Understanding Hyperpigmentation and Skin Discolouration
Hyperpigmentation is a common skin concern that affects people of all ages and skin types. This condition occurs when your skin produces excess melanin, the natural pigment responsible for your skin colour. Several factors can trigger increased melanin production, including prolonged sun exposure, hormonal fluctuations, ageing, and genetic predisposition.
Dark patches, age spots, and uneven skin tone can impact your confidence, but modern laser technology offers effective solutions. Our Biolase fractional laser treatment provides a minimally invasive approach to treating various pigmentation concerns, delivering visible results with minimal downtime.

The fractional approach means faster healing and virtually no recovery time, allowing you to return to your daily activities immediately after treatment.
Pigmentation Skin Treatment FQAs
How many treatments will I need for pigmentation removal?
Most patients see significant improvement after just one or two fractional laser sessions. However, the exact number depends on the severity of your pigmentation, skin type, and the specific condition being treated. During your free consultation, we’ll assess your skin and create a personalised treatment plan.
Is fractional laser treatment painful?
The Biolase fractional laser is designed for patient comfort. Most people describe the sensation as mild warmth or tingling. The treatment is exceptionally gentle compared to traditional laser methods, and no anaesthesia is typically required.
What is the recovery time after pigmentation treatment?
One of the major advantages of fractional laser treatment is minimal downtime. You may experience slight redness or sensitivity immediately after treatment, similar to mild sunburn, which typically subsides within a few hours to a day. You can resume normal activities right away.
Are the results from laser pigmentation treatment permanent?
Results can be long-lasting when combined with proper sun protection and skincare. However, new pigmentation can develop with continued sun exposure or hormonal changes. We recommend using broad-spectrum SPF daily and following a good skincare routine to maintain your results.
Who is a good candidate for fractional laser pigmentation treatment?
Fractional laser treatment is suitable for most skin types and tones. During your complimentary consultation, we’ll evaluate your skin condition, medical history, and aesthetic goals to determine if this treatment is right for you.
