PIGMENTATION TREATMENT GEELONG

Lighten sun spots and pigmentation for a more even, radiant complexion

Pigmentation can develop on both the face and body and is commonly referred to as sunspots or age spots. Irregular skin pigmentation is a common occurrence, with freckles and other marks often present from birth. However, the majority of individuals seeking pigmentation removal have acquired hyperpigmentation due to increased melanin production over time, primarily as a result of prolonged sun exposure and ultraviolet (UV) radiation.

FAQs about Pigmentation and Brown Spots

Additional Information About Pigmentation and Brown Spots Plus

There are various types of hyperpigmentation which may present on the skin, including:

  • Melasma- Melasma causes brown or grayish patches, usually on the face. It occurs due to hormonal changes, sun exposure, and genetics. Common triggers include pregnancy and birth control pills.
  • Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH) - PIH is darkening of the skin after inflammation or injury. It results from excess melanin production in response to trauma. Common causes include acne, burns, and skin treatments.
  • Freckles (Ephelides) - Freckles are small brown spots on sun-exposed areas. They develop due to UV exposure and genetics. Freckles darken in summer and fade in winter.
  • Sun Spots / Age Spots (Solar Lentigines) - Sunspots are flat, brown or black spots on the skin. They form due to long-term sun exposure. Unlike freckles, they do not fade with time.
What occurs during Pico Genesis for Pigmentation and Sun Spots? Plus

Pico Genesis uses a non-thermal, photoacoustic technology, Pico Genesis delivers laser energy in a picosecond pulse duration, breaking down pigment granules into smaller fragments which are then naturally eliminated via the lymphatic system. 

What occurs during Cosmelan for Pigmentation and Sun Spots? Plus

Cosmelan is a professional depigmentation treatment that reduces and regulates melanin production to improve hyperpigmentation. It works by inhibiting tyrosinase, the key enzyme responsible for melanin synthesis, thereby preventing excess pigment formation.

The treatment consists of an in-clinic mask followed by a home-care regimen to enhance and maintain results. 

Cosmelan is effective for conditions such as melasma, sunspots, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, promoting a more even skin tone while also improving skin texture.

What occurs during Clear & Brilliant for Pigmentation and Sun Spots? Plus

Clear and Brilliant is a non-ablative fractionated laser treatment, targeting water in the skin to coagulate skin tissue creating millions of microscopic treatment zones in the skin without disrupting the skin barrier. This then sends the skin into the natural wound healing response, triggering dermal remodelling and new collagen production. 

Can I remove all of my pigmentation? Plus

There are various pigmentation removal treatments available, with the most appropriate option depending on the type of pigmentation you are presenting with. 

In some cases, complete removal may not be guaranteed. However, our dermal clinicians will develop a personalised treatment plan aimed at preventing, reducing, or lightening the appearance of pigmentation.

Utilising advanced laser technology and targeted skin treatments, we deliver effective solutions to address pigmentation, sunspots, and uneven skin tone, promoting skin rejuvenation from within.
