Skin Pigmentation & Tone
Discolouration of the skin? We can help!
Unsightly skin pigmentation can range from sun-damaged skin to melasma induced via medications or changing hormone levels. At Facelab, our dermal clinicians are experts at treating pigmented skin lesions. In most cases, a Q-Switch laser is not only an effective treatment but also painless with no downtime, suiting any Fitzpatrick skin type. These lasers can target pigments, shattering them into small pieces that are eliminated from the body through the lymphatic system.

Frequent Questions keyboard_arrow_down
What danger signs should one look for in pigmented lesions?
Pigmented lesions should be examined regularly for signs of premalignancy or malignancy. If irregular borders, colour changes within the lesion or other signs of suspicion are identified, your Facelab consultant will refer you to an appropriate medical specialist.
Can 'Port Wine Stains' be removed with lasers?
'Port-wine stains' or nevus flammeus is a discolouration of the human skin caused by a vascular anomaly. These lesions are often seen at birth and considered to be 'birthmarks'. The Q-Switch laser can effectively deliver energy with a photocoagulation effect permanently 'shutting down' these abnormal blood vessels significantly improving skin colour.

Additional Infomation keyboard_arrow_down
Skin pigmentations can be different, ranging from sun-damaged cells to medication or hormone-induced melasma. At Facelab, our dermal therapists are experts at treating pigmentation of the skin. A Q-Switch laser can provide an effective treatment that is performed painlessly with no downtime, suiting any Fitzpatrick skin type. The laser energy targets the pigment in melanocytes, shattering it into small pieces that are eliminated from the region via the lymphatic system.
Pigmented skin lesions are remarkably common, the overwhelming majority being benign. It is now widely accepted that a Q-Switched laser is the ideal tool for treating pigmented lesions. These lasers can deliver energy at 'nano' speed allowing an intense pulse of light energy to be selectively absorbed by specific pigments in a lesion.
Facelab's Q-Switch Starwalker laser has two specific wavelengths used to target pigments in the skin. Superficial lesions can be treated most effectively with the 532nm wavelength, while the 1064nm wavelength can be used to target deeper lesions.
For difficult to treat conditions such as melasma, the Starwalker laser can break apart the pigment without damaging adjacent cells. This means pigment destruction can take placed without ablating the skin. This unique feature also allows other treatment possibilities, such as the safe and effective removal of intricate, multi-coloured tattoos.
Some superficial pigmented lesions can also be removed with an Er:YAG laser (Dynamis & Lightwalker). These lasers can be used to ablate skin keratoses, moles and other pigmented lesions. The Er:YAG laser removes the epidermis and superficial dermis in a controlled and relatively bloodless manner.
