Sun spots, liver spots, freckles and other unwanted pigmentation are often associated with skin ageing and sun damage caused by over exposure to the sun or sunbeds. From the age of around 40 the skin is less able to regenerate from sun exposure and age spots start to appear. Generally these age spots pose no health risk, however they can be unsightly and create a patchy, less youthful appearance. Freckling and age spots are successfully lightened or removed with either Laser or Intense Pulse Light (IPL).

This treatment is a relatively quick and easy procedure with results often achieved after a single session or just a few sessions. The light targets areas of excess pigment safely breaking down the excess melanin. The area darkens in the first few days after treatment and then the excess melanin sheds naturally away.
