How it Works
At the Victorian Laser & Skin Clinic, we provide targeted laser pigmentation removal which works to safely and effectively reduce the appearance of freckles, sun spots, age spots and all types of pigmented skin areas. This laser pigmentation treatment is performed with a medical grade laser which effectively targets only the pigmented spots. The laser targets only the pigmented spots in the skin because this is the only area that can absorb the laser light due to its darker colour, therefor no damage to the surrounding skin occurs. The laser light heats up and shatters the pigment. When the pigment is raised to the surface, the pigmented lesions will either fade as the particles are small enough for the body to remove as waste, or dry and flake off, leaving the skin with an even tone and complexion.
Laser pigmentation removal is used for:
- Freckles
- Pigmentation
- Sun Damaged Skin
- Age Spots
Victorian Laser & Skin Clinic has been mentioned by Vogue Ballroom & Vines of the Yarra Valley as “one of the best laser pigmentation removal clinics in Melbourne”
Benefits
Laser photo treatments offer several advantages over other skin rejuvenation and anti aging modalities such as chemical peeling and laser skin resurfacing. These advantages include:
- Substantial visible improvements seen in the skin,
- Laser treatments are safe, with a minimal risk of scarring or adverse effects.
- Quick and easy for patients and, generally speaking, no anaesthesia is required. A laser facial can be performed for most patients within 15-20 minutes.
- The energy delivered is in the form of pulses of light. The wavelength of the laser is within the visible spectrum of light, so there is minimal risk of ocular injury and a higher level of patient safety.
- Photo rejuvenation treatments can be safely used on non-facial skin. This allows us to provide effective neck and chest erythema treatment as well as photoaging of the neck, chest, forearms, shoulders and legs.
Pre & Post Treatment Care
Pre-Treatment Care
All patients must have a consultation prior to the procedure. They must complete a general medical questionnaire on the nature of their skin and their anti aging needs. At the time of the first consultation, patients will be tested to properly evaluate the correct settings for their skin condition and skin type. These parameters will then be stored in a database and in the patient’s chart for future reference.
Post-Treatment Care
If needed, apply ice to the face after laser facial treatment, and wash with a gentle cleanser using cool water. Afterwards, apply moisturiser and avoid the sun as much as you can. If you do venture out into the sun, make sure you wear a hat and apply sunblock with an SPF of 30+ on an hourly basis.
FAQ
What is laser pigmentation removal?
An intense light is emitted in a series of gentle pulses over the area of treatment. It is necessary to undertake a series of laser facial sessions to improve the appearance of sun damaged and ageing skin.
What areas can be treated?
Treatments can be performed on any part of the skin, but they are especially effective on the face, neck, chest and hands.
What conditions can be treated?
With laser skin rejuvenation, the Victoria Laser & Skin Clinic is able to offer effective pigmentation removal, and treatment for sunspots, age spots and freckles.
What are the common reasons for skin pigmentation changes?
Common causes of skin pigmentation changes include:
- Sun exposure: UV rays can trigger an overproduction of melanin, leading to sun spots and other forms of hyperpigmentation.
- Hormonal changes: Pregnancy, birth control pills, and hormone therapy can cause conditions like melasma.
- Aging: As the skin ages, pigmentation changes such as age spots or liver spots may develop.
- Inflammation or injury: Acne, cuts, or other skin conditions can result in post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
Is it safe to have pigmentation removal treatments during pregnancy or while breastfeeding?
Laser pigmentation removal is generally not recommended during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. This precaution is due to the body’s hormonal fluctuations, which can cause skin sensitivity or affect pigmentation. It’s always best to consult with your healthcare provider and skin clinician before undergoing any cosmetic procedures during these times.
What are the advantages over other skin rejuvenation modalities?
There are substantial visible improvements seen in the skin, with minimal downtime compared to other methods such as laser skin resurfacing. In most cases, patients are able to return to normal activity immediately. Treatments are safe with a minimal risk of scarring or adverse effects. The whole face can be treated with a laser facial within 40 minutes for most patients.
Can laser pigmentation removal provide permanent results in a single treatment session?
In most cases, laser pigmentation removal may require multiple sessions to achieve the desired results. While some types of pigmentation, such as age spots or sun spots, may show significant improvement after a single treatment, other deeper or more stubborn pigmentation may need additional sessions for full removal. The number of treatments needed depends on the severity of the pigmentation and your skin type.
What is the recommended interval between laser pigmentation sessions for optimal results?
For optimal results, most skin clinics recommend waiting 4 to 6 weeks between laser pigmentation sessions. This allows the skin to heal and regenerate while the pigmentation fades. The exact interval may vary depending on the type of pigmentation and the treatment plan tailored to your skin needs.
How many treatments are needed?
Depending on the skin concern, as little as 2-3 sessions are required, but for some conditions, 4 to 6 treatments are recommended. A follow up treatment in 2 or more years may be required for some conditions.
How long do the results of laser pigmentation removal typically last?
The results of laser pigmentation removal can last for several years, but this depends on factors like sun exposure, lifestyle habits, and skin care routines. Protecting your skin from UV rays by using a high-SPF sunscreen and following a proper skincare regimen is crucial for maintaining the results. Pigmentation may return over time due to new sun damage, hormonal changes, or aging, but periodic maintenance treatments can help preserve the effects.
How soon can I expect to see results from laser pigmentation treatments?
You can start seeing visible improvements in your skin tone within a week or two after the first treatment, as the pigmentation gradually fades. However, optimal results are usually seen after a series of treatments, which may be spread over a few months. The skin’s healing process will continue, and you’ll notice further lightening and brightening as your skin regenerates.
Does it hurt?
Most people describe the treatment as feeling like an elastic band flicking on the skin. After the laser facial treatment, the area may feel like sunburn for several hours. Patients do have the option of having a topical anaesthetic applied to the area before treatment to help eliminate any discomfort.
How much recovery time is needed after laser pigmentation treatment?
Laser pigmentation treatments typically require little to no downtime. You might experience some redness, mild swelling, or darkening of the treated areas, but these side effects usually subside within a few days. Most people can return to their regular activities immediately after treatment. However, it’s important to avoid direct sun exposure and follow your clinician’s aftercare advice to ensure proper healing and optimal results.
Are there any side effects?
Most side effects are mild and of short duration. There may be slight redness and/or crusting immediately following treatment, lasting less than 24 hours in most people. On rare occasions, it may last up to several days.
