Commonly known as ‘age spots’, hyperpigmentation is a condition that causes some parts of the skin to darken more than the rest.
Our skin gets its colour from a substance called melanin, which is made by our skin cells. When our cells become damaged, they start to produce extra melanin – creating patches that look brown, black or pink.
The spots can occur on one area of the body or face, or all over – and there can be many different causes of hyperpigmentation.
But the good news is that we have just the right treatment for you, to help lighten this skin pigmentation.
At My London Skin Clinic we use state-of- the art laser technology to perform all of your pigmentation treatments.
With fully experienced practitioners, who specialise in the reduction of superficial hyperpigmentation, we are confident that our tailored treatment plans will offer you the best possible results.
Laser pigmentation removal is a safe and effective way to reduce the appearance of skin pigmentation, freckles, age spots and sun spots.
Our Q-Switch laser machine offers the latest technology – targeting the pigment lesions in the skin, without any damage to the surrounding tissues. The laser uses heat to disperse the pigment, then draws it to the surface.
Over time, the pigmented lesion will dry/flake and fade, leaving you with an even skin tone and complexion.
Results vary from patient to patient, however depending on your skin type and skin concerns, a minimum of two to three sessions are recommended for optimum results.
The Carbon Facial is generally suitable for most skin types and tones, allowing all patients with spin pigmentation to achieve glowing skin.
Before your treatment, one of our highly skilled practitioners will carry out an in-depth skin analysis to ensure your suitability for the treatment.
With no recovery time, the Carbon Facial is the perfect way to improve your overall skin… in less than 30 minutes.
