As we transition into Autumn now is the perfect time to start tackling unwanted skin blemishes as we move away from the summer season.
Sun induced pigment, more commonly known as sunspots, liver spots, freckles, is often associated with skin ageing as well as over exposure to the sun. Generally, these pigmented areas pose no health risk however, they can be unsightly and create a patchy and less youthful appearance. Freckling and age spots are successfully lighted and/or removed with Intense Pulse Light (IPL), for deeper or more problematic pigmentation, we can use our ND Yag laser system.
After being treated, the pigmentation can often look darker, have a scab over it or start to flake away, this is all the normal healing process and within a few days it will have cleared. A follow up treatment is usually needed following your treatment, this just ensures that the pigment has cleared to the desired effect.
Prior to treatment, a consultation is needed, this allows us to complete a medical consultation form and a small test patch of the area to make sure that you react well with the laser treatment. It means we can go through the pre and post treatment advice.
