Laser Pigmentation Solutions

Discover effective laser treatments for pigmentation with our expert guidance and comprehensive FAQs.

Welcome to Cambridge Skin Clinic, where we specialize in advanced laser treatments to address pigmentation concerns and restore your skin’s natural radiance. Using the award-winning Lynton Dynamix®, a multifunctional skin rejuvenation machine featuring both Laser and IPL technology, we offer safe, effective, and personalized solutions for a variety of pigmentation issues.

Pigmentation problems, such as brown spots, freckles, and melasma, occur when melanin—the pigment responsible for skin color—accumulates unevenly in the skin. Our laser treatments target and break down excess melanin, leaving you with a clearer, more even complexion.

At Cambridge Skin Clinic, our expert medical team has over 20 years of experience. You can trust us to deliver exceptional results with the highest standards of care.

What are Laser and IPL Treatments for Pigmentation?

Laser and IPL treatments for pigmentation use concentrated beams of light to target and break down excess melanin in the skin. The Lynton Dynamix® machine combines Laser and IPL technology to safely and effectively treat pigmented lesions, such as:

  • Brown age spots (lentigines or liver spots).

  • Freckles (ephelides).

  • Café-au-lait spots.

  • Lentigines

The laser energy is absorbed by the melanin, which is then converted into heat, breaking up the pigment and allowing it to disperse naturally.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Laser and IPL Pigmentation Treatment?

Laser treatment is ideal for individuals who:

  • Have uneven skin tone or dark spots caused by sun damage, aging, or hormonal changes.

  • Want to reduce the appearance of freckles, age spots, or lentigines.

  • Have fair to medium skin tones (Fitzpatrick skin types 1–5).

You may not be a candidate if you:

  • Have very dark skin tones (Fitzpatrick skin types 5–6), as there is a higher risk of post-treatment hyperpigmentation.

  • Are pregnant or breastfeeding.

  • Have active skin infections or inflammatory conditions.

During your consultation, our expert medical team will assess your skin and determine if laser treatment is right for you.

What Can I Expect During the Procedure?

  • Consultation: A fully qualified doctor will evaluate your skin, confirm the diagnosis, and create a personalized treatment plan.

  • Preparation: The treatment area is cleaned, and a topical numbing cream may be applied for comfort.

  • Treatment: The Lynton Dynamix® machine is used to deliver precise laser energy to the pigmented areas. The procedure typically takes 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the size of the treatment area.

  • Aftercare: You’ll receive detailed instructions to ensure proper healing and optimal results.

What Is the Recovery Process?

  • Redness and Swelling: Mild redness or swelling may occur but usually subsides within 24 to 48 hours.

  • Peeling: The treated pigmented areas may darken and peel off within 5 to 7 days.

  • Healing: Full recovery typically takes 1 to 2 weeks, depending on the intensity of the treatment.

  • Aftercare: Avoid sun exposure, use sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher), and keep the skin moisturized.

What Are the Benefits of Laser Pigmentation Treatment?

  • Even Skin Tone: Reduces dark spots and pigmentation for a more uniform complexion.

  • Minimal Downtime: Quick recovery with no need for extended time off.

  • Safe and Effective: Precise targeting of pigmented areas without damaging the surrounding skin.

  • Versatile: Treats a wide range of pigmentation concerns, including age spots, freckles, and melasma.

Are There Any Risks or Side Effects?

Most side effects are mild and temporary, including:

  • Redness, swelling, or itching.

  • Temporary darkening of the treated areas before they peel off.

Rare risks include:

  • Hyperpigmentation or hypopigmentation (more common in darker skin tones).

  • Scarring (very rare when performed by an experienced practitioner).

We provide detailed aftercare instructions to minimize risks and ensure optimal results.

How Many Treatments Are Needed?

The number of sessions depends on the type and severity of pigmentation:

  • Superficial pigmentation: 1 to 3 treatments.

  • Deeper pigmentation: 3 to 6 treatments, spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart.

How Long Do Results Last?

Results can last for months, depending on your skin type, lifestyle, and sun exposure. To maintain results, we recommend:
