Almost everyone in Australia has facial pigmentation from sun exposure and although they are not harmful to the skin’s health, they detract from an even complexion and can therefore be cosmetically displeasing.
Spot Pigment Treatment can lighten these accumulations of pigment and improve the skin’s overall colour, texture and luminosity.
The Medlite C6 Spot Laser Treatment is a light-based procedure that targets signs of ageing, including uneven skin tone (pigmentation) such as freckles and age spots anywhere on the body.

Note: Please inform your doctor or nurse if you have ever experienced or are prone to darkening of the skin post trauma.
Spot Pigment Treatment is usually very safe and risks and complications are rare. However, if the skin is incorrectly cared for it can prolong the healing time and possibly lead to infection and scarring.
Hyperpigmentation (darker areas of pigment on the skin associated with trauma) can last from 1-12 months. It can be treated with medicated bleaching creams and we recommend darker skin types prep their skin with a bleaching cream 4weeks prior to treatment. It the skin fails to lighten (some lesions may need further treatment such as cryotherapy) and can be discussed with your doctor.
Most people will notice a visible improvement after the first treatment. Up to 3 treatments may be recommended for skin with more significant skin damage.
We recommend monthly treatments for future maintenance against any pigmentation occurring after the pigment treated now.
For 2+ weeks prior to your treatment we recommend the use of the Ultra Diminishing Complex or Ultra Brightening Serum.The doctor may alternatively recommend a prescription lightening cream.
Most skin will experience mild redness, swelling and sensitivity for 24-48 hours. Some skin may be prone to very mild purpura or bruising visible for 2-3 days. There will also be areas of darkening, which will either flake off or lighten over the first 7 days for the face and 21-28 days for the body.
