Lasers are commonly used for pigmentary disorders, such as uneven skin tone, or unwanted pigmentation like freckles, solar lentigines and melasma. Laser therapy is not only not invasive, it is also able to target specific pigmentation without damaging the surrounding skin.
GentleMax Pro® and PicoWay® are modern technologies by Candela USA that are suitable in treating pigmentation issues. They employ a targeted laser light to break up the melanin clusters causing the pigmentation. This process gradually lightens the pigmented area over time.
These systems are versatile as they can be used on different types of skin and pigmentation disorders. Multiple sessions may be required to achieve the desired outcome.
You can use your Integrated Shield Plans to pay for certain procedures. Speak to us to learn more, and you’ll be surprised at how affordable private healthcare can be.

Yes, when performed by a qualified dermatologist, laser treatments for pigmentation are generally safe, although side effects such as redness, swelling, and skin sensitivity may occur.
The number of sessions required depends on the severity and type of pigmentation. On average, patients might need between 2 to 6 sessions.
Pigmentation can return, especially if one does not protect their skin from the sun or if an underlying condition causing the pigmentation is not managed.
Some patients might experience a mild stinging sensation during the procedure, but the process is generally tolerable. Topical anaesthetic creams can be applied to minimise discomfort.
