Laser pigmented lesions and age spots
Laser treatment safely reduces the melanin (dark pigment) in the skin, so that pigmented lesions fade and slowly disappear.
Laser treatments can be used to treat age spots, liver spots and sun spots, and can address pigmentation issues across the hands, chest and décolletage rather than a single isolated area.
The laser targets only the pigmented area of the skin, which absorbs the light without damaging the surrounding skin, leaving you with a clear and even skin tone.

Reviews for our Laser pigmented lesions and age spots treatment
What is laser treatment for pigmented lesions and age spots like?
How does laser work?
The laser light heats up and breaks down the pigmented area or age spot. Once the pigmentation is broken down it is naturally removed by the body to leave an even and clear skin tone.
Only the pigmented areas of the skin are carefully targeted, so the surrounding skin is untouched.
Following your treatment
Once the pigmented areas have been treated, the lesion or age spot may darken and form a crusty layer before the skin naturally renews.
The pigmented area will gradually fade over several weeks. More than one treatment may be required to achieve your desired results.
The treated area may feel warm and sensitive, with slight redness, but this resolves quickly.
A high factor sunscreen will protect the skin following your treatment and help the pigmentation to fade. Your practitioner will give you full aftercare instructions.
