Laser Pigmentation Removal uses a precise beam of light that targets excess melanin in the skin. This treatment safely and effectively reduces the appearance of unwanted pigmentation such as sunspots and freckles. The laser energy breaks down the pigment without harming the surrounding skin, leaving your complexion clearer and more even
What is Pigmentation
Pigmentation is caused by an excessive amount of melanin found in certain cells on the body’s skin. These cells usually carry a higher level of “melanocytes”, which produce the melanin that causes individual areas to become discoloured. There are numerous factors that can cause the appearance of pigmentation. The most common is excessive sun exposure and hereditary factors but it can also be caused by hormonal changes such as pregnancy and the contraceptive pill.
Pigmentation is a skin discolouration that appears as a brown or pinkish marks on the face and body that are darker than your natural skin colour. Almost everyone has some form of pigmentation, whether that be freckles, sun spots, birthmarks, or moles.

How it works
Laser Pigmentation Removal uses targeted light to safely break down excess pigment in the skin. The laser energy is absorbed by melanin (the pigment that causes dark spots), shattering it into tiny fragments without harming surrounding skin.
After treatment, the pigment will darken and form a light crust, which naturally flakes away within 7–14 days, revealing a clearer, more even complexion. Most clients need 2–6 sessions, depending on the type of pigmentation being treated.
Please note: This treatment is suitable for Fitzpatrick skin types I–III only. For best results, it’s important not to pick or scratch the treated areas while they heal.
Depending on the type of pigmentation being treated, clients will need between 2-6 treatments. The effectiveness of the treatment will be determined by the type, colour and depth of the pigmentation along with the condition of the skin. A test patch will be performed prior to undergoing treatment and is reviewed to determine the likely success of the treatment. Complete clearing of the affected area may not be possible and will depend upon the type, area and colour of the lesion.

If the recommended post-treatment procedures are followed and the treated area is cared for and correctly maintained then the pigmentation is unlikely to return. Pigmentation caused by sun exposure may gradually reappear over time however SPF and tyrosinase inhibitors can significantly reduce this.
It can depend on the type and size of the area being treated, most treatments can be completed within 5 to 30 minutes.
The heat from the laser is concentrated at a superficial level so it is likely that the client will experience some discomfort while the treatment is being performed. The treated area can feel like sunburn for up to 48 hours afterwards, however cold packs and SILK Soothing Gel should be used to reduce redness and inflammation.
Following the treatment, the pigmentation will initially appear darker and can continue to deepen in colour for 48 hours post-treatment. After this time the pigmentation will then being to crust and gradually flake away. This process can take up to 14 days depending on the condition of the skin prior to treatment.
Most clients report a 70% or greater improvement over the duration of their course of treatment.
Your technician will need to determine the exact area that needs to be treated and can provide you with a personalised quote at your complimentary consultation. A full price list is available on our website
All areas of the body can be treated, but most clients will treat areas often exposed to the sun such as the face, neck, décolletage and hands.
The medical grade lasers cannot cause permanent scarring as it doesn’t cause damage to the Dermis layer of the skin. Any damage caused during treatment is superficial and will disappear with time if looked after appropriately.
It is extremely important not to affect the pigmentation of the skin in any way prior to or after the laser treatments. Such exposure can cause hypo and hyperpigmentation, impairing the effects of the laser treatment. Please avoid the sun or solariums for 4 weeks prior to treatment and at least 4-8 weeks after treatment. Be sure to also apply SPF regularly while you are exposed to the sun and do also not use any form of tanning throughout your treatment, including tanning sprays or lotions. It is due to this, the majority of our patients undergo pigmentation removal during the autumn and winter months when UV burning is at its lowest.
All clients undergoing Pigmentation treatment at SILK will be required to prepare the skin 2-4 weeks prior to undergoing laser treatment in order to ensure client safety and achieve the best possible results. You will be required to use the following products:
TYROSINASE INHIBITOR

VITAMIN B
- Increase Hydration in the skin
SUNSCREEN

There are only a few medications that could possibly affect the treatments of laser pigment removal. It is recommended that some acne medication be ceased 6 months prior to treatment. Please speak to your technician if you have any concerns. Some medications may have blood thinning or photo-sensitising properties which can increase the risk of an adverse reaction, so it is important to bring along a comprehensive list of any medications or supplements you are on to discuss with your technician prior to treatment.
WA, TAS & QLD clients will need a Medical Opinion Letter – Skin Check for this treatment.*
Freckles are small, light brown or tan spots that commonly appear on areas exposed to the sun, such as the face, arms, neck, back, and chest. They often darken or become more noticeable in the warmer months and may fade during cooler months as the skin naturally renews.Freckles can vary in shape, often appearing round but sometimes merging into larger patches. They are a hereditary trait and are more common in people with lighter skin, hair, and eyes.
Age Spots are flat, harmless patches of darker skin that typically appear later in life due to repeated sun exposure. They are most common on the face, arms, legs, and the backs of the hands. These spots develop when the skin produces too much melanin, the pigment responsible for skin colour. They can range from light brown to very dark brown or even black, and vary in size from a few millimetres to several centimetres. While usually flat, some may feel slightly dry or scaly. Although age spots can sometimes resemble melanoma, they have distinct features such as well-defined edges and a uniform appearance. If you’re ever unsure about a spot on your skin, it’s always best to seek professional advice.
