About sun/age spot removal

It’s amazing how something so small can have such a big impact on your confidence. Those dark patches and sun spots, often signs of ageing or years of sun exposure. can leave you feeling like you need to cover up, even when you’d rather let your skin breathe.

We understand how clearer skin can lead to a clearer mind and help you feel like yourself again.

What Causes Age & Sun Spots?

These flat, pigmented patches are usually caused by UV exposure over time, combined with natural ageing. Hormonal changes, genetics, and skin type can also play a part. While harmless, they can leave skin looking tired, uneven, and older than you feel.

How We Treat Them

Our advanced laser treatment targets excess pigmentation with precise pulses of light, breaking it down so your body can naturally clear it away. Most clients see a visible improvement in 3 to 6 sessions, spaced 4-12 weeks apart, with top-up sessions as needed to maintain that fresh, even tone.

We treat age and sun spots on the face, hands, chest, and body, with minimal discomfort, no downtime, and beautiful, long-lasting results.

How it Works

Targeting the Pigment

Laser pigmentation removal works by directing short bursts of light energy into the skin. The laser specifically targets areas of excess melanin the pigment responsible for age spots, sun damage, and uneven skin tone, without harming the surrounding skin.

Breaking It Down

The light energy heats and breaks down the pigment into tiny fragments. Once shattered, these fragments are naturally processed and cleared away by your body’s lymphatic system over the following weeks, gradually fading the appearance of dark spots.

Stimulating Skin Renewal

In addition to breaking down pigmentation, the laser also stimulates collagen production and cell turnover. This not only helps reduce pigmentation but also leaves the skin looking brighter, smoother, and more refreshed overall.

Long-Lasting Results

Most people need a series of treatments spaced a few weeks apart for best results. With proper skincare and sun protection, results can be long-lasting, giving you clearer, more even-toned skin that feels as good as it looks.

FAQ's

Quick answers to questions you may have

How does laser treatment remove sun and age spots?

Laser treatment targets excess melanin in the skin with pulses of light energy. This breaks down the pigmentation into smaller particles, which are then naturally eliminated by your body over time, leaving your skin clearer and more even-toned.

Is the treatment painful?

Most clients describe the sensation as a quick snap, similar to an elastic band against the skin. It’s generally well-tolerated, and any discomfort is brief. We can apply a cooling gel or use a chilled laser head to enhance comfort during treatment.

How many sessions will I need?

Most people see a noticeable improvement after 1–3 sessions, but a course of 3–6 treatments is typically recommended for best results. This can vary depending on the depth and number of pigmented spots, your skin type, and the area being treated.

What areas can be treated?

We can treat sun and age spots on the face, hands, chest, shoulders, arms, and other areas commonly exposed to the sun. If you’re unsure, we’re happy to assess your skin and advise during a consultation.

How long does each session take?

Treatment time depends on the size of the area, but most sessions take between 15 to 45 minutes. It’s a quick, walk-in-walk-out procedure with no downtime, so you can return to your normal routine straight after.

Will the spots disappear immediately?

Not immediately. After treatment, the spots may darken slightly before flaking off or fading gradually over the following 1–3 weeks. This is completely normal and part of the natural healing process.

Is laser safe for all skin types?

Laser pigmentation removal works best on lighter skin tones with clearly defined sun spots. For darker skin types, we’ll assess suitability carefully, as certain lasers can cause unwanted pigment changes. A consultation and patch test are essential.

Are the results permanent?

Once treated spots are cleared, they typically don’t return. However, new sun spots can appear if your skin is exposed to UV without protection. Daily sunscreen is essential to maintain your results long-term.

Is there any downtime after treatment?

There’s minimal to no downtime. You may experience slight redness, warmth, or mild swelling for a few hours post-treatment. Most clients carry on with their day as normal.

How do I prepare for treatment?
  • Avoid sun exposure or tanning for at least 4 weeks before treatment.
  • Do not use retinoids or strong exfoliants on the treatment area for 7 days before.
  • Arrive with clean skin — free from makeup, lotions, or fake tan.

Can I wear makeup or go in the sun after treatment?

You can wear mineral makeup after 24 hours, but it’s best to avoid direct sun exposure and heat (like saunas or hot showers) for 48 hours. Always apply SPF daily to protect your skin and support the healing process.
