What is Laser Pigmentation Removal?

Laser pigmentation removal is a safe and effective treatment that targets areas of unwanted pigmentation such as sun spots, age spots, freckles, and uneven skin tone. At La Belle Forme in Glasgow, we use advanced laser technology to break down excess melanin in the skin, allowing your body to naturally clear away the pigmentation over time.

This non-invasive treatment is suitable for the face, hands, décolletage, and other sun-exposed areas. It is most effective on superficial pigmentation caused by sun exposure or ageing, and each treatment is tailored to your individual skin type and concerns.

During your consultation, a patch test will be performed to ensure the treatment is suitable for you, and a personalised plan will be created by our qualified practitioners.

What Happens During Treatment?

Your journey at La Belle Forme begins with a detailed consultation, where one of our experienced skin specialists will assess your pigmentation, discuss your goals, and perform a patch test.

On the day of your treatment, the area will be cleansed, and protective eyewear will be provided. A medical-grade laser device is then used to deliver short pulses of light energy to the pigmented areas. You may feel a warm or slightly snapping sensation during treatment, but most patients tolerate it well.

Over the following weeks, the pigmented areas will darken slightly before fading as the body naturally removes the pigment. Several sessions may be needed to achieve optimal results.

FAQ's

Most patients need between 3 to 6 sessions spaced a few weeks apart. This depends on the type and depth of pigmentation. Your practitioner will create a treatment schedule suited to your skin.

If the pigmentation is caused by sun exposure, further sun exposure may cause it to return. Ongoing skincare and sun protection are key to maintaining your results. Some people choose top-up sessions every 6–12 months.

The sensation is often described as a mild snapping feeling or warmth. Most people find the treatment comfortable. We use cooling methods to minimise discomfort during the session.

Laser is not usually recommended for melasma as it can worsen the condition. We offer alternative treatments and can advise you during your consultation.

You should avoid sun exposure, heat, and active skincare products (like retinols or exfoliants) for a few days. Always wear SPF 30+ and follow the aftercare advice provided.
