Lasers and Medical Grade Lightening Skin Creams are the two most common approaches in dealing with non-cancerous hyperpigmentation. Creams fade the pigmented area and are free of harmful effects, but the process takes longer. Laser treatments after a short post-treatment healing phase, can completely clear the pigment, which returns to normal skin after one week. The simple, effective and rapid results from our Medlite Q-Switched or MPX Elite Lasers will surprise and please.

Treatments can occur on skin in any region of the body.

Laser treatments are not without a slight risk of loss of pigmentation and scarring, but the choice of this treatment option depends upon the type of pigment, the choice of which laser, and the skill of the laser operator. Avail yourself of our skin consultation and rule out something sinister or discover what can be done with those unsightly blemishes you always wished weren’t there.
