Rediscover Radiant Skin with Laser Pigmentation Removal in Ipswich
Over time, factors like sun exposure, hormonal changes, and aging can lead to uneven skin tone, dark spots, and pigmentation issues. These changes can affect how you feel about your appearance, making you self-conscious or prompting you to conceal your skin under makeup.
At Emma Hart Aesthetics in Ipswich, we understand the emotional impact of skin imperfections. Our advanced laser pigmentation removal treatments offer a path to clearer, more even-toned skin, helping you feel confident and comfortable in your own skin.
The light energy is absorbed disproportionately by the concentration of pigment which forms the unwanted lesion. This selective delivery of laser energy destroys the excess pigment and fades the lesion, but remarkably leaves the surrounding tissue unaffected. The number of treatment sessions required varies from patient to patient, but typically two to four sessions are needed. Each session usually lasts between 15 and 30 minutes, but again will vary depending on your individual needs.
Some people feel a slight discomfort with each laser pulse, describing the sensation as similar to having an elastic band snapped against the skin. Ask your provider what you should expect. You will be able to resume normal activities after each session, but you may be given specific advice, such as avoiding sun or abrasive skin cleansers on treated skin for a few days. After the treatment, a cool compress or gel pack may be applied. If you do have any redness or swelling after treatment, this should resolve in a couple of hours. Permanent side effects are rare but should be discussed with your provider.

FAQS
Laser pigmentation removal effectively treats age spots, sun spots, freckles, and certain birthmarks. However, conditions like melasma or chloasma may respond better to alternative treatments such as microneedling or our Cosmelan peel.
The laser emits targeted light energy absorbed by the melanin in pigmented areas, breaking down the pigment particles. These fragments are then naturally eliminated by the body's lymphatic system, resulting in a more even skin tone.
Most clients describe the sensation as a mild snapping feeling, similar to a rubber band against the skin. Discomfort is typically minimal and temporary.
The number of sessions varies depending on the severity of the pigmentation. Typically, clients require 3 to 4 treatments spaced 4 weeks apart to achieve optimal results.
Improvements can often be seen after the first session, with progressive fading of pigmentation over subsequent treatments. Full results are usually evident after completing the recommended treatment course.
Downtime is minimal. You may experience slight redness or swelling, which typically subsides within a few hours to a couple of days. Most clients resume normal activities immediately.
Post-treatment care includes avoiding sun exposure for at least 2 weeks, applying SPF 30+ daily, and refraining from using active skincare ingredients like retinol or glycolic acid for 5 days. Keeping the skin hydrated and avoiding exfoliation for 5 days is also recommended.
While laser treatments are effective for many, certain lasers may not be suitable for darker skin tones due to the risk of hyperpigmentation. A consultation and patch test are essential to determine the most appropriate treatment for your skin type.
Yes, a patch test is required to assess your skin's reaction to the laser and ensure the treatment's safety and effectiveness. This is typically conducted during your initial consultation.
While treated pigmentation is unlikely to return, new pigmentation can develop due to factors like sun exposure or hormonal changes. Maintaining a good skincare routine and protecting your skin from the sun can help prevent new pigmentation.
