Laser treatment for freckles, sun spots, age spots, and some types of birthmarks is a non-invasive skin procedure that uses targeted light energy to break down excess pigment in the skin. It’s an effective way to achieve a brighter, more even skin tone by removing areas of hyperpigmentation without harming the surrounding skin.
This treatment is ideal for people with sun-damaged skin, pigmentation issues, or discolouration caused by ageing or genetics.
The laser emits a specific wavelength of light that is absorbed by melanin (the pigment responsible for dark spots).
The heat from the laser shatters the pigment into tiny fragments.
Over the following days and weeks, the body’s lymphatic system naturally removes the pigment, leading to a lighter, clearer appearance of the treated area.
Some lasers promote collagen production and skin renewal, which can help prevent and heal early scarring.
