Pigmentation
Pigmentation Treatment
Laser pigmentation removal is a cosmetic procedure that uses laser technology to reduce or eliminate unwanted pigmentation on the skin. This treatment is commonly used for issues like age spots, freckles, melasma, sunspots, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. At Timeless Clinic, we use the latest technology that offers precision, minimal downtime, and highly effective for a variety of skin concerns.
How it works:
- Laser technology: A Laser emits specific wavelengths of light that only target pigmented areas in the skin.
- Absorption by Melanin: The melanin (pigment) in the affected area absorbs the laser energy, breaking the pigment into smaller particles.
- Natural clearance: The body’s immune system gradually removes these particles, resulting in a clearer skin tone.
Benefits:
- Non-invasive: Minimal downtime compared to surgical procedures
- Effective results: Significant reduction in pigmentation
- Customisable: Tailored to individual skin type and concerns.
What to expect?
- Consultation: A clinician assesses your skin type and pigmentation issue.
- Pre-Treatment Care: Avoid sun exposure and certain skin products (e.g., retinol) for a few days.
- Laser Treatment:
○ A numbing cream may be applied.
○ The laser is passed over the pigmented areas.
○ Sessions last 20–45 minutes, depending on the treated area. We recommend a minimum of 2-3 sessions for optimal results.
- Post-Treatment Care: Apply sunscreen and avoid harsh skincare products for a few days.
Side effects:
- Temporary redness or swelling
- Mild scabbing or peeling
- Rarely, changes in skin texture or pigmentation
