Ultraviolet solar radiation contributes to the appearance of freckles and sunspots on the skin. Lasers and Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) devices selectively target the dark pigment in the skin, breaking it down. The body then re-absorbs and clears this through natural processes.
Pigmentation can be more challenging to treat in skin of colour. Common pigmented skin conditions treated at MedAesthetics include:
- Moles, freckles & sun spots
- Hormonal pigmentation (melasma)
- Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH)
- Dermal naevi (flat moles)
- Becker naevus
- Poikiloderma of Civatte
At MedAesthetics we use medical-grade laser and Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) platforms to help address sun-damaged skin. Some of the devices at our clinics include:
- Revlite SI™
- Cutera XEO™
- Sciton™ BBL, Joule
- Fraxel™ Repair CO2
- Venus Viva MD
- Pico Genesis Skin Rejuvenation
We also use medical-strength skin peels such as TCA peel to help treat various skin pigmentations.
