How to prevent pigmentation?

Some forms of pigmentation (like age spots) are triggered with age and some (melasma) are genetic. These are difficult, if not impossible, to prevent. However, daily use of an spf 50+ sunscreen will help prevent most forms of pigmentation. Other topical serums such as those containing lactic acid or tyrosinase inhibitors also help to not only prevent pigmentation, but to also brighten the skin.

How many treatments are required?

Most brown or black spots can be reversed or lightened after 5 treatments.

Does the treatment hurt?

No, not at all. You may feel a warm feeling which dissipates after 5-10 minutes.

How frequently do I need treatments?

Treatments are performed every 2 weeks apart. Pigmentation continues to fade in between each treatment. The interval allows skin healing and fading to maximise before next treatment.
