The problems are often associated with sun damage from over-exposure to the sun or sunbeds and are very common in the UK. Treatment is suitable for the face or body and can diminish the appearance of pigmentation problems such as sun spots, age spots, liver spots and freckles.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ module_class=”imageright” _builder_version=”4.11.2″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”rgba(255,255,255,0.88)” background_image=”https:\/\/malmin.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/smilesheader.jpg” background_blend=”overlay” custom_padding=”||40px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.11.2″ _module_preset=”default” max_width=”820px” custom_margin=”-10px|auto|8px|auto|false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.8.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.11.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n
Freckles, age spots and other minor blemishes are caused by melanin, a substance which gives our skin its colour. When melanin gathers in one spot, it appears\u00a0as a discoloured area. \u00a0The wavelengths of light produced by laser technology are designed to be absorbed by these pigmented areas; the powerful light then \u201cshatters\u201d the pigment, causing it to be dispersed by the body\u2019s lymphatic system. The spots will gradually disappear.<\/p>\n
The treatments are specially designed for patient comfort and are safe and effective for all skin types, including dark skin.<\/p>\n

We offer a free consultation, with one of our skin experts who will discuss the treatment and any questions you have about choosing this procedure.<\/strong><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.11.2″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#c6c6c6″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.10.7″ _module_preset=”default” max_width=”800px” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.10.7″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.11.2″ _module_preset=”default” header_2_text_color=”#00acdb” custom_margin=”||10px|20px|false|false” custom_padding=”||0px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_accordion _builder_version=”4.11.2″ _module_preset=”default” toggle_font_size=”18px” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_accordion_item title=”What does it treat?” open=”on” _builder_version=”4.11.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Unlike traditional ablative laser resurfacing, which burns the outer layer of skin, this new generation of treatment does minimal damage to the outer skin layer and thus minimises redness and downtime. The ablative element of the laser happens at a deep-skin layer and uses heat to stimulate collagen production. This triggers the body\u2019s natural healing process to stimulate growth of new healthy skin tissue.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”What can it treat?” _builder_version=”4.11.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]<\/p>\n Hyperpigmentation, Freckles and Age spots.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”How does it work?” _builder_version=”4.11.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]<\/p>\n By exposing a pigmented lesion or dark spot to short pulses of visible light, the highly concentrated area of pigment know as melanin can shatter. The pigment is then absorbed by the body, making the dark patches less visible or completely destroying them.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”What can I expect during and after treatment?” _builder_version=”4.11.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]<\/p>\n Depending on your skin type (and the lesion being treated) some redness and swelling may be visible, but will usually subside around 48 hours after treatment. A normal response is that the treated area may appear darker and flake around 5-7 days later. During treatment, some patients may feel a mild discomfort, but there isn\u2019t any need for numbing agents or anaesthetic. The treatment is quick and effective, usually requiring around 3-6 sessions once every 4-6 weeks.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”How long is each treatment?” _builder_version=”4.11.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]<\/p>\n It depends which area is being treated but typically the treatment times range from 30-60 minutes. Single lesion sessions are 30 minutes, combined lesion sessions are 45 minutes and full face treatments are 60 minutes.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Am I suitable for the treatment?” _builder_version=”4.11.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]<\/p>\n Treatment is suitable for most people. However, prior to treatment a free consultation is mandatory during which a medical history and assessment of the desired treatment area is carried out. This will then allow the practitioner to determine suitability for treatment, how many sessions required and the expected results.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][\/et_pb_accordion][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Advanced Treatment For Clearer, Brighter Skin.
