Our Laser Pigmentation Removal treatment works by delivering targeted energy to pigmented lesions, safely breaking the pigment into tiny particles. These fragments rise to the surface, where they naturally flake away as part of the skin’s renewal process. The treated pigment often darkens initially and forms a light crust, which sheds over several days, leaving your skin noticeably clearer.
With a series of treatments, your skin can appear fresher, smoother and more even, with a naturally rejuvenated and radiant complexion.
A thorough consultation and comprehensive skin analysis are carried out to determine your suitability for treatment and to create a personalised plan tailored to your skin’s needs. To achieve the best results and minimise the risk of irritation, specific preparation guidelines will be recommended prior to your procedure.
For optimal outcomes, we suggest a customised program that combines Laser Pigmentation Removal with a professionally guided skincare routine. Together, this integrated approach helps restore clarity, refine texture, and maintain long-term skin health for a clearer, more radiant complexion.

Frequently Asked Questions
Most clients notice an improvement after their first treatment. The treated pigmentation will gradually fade over time, and by the end of your treatment course, you can expect a reduction in the appearance of pigmentation.
Typically, 3-6 treatments are recommended, spaced 4 weeks apart, to achieve optimal results. The exact number will depend on the type and depth of your pigmentation. Your Skin Therapist will create a customised treatment plan during your consultation to align with your skin goals.
Downtime is minimal, though you may experience some temporary side effects, such as redness, swelling, and sensitivity. Around 3 - 5 days post-treatment, the treated pigmentation will darken and form a light crust, which will naturally flake off over the next 7-14 days. Following the aftercare instructions provided by your therapist will help ensure a smooth recovery.
Certain medications may make your skin more sensitive to light or prone to adverse reactions. We strongly recommend consulting your GP for medical clearance before undergoing treatment. Some acne medications, for example, should be ceased 6 months prior to treatment.
Laser Pigmentation Removal is most effective for individuals with fair to light skin tones (Fitzpatrick 1-2). It is not suitable for those prone to Hyperpigmentation and Melasma, as this may increase the risk of adverse reactions.
While the treatment can provide long lasting results, pigmentation caused by sun exposure may gradually reappear over time. However, regular use of SPF and tyrosinase inhibitors will help to maintain the results and prevent further pigmentation.
The procedure involves a mild level of discomfort, with the heat from the laser targeting only the surface layers of the skin. The sensation is similar to a light snapping or tingling feeling. After the treatment, the area may feel like a mild sunburn for up to 48 hours, but cold packs and our recommended aftercare will help reduce redness and discomfort.
Immediately after treatment, the pigmentation may appear darker and can continue to deepen for 48 hours. Over the following 7-14 days, the treated area will begin to crust and flake away naturally. This is part of the healing process, and your skin will reveal a clearer, more even tone as it heals. Clients typically greater improvement in the treated pigmentation by the end of their treatment course. Results vary based on the type, depth, and age of the pigmentation, as well as how well you follow aftercare instructions.
Pigmentation treatments can be performed on any area of the body, but the most common treatment areas include the face, neck, décolletage and hands as these are the most commonly sun exposed areas.
Yes, sun exposure can significantly impact the effectiveness of your treatment. We advise avoiding sun exposure for 4 - 6 weeks before and after your treatment to prevent hypo or hyperpigmentation. Regular application of SPF 50+ is essential to protect the treated area and maintain your results. Tanning products, including sprays and lotions, should also be avoided during the course of your treatment. For optimal results, many clients choose to undergo treatments during autumn and winter when UV exposure is lower.
Certain medications, such as acne treatments, may make the skin more sensitive or affect the outcome of laser pigmentation removal. It's important to bring a list of all medications and supplements you’re currently taking to your consultation, so your clinician can determine whether any adjustments need to be made. Some medications may require a waiting period before treatment, so be sure to consult with your technician for specific recommendations.
