Get to Know Pigmentation Laser

Pigmentation laser treatments at Ocean Cosmetics in Perth are designed to target unwanted brown marks and uneven tone in a careful, medical setting. This may include freckles, sun spots and certain types of post inflammatory pigmentation.

Your treatment is doctor led from the start. We assess the type of pigment, its depth and pattern, and ensure any suspicious lesions are excluded or referred for medical care. We then talk through realistic expectations for fading, not erasing, and how laser fits into your overall skin journey.

Pigmentation laser is usually part of a broader plan that includes sun protection, skincare and sometimes other devices. A series of treatments is often needed, with results building gradually over time.

Benefits & Target Areas

Targets scattered freckles and discrete sun spots to help them fade.

Can support gradual lightening of marks left after acne or irritation in suitable cases.

Helps reduce patchy brown areas for a more even looking complexion.

Ideal for

This treatment is ideal for people bothered by freckles, sun spots or uneven brown patches, and for clients with stable pigment who understand that fading is gradual. It suits individuals who are willing to maintain strict sun protection and a consistent skincare routine, are open to a series of sessions with realistic outcomes, and have suitable skin types as assessed at doctor consultation.

Treatment Journey

Your doctor reviews your history, medications and previous pigment treatments. We examine your skin and the pattern of pigment, and may use dermoscopy or photography. We discuss which pigment is suitable for laser and which is not.

You are usually asked to avoid tanning, certain skincare and self tan in the area before treatment. We may start supportive skincare to help reduce the risk of post inflammatory pigment.

Spots often darken before they lift and flake away over several days. Redness and mild swelling can occur. You receive clear instructions on gentle care and strict sun protection to support a smooth recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions

Pigmentation laser can treat many freckles, sun spots and some post inflammatory pigmentation. Melasma and certain other conditions need different approaches.

Pigment often fades significantly, but complete removal is not guaranteed. New spots can also form with sun and ageing.

ost clients need several sessions, usually three or more, spaced weeks apart. Your plan is tailored to your skin and the type of pigment.

You may feel quick, hot snaps on the skin. Treatments are usually well tolerated and cooling can be used for comfort.

Treated spots may darken and feel dry or rough before they shed. Redness and mild swelling can occur for a few days.

We treat a wide range of tones, but some devices and settings are not suitable for deeper skin tones. Your doctor will select safe options for your skin.

Strong sun exposure increases the risk of new pigment. Daily sunscreen and sun smart habits are essential before, during and after treatment.

Light mineral makeup can usually be worn once the skin has settled, often the next day. Your clinician will give specific advice.

Melasma is managed differently. If we suspect melasma, we will discuss alternative treatment plans that are gentler and longer term.
