More About Pigmentation Laser Treatment
How to get rid of freckles?
This pigmentation laser treatment can cover large areas of sun damage for effective sun damage treatment as well as freckle removal. Common areas where freckle patches tend to form are those most exposed to the sun such as over the nose, across the cheeks, forehead and hands. For those researching how to get rid of freckles, our laser pigmentation removal treatment is an excellent option for you as it has a quicker recovery than many other ablative laser treatments.
Can I remove sun damage on hands?
Our pigmentation laser is an effective way to remove the appearance of sun damage on hands.
What should I do before my laser pigmentation removal treatment?
• Clients on retinol products, glycolic acid or other AHA containing products or hydroquinone containing products should stop them 3 days before having laser
• You will need to make sure you do not have a tan on your face so avoid sunbathing the face for 14 days before your laser treatment and no sunbed use for 14 days before
• No fake tan can be on the face on the day you have laser so avoid self-tanning products on the face for 7 days before treatment
What can I expect during and after treatment?
During treatment, some patients may feel discomfort and we advise clients to take 2 paracetamol 30 minutes before their appointment.
Depending on your skin type (and the lesion being treated), some redness and swelling may be visible and the pigmented area will initially go darker and will remain darker for around 5 days before it fades.
What is the aftercare after pigmentation laser treatment?
• Immediately after treatment, there may be redness and swelling at the treatment area (this can feel like mild sunburn).
• The application of a cool pack during the first few hours after treatment will reduce any discomfort.
• The application of sudo crem is recommended and can be done at home that evening
• The pigmentation will get worse (go darker) initially before flaking off
• Avoid sun exposure to reduce the risk of hyperpigmentation or darker pigmentation. SPF 50 sunscreen is a MUST.
• Avoid picking or scratching the treated skin as this may darken any areas of pigmentation.
• Avoid hot baths, exercise and heat treatments, and treat the skin gently – as if you had sunburn – for the first 24 hours.
How many pigmentation laser treatments will I need and are results permanent?
You will need a minimum of 3 treatments and will need to wear an SPF daily and use a pigment suppressing cream which we can provide you with to maintain the result long term.
Can I go on sunshine holiday during my pigmentation laser treatment?
Yes, but you need to wear factor 50 SPF on your face and wear a hat in the sun and you need to wait 2 weeks after returning from holiday before having your next session if you get any sun burn or tan on your face while away.
Who is this treatment not suitable for?
• Not suitable for Asian or black skins as will cause pigmentation. Clients with a very dry and sensitive skin may need to use products to fortify the skin barrier prior to treatment – your aesthetic skin therapist will be able to advise you on this on the day of your consultation and test patch.
• Any clients who have a reaction to the test patch (burn, blister or pigmentation) will not be able to have this treatment.
• Cannot be performed on anyone who is pregnant or breastfeeding
• Cannot be performed on anyone who has had a suntan on the skin within 14 days before treatment
• Cannot be performed on anyone on photosensitising medication such as lymecycline or doxycycline
• Not suitable if you have active acne – we will need to prescribe you skincare to treat your breakouts first
• Clients on retinol products, glycolic acid or other AHA containing products or hydroquinone containing products should stop them 3 days before having laser
