How it Works

1.

Initial Consultation

During the initial consultation, we will review your medical history and lifestyle factors before conducting a thorough skin analysis to determine the type and cause of pigmentation. We will discuss realistic expectations and recommend a customised treatment plan.

Treatment

Treatment is usually multifactorial and starts with a prescribed skin care regimen to target pigmentation and improve quality of skin. Sun protection is an essential part of the treatment process to protect the skin and prevent further pigmentation. A series of chemical peels may be prescribed to target pigmentation. Laser therapy if often advised alongside this to specifically target pigmentation. Nonablative lasers help with freckling and lentigo as well as melasma and post inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Fully and fractional ablative lasers are used to target sun damage and benign pigmented lesions. Multiple sessions may be required to achieve outcomes, as well as maintain results.

3.

Aftercare

Immediately following treatment it is important to avoid direct sun exposure and apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 50+). Use soothing creams or balms if recommended. Continue with prescribed skin care products to maintain the outcome and prevent recurrence.

 

It is important to be in touch with any questions or concerns during treatment, stick to the treatment plan and attend scheduled appointments. Combining professional treatments with a long term skin care regimen, patients can achieve a brighter, more even skin tone and maintain results.
