Skin pigmentation refers to the colour of your skin, which is largely determined by a natural pigment called melanin. Melanin is produced by cells called melanocytes, and your skin naturally produces more melanin when exposed to the sun as a protective response.
Hyperpigmentation occurs when too much melanin is produced, causing areas of skin to appear darker than the surrounding skin. In some cases, pigmentation can also appear lighter.
Sun exposure, ageing, hormonal changes and skin inflammation or injury can all contribute to freckles, age spots and uneven skin tone.
Laser Pigment Treatment is a non-invasive, cosmetic procedure that uses focused light energy to target and break down excess melanin (the dark pigment in skin). It may help to clear sun spots, freckles, age spots, and uneven skin tone.
At MP Skin Aesthetics, we use laser treatments based on photothermolysis, where specific laser wavelengths selectively target pigmentation while minimising damage to the surrounding skin.
The laser breaks down the pigment, allowing the treated spots to gradually fade over 10-14 days. Ideal for addressing sun damage, pigmentation and unwanted spots.
Laser pigment treatment may help rejuvenate your skin by safely and effectively reducing the appearance of freckles, pigmentation and post-trauma pigmentation such as acne scars and age spots. Our clinicians are trained professionals who use only quality laser treatments, approved for the Australian marketplace.

Your Clinician will discuss expectations with you.
Excel V Laser – Excel V Laser treatment is incredibly safe.
Over time the controlled thermal laser rejuvenates the targeted skin layers, without harming the surrounding areas.
LED Light Therapy – LED Light Therapy is pain-free, non-invasive, soothing and rejuvenating skin treatment.
LED, or light-emitting diode therapy uses varying wavelengths of light to help increase the healing process and regenerate the skin.
LED Light Therapy also has antibacterial properties.
The degree of improvement is dependent on the spot severity, skin type, skin colour, treatment frequency and your individual desired results. Each case presents as a unique situation for the specialist Clinician. Treatments are tailored to each individual’s goals, tolerances, severity and skin type.
At MP Skin Aesthetics our Clinicians are trained in the latest specialist proven techniques and keep abreast with the latest research in skincare treatment. We strive for exceptional patient service and leading cosmetic and medical care.

Goals assessment – Your clinician will discuss with you, your medical and skin history and goals to ensure you have all the information about the procedure, and feel comfortable with the development of your individual treatment plan.
This process enables your clinician to tailor the treatment to your specific skin needs and answer any questions you may have.
Preparation before your treatment – Your clinician will cleanse the targeted areas to prepare your skin before the laser procedure. Protective eye shields are placed over your eyes. A patch test is often done beforehand.
The laser procedure – The clinician passes the laser device over the targeted skin. You may feel a quick snapping sensation, like a warm rubber band hitting the skin.
Immediate reaction – The treated spots immediately look darker, frosted, or slightly red and swollen.
After your treatment – Your Clinician will cleanse the treatment areas and follow up with an application of moisturiser and sunscreen.
Procedure length – The preparation and procedure usually takes between 20-30 minutes.
Potential results – Results are visible usually around 10-14 days as the skin sheds and renews with lighter looking spots. Some areas may require repeat treatments.
When performed correctly by a highly trained clinician at MP Skin Aesthetics, Laser Treatments are very safe. Combining training and practical experience with high quality Laser Treatments are crucial to achieving great results.
All new patients will need a consultation before any work is undertaken to assess your needs, develop an appropriate treatment plan and discuss the risks and results.
Here is a checklist of items to be aware of:
The benefits of our Laser Treatments include:
At MP Skin Aesthetics we only use the highest quality Laser Treatments approved by the Australian Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA).
What happens during your treatment – At MP Skin Aesthetics we work hard to ensure you have all the information you need to help you make a decision and feel comfortable with your individual treatment plan. Your Clinician will discuss with you your goals and assess your treatment needs.
This process enables your clinician to tailor the treatment to your specific skin condition needs and target the areas for treatment.
Laser Pigmentation Procedure:
Step 1: Skin Consultation – We will discuss your concerns and explain the treatment process and aftercare. During the consultation your Clinician will recommend and discuss any products you may need to use prior to your procedure, to ensure your skin is well prepped to reduce risks and to ensure optimal results from your treatment.
Step 2: Skin Preparation – Your skin is thoroughly cleansed. You will experience a warming flicking sensation as the laser passes over the treatment area. Most patients experience minimal discomfort, sometimes described as if a rubber band is being lightly flicked onto the skin.
Step 3: Aftercare – After your treatment a thin layer of cooling serum, and sunscreen is applied to the skin. There will likely be some redness and mild swelling, slight darkening of pigmentation in the skin following a treatment. Mineral make up can be applied to the skin when the heat has resolved.
Detailed aftercare will be advised at the time of the consultation as it will be tailored to your skin type.
Our Laser Treatments can be used on:
Laser Treatments for the vast majority of patients:
You may feel slightly uncomfortable while receiving a laser treatment.
If you’re concerned about pain, we can test a small section of your skin to see how your body reacts before undertaking the full treatment process.
Laser Treatment – You may experience a small change in the pigment of your skin post-treatment. This will go away in time. Your skin may be pink immediately after your laser treatment.
Your Clinician will advise you of your aftercare treatment plan.
Skin Assessment – Your skin Clinician will assess your skin and recommend the best treatments to achieve your goals.
They will also determine how many treatments you may require and help you with a home care routine to assist with the results.
In order to best understand your needs, please book in for a consultation with one of our Clinicians. A consultation will allow two way communication so we can assess your needs and develop the most appropriate treatment to help bring your skin to its full potential.
