SKIN PEELS AND LASER TREATMENTS FOR PIGMENTATION

1. Pigmentation and Freckles

There are still questions as to exactly what causes birthmarks, whether it is a Port-Wine Stain, a lighter Caf Au Lait marks or a dark bluey black Birthmark. There is no evidence that they these are hereditary.

Freckles are simply small clumps of coagulated Melanin, but age spots are due purely to the damage from the suns rays.

Which is why we should all use a Sun Screen even though it may not be sunny!

2. How can this Pigmentaton be treated?

a) Laser and IPL

Superficial pigmentation describes an area of pigmentation that occurs in the epidermis. This pigmentation can be removed effectively by an intense pulse light system releasing light of yellow/green colour. Types of superficial pigmentation include Lentigo (age spots, sun spots and freckles

Conventional methods for removing blemishes, pigmentation, freckles, age and sunspots involved using Bleaching Creams or aggressive "Chemical" peeling which can damage the surrounding skin, cause burning or rashes.

Laser and Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) is the latest in technology to treat Pigmentation which is very effective with great results. At Remedies we have 3 different types of Laser and IPL machines to use to suit the skin problems presented.

With all Laser or IPL treatments you will need a Laser Consulation which lasts about 30 minutes and for Pigmentation this is FREE.

b) Glycolic Skin Peels

We use Glycolic Peels which are far less agressive then Chemical pels and have a lot of success with lightening the skin. In some cases we may combine a Peel with a Laser/IPL treatment for best results.

If your Pigmenation is not too bad you may wish to consider another option by having a Consultation Facial with us first.

Although this is not free it is a great place to start because we assess your skin in our Skin Scanner then provide a tailoured facial to suit your needs and this may be a Glycolic Peel if that is what is appropriate for you. 

So, do not put up with those pigmented marks any longer and call our Reception 01392 877221 today to book that consultation.
