Skin Pigmentation near Croydon

When you come in for your consultation we will be able to advise you as to the number of treatments we predict you may need for your skin pigmentation to fade or disappear. However, everyone is different – while one person may need a course of three treatment sessions, someone else may need six. Treatment sessions are usually spaced at around two to six weeks apart.

We have seen fantastic results for skin pigmentation treatment. Results depend on your own specific area of skin pigmentation, and can take a matter of months to be fully appreciated. The best results will be seen after a course of a few treatments, but you will notice a gradual fading of the pigmentation as your treatments progress. This may result in the area becoming completely unnoticeable, or significantly lighter and closer to your normal skin tone.

Treatment time depends on the size of the lesion being treated. In general, if we are treating just one patch then treatment time usually takes around 30 minutes, a few areas takes about 45 minutes, and a full face session lasts around an hour. We will be able to advise you as to how long we expect your own treatment to take when you come in for your consultation.

After your sessions for your skin pigmentation, you may experience a certain amount of redness and/or swelling to the treated area. This should fade over the course of the next 48 hours. You may also notice that the area of skin pigmentation actually appears darker five to seven days post treatment. It should then flake away. There is no down time involved with this treatment and you can get back to your normal everyday routines straightaway

Treatment for skin pigmentation is a quick and safe procedure, and requires no anaesthetic or skin-numbing agents. If you do experience any discomfort it will be mild. There is no need to be anxious about this treatment, but if you are, please talk through your worries with our skilled staff at your consultation and we will be able to ease any fears.
