Pigmentation Removal

Hyperpigmentation Reduction

Sun spots, liver spots, freckles and other unwanted hyperpigmentation are often associated with skin ageing and over exposure to the sun or sunbeds. From the age of about 40 the skin is less able to regenerate from sun exposure and age spots start to appear. Generally these age spots pose no health risk, however they can be unsightly and create a patchy, less youthful appearance. Freckling and age spots are successfully lightened or removed with Laser or Intense Pulse Light.

Not all pigmentation concerns are as a result of sun exposure and some people are born with pigmented birthmarks or may have melasma, a skin pigmentation condition often associated with pregnancy or hormones. Birthmarks can often be treated with a Q-Switch Laser.

IPL or Intense Pulse Light skin rejuvenation and pigment removal treatment is a relatively quick and easy procedure. Age spots and freckles can be lightened or removed in as little as one to three treatment sessions. The light targets areas of excess pigment safely breaking down the excess melanin. The sun spots or freckles darken in the first few days after treatment and then the excess melanin sheds naturally away.

This treatment is for you if:

  • You want a more even skin tone
  • You want to reduce areas of excess freckling
  • You want to target a specific age spot

Common Questions about Pigmentation Treatment

How does Intense Pulse Light Work?

The Intense Pulse Light System releases short pulses of filtered light that is readily absorbed by the high concentration of melanin found within freckles, sun spots or liver spots. The rapid absorption of light energy heats the melanin and eradicates the melanin-rich cells.

Am I suitable for pigmentation Removal?

Most people are suitable for treatment except for very dark skinned or tanned individuals. However, large, raised and dark pigmentation cannot be treated and may need to be assessed by our Medical Advisor. Dark moles should not be treated nor would we advise IPL for melasma, this would be better suited to fractional laser.

What does treatment feel like?

Treatment is mildly uncomfortable and a warm, tingling sensation not unlike sunburn is experienced afterwards.

What will I look like after treatment?

The skin may be slightly red and the pigment marks will darken and may appear more obvious before they fade away.

Are there any side effects?

Most people experience little more than slight reddening and possibly mild swelling which usually disappear within hours to a couple of days. Very rarely a small blister may form or temporary lightening or darkening of the skin can occur.

Why choose The Laser Clinic?

The Laser Clinic has high caliber equipment to complete the task. More importantly we really understand how laser light works and interacts with the skin. Our Lumina system is from Lynton Lasers who have been manufacturing lasers and IPL’s for over 15 years and their knowledge and expertise is passed onto us.

I've had courses of two different types of laser treatment with Susan (for hair removal and rosacea) and have been... really happy with the results of both. Susan is very knowledgeable, personable and professional, and I'd really recommend this clinic to anyone. I was referred by a friend and I'd send my friends to her too.

I found Susan over a year ago, looking for a way to slow down the aging process. I turn 40 this year and started... looking after my skin too late. Now I come and see Susan for regular treatments of the radiofrequency micro needling on my face and neck. I love this treatment, because it feels a more natural process, causing my skin to produce its own collagen after the treatment as it heals. The downtime is nothing, my face is a little red that day but the next day I am back to normal so no one knows I have had it done. I love the feel of the treatment when I am having it done, I love the look of my skin now it is being maintained by Susan and I just feel better knowing I am doing something good for my skin. I have got rid of all the fancy moisturisers and I just use one moisturiser that agrees with my skin and a sun screen and I invest the rest of my money in this treatment, because it starts from the deeper inside layers of my skin. I wish I had started this in my twenties. Susan is so lovely as well, I trust my face with her completely.read more

I discovered The Laser Clinic and was quickly booked in for my consultation and then my first appointment. The... technician is friendly, reassuring and incredibly professional. She talked me through the whole process and helped me understand the procedure I was having. I’ve since had 3 sessions and my skin looks incredible! Having had the same treatment at a different clinic and being sorely disappointed with the results it was a great feeling to now see my skin without the issues I’d had for so long. I’d highly recommend The Laser Clinic to anyone and will be returning for top ups and other treatments in the future.read more

Susan is lovely, explained what treatment I would need and made sure I was comfortable at all times. I particularly... liked the rural location, as I'm not sure I would be as confident or relaxed going into a town centre environment. I had laser treatment on some red prominent veins on my nose and hair removal on my chin ( I've had a fear of being in an accident and waking up with a beard 😂, so decided to deal with it in a more permanent way) I would definitely give 5* rating and highly recommended The Laser Clinic Morpethread more

A friend recommended Susan to me.I had very little confidence and The treatment I have undertaken with Susan at the Laser Clinic has been nothing short of miraculous to me. I am full of confidence in myself and how I look. I recommend this treatment to anyone who has facial veins . The results are incredible and I can’t thank Susan enough for what she has done. I will always be grateful.read more

Having suffered from acne scarring since my teenage years (I'm 47 now), I finally decided to do something about it. I... was put in touch with Susan from The Laser Clinic and have just had my sixth and final laser treatment with her. I was incredibly nervous to start with, but she soon put me at ease and answered any questions I had. Six months on and my skin is much, much better and have been told it will continue to improve even further as a result of my specific treatment.All in all a great experience and I am extremely happy with the outcome.Cheers Susan!read more

Have recently had some laser treatment at the Laser Clinic and I am so happy with the results. I had treatment for some... facial pigmentation and thread vein removal, it has made a huge difference and would highly recommend it. Susan made me feel at ease from the start and answered any questions I had, she couldn’t have been nicer. The clinic is in a lovely, quiet, discreet location which is great as my face as expected was a bit red after the treatment, I would have hated to have to walk through town. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend The Laser Clinic, definitely 5 stars.read more
