The Science

Freckles, sun spots, port wine marks and skin discoloration are patches of the brown pigment melanin.
Melanin is produced in the skin by cells called Melanocytes. When you get a tan, melanocytes produce more brown pigment to protect your skin, which makes the skin go darker. If you have fairer skin, or sun damage, the brown pigment is more likely to clump together and form freckles.

The laser targets the unwanted pigment (melanin) and breaks it up into smaller particles that get safely reabsorbed by the body. The number of sessions is typically anywhere from 1-4 sessions.

The laser specifically target melanin in the skin and reduce the appearance of freckles, sun spots, port wine marks and other skin discoloration. The brown pigment absorbs the light energy and converts it to heat energy, and breaks it up into smaller particles that get safely reabsorbed by the body.

What does the treatment involve?

It is a prerequisite that you have an Advanced Skin Analysis and patch test prior to commencing treatment. This allows us to select the correct laser and settings to your skin type and how deeply the brown pigment is sitting in your skin, reducing the number of treatments required and the chance of any side affects.

Treatment is surprisingly quick, with even large numbers of brown spots able to be treated in less than 20 minutes.

While you may see an improvement after one treatment, we usually recommend 3 –  4 treatments to give ideal results. Different parts of your body may require different setting and some may require more treatments than others.

Winter is usually the best time to do pigmentation treatments, as you need to keep the treated areas out of the sun four weeks prior to, and after treatment. We recommend you also use a good sunblock whenever exposing treated areas to sunlight. We recommend Ocosmedics Mineral Pro as it combines Vitamin A concentrate to assist the skin healing.

How many treatments will be necessary?

Some types of pigmentation will respond better than others. Lentigines and freckles (superficial brown marks caused by age and/or sun) may only need a single treatment.
Other types may require multiple treatments, particularly deeper pigment spots such as seborrhoeic keratoses, café au lait spots, naevus of Ota and post-inflammatory pigmentation. Some (for example, hormonal pigmentation) can be quite resistant.

What can I expect post-treatment ?

Immediately after your treatment your skin will look pale and slightly swollen.  You may feel hot /sunburnt. Your skin in the area treated may be red and swollen for the rest of the day. The brown spots will darken within a day and should fade over the next 7- 14 days.
Occasionally the area may remain pink for up to 4 weeks and it is possible to have some flaking. This is a normal process as the body works to eliminate the pigmented blemishes.
Protecting your skin from sum exposure is a requirement until the skin is completely healed and the skin colour has returned to normal.
Follow your skincare specialists advice for homecare, this will vary from client to client.  Please ask your skincare specialist about our Ocosmedic Enzyme Facial Peel treatments to help enhance the recovery period.

Will the freckles and age spots disappear completely ?

Yes, in many cases the freckles and age spots can be made to disappear or fade to the point where you are the only person who can find a trace of them, because you know where to look.
Are there any risks to having the treatment ?
In most cases, the laser treatment leads to satisfactory fading or complete removal of the freckles and age spots without significant side effect.
Scarring is rare. Infection is also very rare. Loss of pigment from normal skin is rare and usually minimal.
You can reduce the chance of irregular tanning and reduce the chance that the freckles and age spots may reoccur by protecting the treated area from sun exposure.
Hypopigmentation (skin lightening) or hyperpigmentation ( skin darkening) are quite infrequent and are almost always temporary.
