Pigmentation Treatment Sun spots, liver spots, freckles and any other unwanted pigmentation are often associated with skin ageing and over exposure to the sun or sunbeds. From the age of about 40 the skin is less able to regenerate from sun exposure and age spots start to appear. Generally these age spots pose no health risk, however they can create a patchy less youthful appearance. Freckling and age spots are successfully lightened or removed with Laser or Intense Pulsed Light.
Pigmentation can be caused by a number of factors. The most common cause is sun damage. This can result in the appearance of sun spots, age spots freckles and uneven patches of discoloration to the skin in areas that are exposed to sunlight. These can easily be treated with the use of our chemical peels.
Our IPL treatment is also Proven to effectively and quickly remove Hyperpigmentation caused by sun damage.
Not all pigmentation concerns are as a result of sun exposure. They can also occur due to hormonal changes (melasma) or through skin inflammation arising from any trauma or injury (Post inflammatory Hyperpigmentation).
A consultation will allow your Aesthetic Therapist to determine the cause and type of pigmentation and also the correct treatment options to resolve the issue.
For pigmentation that is not linked to sun exposure, we recommend the world leading de-pigmentation treatment, Cosmelan.
Cosmelan Professional depigmenting treatment is designed to eliminate or reduce dark spots of melanic origin on the skin, while unifying the skin tone and enhancing skin luminosity.

The synergistic action of all the method products ensures: higher depigmenting efficacy, greater comfort during treatment and lower risk of repigmentation.
