuals.
Age spots are small, flat dark areas on the skin. They vary in size and usually appear on areas exposed to the sun, such as the face, hands, shoulders and arms.
Age spots signs:
- Are flat, oval areas of increased pigmentation.
- Are usually tan to dark brown.
- Occur on skin that has had the most sun exposure over the years, such as the backs of hands, tops of feet, face, shoulders, and upper back.
- Range from freckle size to about 1/2 inch (13 millimeters) across.
- Can group together, making them more noticeable.

Does Laser Pigmentation Treatment work on all skin types? It works on all skin tones including ethnic skin. Our clinic has the most advanced two laser machines: Candela and Picocare 450 with different wavelengths for different pigmentation and skin tones.
How many treatments will I need? Depending on the type of pigmentation being treated, clients will need between 3-6 treatments. The effectiveness of the treatment will be determined by the type, colour and depth of the pigmentation along with the condition of the skin. Complete clearing of the affected area may not be possible and will depend upon the type, area and colour of the lesion.
Does laser pigmentation removal hurt? The heat from the laser is concentrated at a superficial level so it is likely that the client will experience some discomfort while the treatment is being performed. The treated area can feel like sunburn for up to 48 hours afterwards, however cold packs and cooling gel should be used to reduce redness and inflammation
How will the skin react? Following the treatment, the pigmentation will initially appear darker and can continue to deepen in colour for 48 hours post treatment. After this time the pigmentation will then begin to crust and gradually flake away. This process can take up to 14 days depending on the condition of the skin prior to treatment.
How does it work? Pico lasers are by far the best laser for ageing and pigmentation concerns. Pico lasers help by:
- Reducing brown pigment in both the upper & lower levels of the skin. This means fast resolution of dark spots.
- Stimulation of collagen production for fine lines and wrinkles.

How does Clinical Peel work? Chemical peels are used to strip skin layers through a controlled and limited injury to a desired depth that will result in reduction of sun damage, pigmentation, acne lesions, fine lines and wrinkles and superficial depressed scars.
Depth of the peel and results depend on the strength of agents used. All Peels should be combined with LED light therapy and cosmeceutical skincare products for optimal results.
