Pigmentation and Sun Damage Treatment Hervey Bay

Pigmentation, also called pigmented lesions are disturbances in the skin’s colour. Some of the most common concerns in Hervey Bay are age spots, freckles, sun damage and melasma. We use the GentleMax Pro and the PicoWay, both are medical grade lasers from Syneron Candela to treat pigment concerns. The GentleMax Pro targets the melanin content of the skin to even out skin colour and tone and is excellent for lighter skin. The PicoWay is the latest in pigmentation removal for all skin types, light through dark.

Both lasers have been rewarded with international rewards as the most recommended lasers used by physicians worldwide.

Some of the concerns we can evaluate and treat on your face or body include:

• Lentigines – Freckles on face and décolletage.
• Solar Lentigines – Sun spots, age spots, liver spots. Solar lentigenes are caused by sun exposure.
• Café au lait Macules – Flat pigmented birthmarks
• Melasma – Often called the “mask of pregnancy”, melasma is caused by hormonal changes, primarily during pregnancy and shows up as grey or brown patches on either side of the face

The GentleMax Pro has a patented pigmentation hand piece to target and eliminate brown spots, red spots, freckles and age spots from your skin without impacting the underlying blood vessels.

The GentleMax Pro uses a long pulse laser platform that combines one of the fastest and most powerful 755 nm Alexandrite lasers for high performance treatment capabilities, resulting in an extremely fast treatment compared to other machines.

If you have had IPL (intense pulsed light) treatments on your freckles or age spots, you will know this is extremely painful. The GentleMax Pro is not only faster and more effective at treating pigmented lesions, it is less painful as well. ­­Due to the heat generated, IPL can actually exacerbate certain pigment concerns.
