Pigmentation and sun damage treatment in Hervey Bay

Pigmentation can appear as freckles, age spots, sun damage, melasma or uneven patches of colour. Hervey Bay Skin assesses the type of pigment and your skin before recommending laser or professional skin care options.

Which pigmentation concerns may be treated?

Different pigment conditions behave differently and should not be treated as though they are the same. The clinic may use PicoWay, GentleMax Pro or professional skin care for suitable concerns. Correct assessment is particularly important for melasma and darker skin types, where heat and inflammation can sometimes worsen pigmentation.

What a consultation covers

Your consultation looks at the pattern and depth of pigment, skin type, sun exposure, medical history, medicines and previous treatments. This helps determine whether a laser option, skin care plan or referral is most appropriate.

Pigmentation treatment

This treatment may help with

  • Freckles and sun spots

Suitability and safety

Some skin lesions require medical diagnosis rather than cosmetic treatment. Suspicious, new or changing spots should be assessed appropriately before any cosmetic laser procedure.
