To ensure optimal results and minimise the risk of side effects:

• Avoid sun exposure, tanning (including self-tanner), and solariums for at least 2 weeks pre-treatment.
  
  
• Discontinue retinoids, exfoliants, and Vitamin C serums 3–5 days before your appointment.
  
  
• Do not wax or undergo other resurfacing treatments in the area for at least 7 days prior.
  
  
• Please inform your dermal therapist of any medications, recent skin treatments, or active infections.
  
  
• Let your clinician know if you’ve had recent cosmetic treatments or changes to your skincare routine.

Following your treatment:

• Apply a gentle, soothing moisturiser as advised by your therapist.
  
  
• Avoid active skincare products (acids, retinoids, Vitamin C) for 3–5 days.
  
  
• Avoid direct sun exposure and wear a broad-spectrum SPF daily.
  
  
• Do not pick or exfoliate flaking pigment—allow skin to shed naturally.
  
  
• You may experience redness, warmth, or mild darkening of pigment before it fades.
  
  
• Keep skin hydrated with a calming moisturiser.
  
  
• Mild redness may occur post-treatment and typically subsides within a few hours.

Pigmentation laser treatments use advanced technology to target and break down excess melanin in the skin. At Pelle, we use the Cutera system to safely and effectively treat pigmentation while preserving the health of surrounding tissue.

This treatment is ideal for common concerns like sunspots, freckles, age spots, and uneven skin tone, particularly those caused by prolonged sun exposure or hormonal changes. Living on the Sunshine Coast means many of us are exposed to higher UV levels, which makes managing pigmentation a key part of skin health.

Most skin types can benefit from pigmentation laser, but an initial consultation is required to ensure suitability and safety. Clients with melasma or deeper pigment types may require a tailored approach.

Yes, we strongly recommend a full-body skin check with your GP or dermatologist prior to any pigmentation treatment. This ensures that all pigmented lesions are safe to treat and not suspicious or requiring further investigation.

It’s ideal for sunspots, freckles, age spots, and uneven pigmentation caused by sun exposure or hormonal changes.

Some pigmentation can be treated in 1–2 sessions, while deeper or more widespread pigmentation may require a series of treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart.

Downtime is minimal. You may notice temporary redness, slight swelling, or darkening of the pigment before it flakes away within a few days.

You can expect a gradual fading of unwanted pigmentation such as sun spots, freckles, or uneven skin tone. After each session, treated areas may initially darken before flaking off or fading over the following days. With a series of treatments, most clients notice a clearer, more even complexion and a visible improvement in skin clarity and radiance. Individual results vary depending on the depth and type of pigmentation, as well as your skin type and post-treatment care. Your dermal therapist will guide you on a personalised plan to achieve optimal results.

All pigmentation laser treatments are performed by our highly experienced and qualified dermal therapists, ensuring your treatment is safe, effective, and tailored to your skin.
