Straightforward and Safe Pigmental Removal in Gillingham

How does Pigment Removal treatment work?

The energy of lasers is released in quick bursts that are rapidly absorbed by the abundance of melanin present in areas with pigmentation, such as melasma and age spots. This rapid absorption of light energy warms the skin layers, resulting in destruction of the melanin-rich cells without affecting the upper layer of skin.

The laser light activates the production of collagen from within, stimulating the development of healthy new skin cells. A scab may form as your existing skin is shed off, with the dark pigmented blemish coming away along with it.

How does the treatment feel?

Patients typically find the pigment removal procedure to be relatively painless and don't require anaesthesia.

How many treatments are necessary?

The number of sessions for pigment removal treatments can range from one to three, usually conducted at four to six week intervals. This depends on the characteristics of the pigmented lesion.
