Pigment/ Sun Damage Laser

The right treatment for pigmentation depends on the type and cause of the pigmentation. Treatment options include:

1. Skincare and topical treatments

• Prescription creams – Ingredients like hydroquinone and retinoic acid can help lighten dark spots and even skin tone. These are prescribed by dermatologists for short-term use.
• Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) – Helps to reduce pigmentation and prevent new spots from forming. It is gentle and suitable for long-term use alongside other treatments.
• Sunscreen – Daily sun protection is essential to prevent further pigmentation and maintain results from treatments.

2. Skin peels and facials

• Enzyme Reactivation Peels – These treatments help remove dead skin cells, lifting accumulated melanin and promoting a more even skin tone.
• Targeted skin peels – Peels can be customised to address different concerns, including pigmentation, acne, and fine lines.

3. Laser treatments

Laser therapy is a highly effective option for certain types of pigmentation, such as:

• Sunspots, freckles, and age spots
• Café-au-lait spots (light brown birthmarks)
• Melasma (in some cases, depending on severity and skin type)

At Complete Skin Specialists, we use advanced laser technology, including the Candela GMax Pro laser, which delivers safe and effective results. Most patients require 2–3 initial treatments, followed by occasional maintenance treatments to maintain an even skin tone.
