Laser Skin Treatments

The Medlite C6 Medical Laser System can also treat brown spots on the skin, due to freckles, sun damage or age.

The laser is shone onto the skin and breaks up the brown pigmented particles in the cells.

The laser may cause some minor stinging, which resolves quickly after the procedure.
The treatment is quick, and multiple spots can be treated in one procedure.
After the laser treatment, the spots will look dark red, like a bruise. The pigment will then peel away within a week or two.
Some brown spots may require multiple treatments, some are resistant to treatment and some may be prone to recur.

The laser passes through the skin and stimulates collagen remodelling from the inside out. The surface skin is not ablated. There is therefore no “down time”.
The laser is virtually painless. You may feel a mild warmth or stinging on the skin. Transient redness can occur, which should resolve within an hour.
You must avoid sun exposure for 48 hours afterwards.
Multiple treatments are required – usually every 4 weeks for a series of 4 treatments.
The effect of the treatment builds over time, and continues after the series of treatments is completed.
