Age spots, sun spots, liver spots, freckles and other unwanted pigmentation are often associated with skin ageing and overexposure to the sun or sun-beds. This becomes more apparent from the age of about 40 as the skin is less able to regenerate from sun exposure and age spots start to appear on the skin.
Although they can occur from hereditary factors or hormones, these pigmented lesions are a natural part of life for most people and tend to pose no health risk. Appearing primarily on the face, hands, arms, shoulders and chest, skin pigmentation can to some become unsightly and create a patchy, less youthful appearance.
How Does Laser Treatment For Pigmentation Work?
Laser pigmentation removal treatment here at Harley Skin & Laser Clinic is completed using primarily using intense pulsed light (IPL) Q Switched or Alexandrite Laser.
Utilising the body’s natural healing processes, this non-invasive laser pigmentation treatment uses quick pulses of intense light to the targeted area penetrating to deeper layers of the skin beneath any pigmented lesions. When the light pulses touch the skin, the energy is absorbed by pigment cells and turns into heat, this heat breaks down the melanin in the skin while stimulating collagen and elastin production to produce clearer more flawless-looking skin.
Intense Pulsed Light is one of the best solutions you can find for treating acne scarring and being able to clean up even the most extreme of cases of skin pigmentation. In comparison to alternatives such as oral antibiotics that can be harmful to some people, IPL treatment is a safe and easy option for laser pigmentation removal.
What You Can Expect During Our Laser Skin Pigmentation Treatment
Consultation
Here at Harley Skin & Laser Clinic in Stoke-on-Trent, the health and well-being of our clients are always our highest priority, our first step would always be you sitting down with one of our experienced practitioners here at our clinic to discuss your medical history to make sure there are no contradictions and you are suitable for the treatment to take place.
Our expert practitioners will then discuss the results you are looking for with you from your laser pigmentation removal and how we can help you achieve a healthy, youthful-looking appearance. Before proceeding you will be asked to sign a consent form and undergo a test patch to check for any reactions.
The starting price for our Pigmentation Removal Treatment is £40, which will be discussed with you through the consultation as we ensure you get the exact look you are looking for.
During Your Treatment
During the skin pigmentation treatment protective earwear will be provided to every client and must be worn, this is due to the potency of the IPL or laser that is able to damage the iris or retina of the eye if not handled with care.
Laser treatment for pigmentation is completed by placing the IPL light applicator onto the affected area of the skin and a series of short pulses of light is released. The applicator is then moved around the neighbouring area, with the process repeated until the entire area is treated, a small amount of pinpoint blood may occur during the treatment although this is of no concern and is commonplace. If this bleeding does occur a dressing will be applied to assist the healing process.
The full laser pigmentation removal treatment takes between 15 to 30 minutes depending on the affected area and results may not show instantaneously.
After The Treatment
After you have received laser pigmentation treatment the treated area may feel warm and sensitive for the first few days and the pigmentation lesions may darken. This effect should fade as the lesion starts to darken initially and then ‘flake’ away after 7 – 10 days. With full recovery time being between 2 to 4 weeks.
For the first few days after the treatment is complete, our expert practitioners will advise you not to use any abrasive skin products on or around the affected areas, or subject the skin to any high amount of heat such as that found in saunas or hot tubs. You will be advised to avoid sun exposure for 4 weeks after the treatment and the application of Harley Skin Care ‘Protect SPF 50’ daily is recommended.
