About Pigmentation Reduction & Removal
Safe & Effective Technology
At Laser Clinics Canada our Therapists use state-of-the-art laser technology and are experienced in the reduction of superficial pigmentation.
How it Works
Laser Pigmentation Removal works to safely and effectively reduce the appearance of freckles, pigmentation, sun spots and age spots. The laser targets only the pigmented lesion in the skin which absorbs the light, without damaging the surrounding skin. The laser heats up and shatters the pigment. The pigment is then drawn to the surface without harming the surrounding tissue.
Once drawn to the surface, the pigmented lesions will fade or dry and flake off the treated area, leaving the skin with an even tone and complexion.

-
How long will it take for me to see a result after my treatments?
Each procedure is different – our less invasive treatments (such as Microdermabrasion and superficial Cosmedical Grade Peels) give more immediate results, and our more invasive treatments (such as deeper Cosmedical Grade Peels) may take up to a month to see full results. These treatments, however, have more lasting impacts than our less invasive treatments. At your complimentary skin consultation, your Skin Therapist will advise on a personalised treatment plan.
-
Is Pigmentation Removal suitable during pregnancy?
This treatment is not suitable during the 1st trimester of pregnancy, however, this treatment can be offered during the 2nd and 3rd trimesters with medical clearance provided.
-
How many pigmentation treatments are required for best results?
Depending on the type and depth of the pigmentation, we recommend 3-6 treatments done at monthly intervals for optimal results. At your consultation, your Skin Therapist will tailor a treatment plan suitable for your skin goals..
-
Is there any downtime after the pigmentation treatment?
There is minimal downtime with this treatment and side effects may include redness, swelling and sensitivity. These side effects are temporary and will subside with correct aftercare. You can expect peeling and darkening of the treated pigmentation around 3-5 days after the treatment. This usually lasts 7-10 days. We recommend following the aftercare procedures provided by your Skin Therapist.
-
I am currently taking medication. Can I still have this treatment done?
Certain medications can cause the skin to be photosensitive. To avoid adverse reactions from occurring, we advise you to seek medical clearance from your GP prior to proceeding with the treatment.
-
What skin types are suitable for pigmentation removal?
Pigmentation Removal is suitable for individuals with fair to light skin tones (Fitzpatrick 1-2) and who are not prone to hyperpigmentation.
