What is Pigmentation & Sun Damage?

Pigmentation occurs when excess melanin—the pigment responsible for skin colour—forms clusters that show up as dark patches, freckles, or sunspots. Years of sun exposure accelerate this process, leaving behind visible signs of damage and uneven skin tone.

Common Types of Pigmentation

• Freckles – Small brown specks, usually more noticeable after excessive sun exposure.

• Age Spots / Sun Spots – Flat, dark patches that appear on the face, hands, and upper body over time.

• Melasma & Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH) – Larger, symmetrical patches triggered by hormones, pregnancy, or skin injury.

What Causes Pigmentation?

• UV Exposure – The number one cause of most pigment concerns.

• Hormonal Changes – Triggers conditions like melasma.

• Ageing Process – Skin’s ability to regulate melanin declines with time.

• Lifestyle & Genetics – Frequent tanning, family history, and certain medications.

Why Choose Laser Pigmentation Removal?

Unlike creams or peels that only target the surface, laser pigment removal goes deeper to break up pigment particles at the root, delivering faster, longer-lasting results.

Benefits of Laser Treatment

• Directly targets melanin for visible results

• Suitable for superficial and deep pigmentation

• Minimal downtime—most people resume normal activities straight after

• Long-lasting improvements when combined with sun care

Laser vs Creams & Peels

• Creams: Slow results, often only fade surface pigmentation.

• Chemical Peels: Can help but mainly treat the upper skin layers; risk of irritation.

• Laser Treatments: Deeper, precise, and effective for freckles, age spots, and stubborn pigmentation.

How Does Laser Pigmentation Removal Work?

The Science Behind Laser Treatment

Laser light energy is directed at pigmented cells without harming surrounding skin tissue. The pigment absorbs the laser energy, breaks into tiny particles, and is naturally removed by your body.

Immediate effects may include temporary darkening followed by gradual fading over 1–2 weeks.

Is It Safe?

Yes. Treatments use FDA-approved medical lasers suitable for all Fitzpatrick skin types, from lighter to darker skin tones. Side effects are minimal and temporary—mild redness, tingling, or lightening of treated areas.

Laser vs Other Pigmentation Treatments

Creams & Serums

Surface-level and slow to show results—may fade pigmentation but rarely clear it.

Chemical Peels

Effective for superficial pigmentation, but results are temporary and may require downtime.

IPL vs Laser

• IPL: Broad light spectrum, less precise, requires more sessions

• Laser Pigmentation Treatment: Targeted, effective for deeper pigmentation, and offers longer-lasting outcomes
