Pigmentation: Types & Advanced Laser Treatments
What is Pigmentation?
Pigmentation refers to skin discolouration caused by excess melanin — the pigment responsible for skin colour. When melanin is unevenly distributed or overproduced, it results in dark spots, patches, or uneven skin tone.
How It Works
A super-fine laser fibre is gently placed under your skin through tiny entry points. The laser delivers precise heat that:
- Contracts skin instantly
- Melts small pockets of fat
- Boosts collagen production for months after treatment
Because it works from the inside out, results look natural, smooth, and long-lasting.
1470nm – Deep Tightening & Fat Melting
- Works on deeper layers of skin & fat
- Highly absorbed by water 💧 in tissues for gentle, even heating
- Perfect for fat reduction (double chin, jowls, neck, small body areas)
- Stimulates strong collagen for firmer, lifted skin
980nm – Surface Perfection & Vascular Boost
- Targets more superficial layers of skin ✨
- Absorbed by haemoglobin ❤️ to seal small vessels & reduce bruising
- Improves skin tone & texture
- Ideal for fine tightening & contour definition
Why Use Both Wavelengths?
Think of them as a power duo:
- 1470nm = deep sculpting, glow-boosting
- 980nm = surface smoothing & fat reduction
Together, they deliver smoother, firmer & more contoured results – inside and out.

Rosacea
Rosacea is a chronic skin condition that causes redness, flushing, visible blood vessels, and sometimes acne-like bumps on the face. The laser therapy offers visible, lasting relief from its symptoms.
Common Signs of Rosacea
- Persistent facial redness
- Flushing or blushing
- Visible small blood vessels
- Red, acne-like bumps
- Skin sensitivity or burning
- Eye dryness or irritation
Triggers to Avoid
Sun exposure, spicy foods, hot drinks, alcohol, stress, and extreme temperatures can worsen rosacea. Identifying and avoiding personal triggers is key.
How Laser Treatment Helps
Laser therapy targets visible blood vessels and inflammation using light energy to calm and clear the skin. Results are noticeable within a few sessions.
We Use: IPL (Intense Pulsed Light): Reduces flushing and redness
Vascular Lasers: Target stubborn or deeper blood vessels
Benefits of Laser Therapy
- Non-invasive & safe
- Reduces redness and capillaries
- Improves overall skin tone
- Minimal downtime

Banish Thread Veins — Reveal Your Glow
Thread veins — sometimes called spider veins — are tiny, visible blood vessels just beneath the skin’s surface. They can appear red, purple, or blue, most often on the face, legs, and ankles, but can occur anywhere.
They’re not usually dangerous, but they can be bothersome cosmetically.
Why They Appear
Several factors can cause or worsen thread veins:
- Genetics — a strong hereditary link
- Sun exposure — UV rays weaken vessel walls over time
- Age — skin becomes thinner, making vessels more visible
- Hormonal changes — pregnancy, menopause, or birth control
- Lifestyle — prolonged standing, hot environments, alcohol, or high-impact exercise
- Medical conditions — rosacea, injuries, or circulation problems
If Left Untreated
While small thread veins are usually harmless, ignoring them can sometimes lead to:
- Gradual increase in number and size of visible veins
- Skin redness and uneven tone becoming more permanent
- Possible itching, irritation, or swelling in affected areas
- In leg veins, possible link to poor circulation or underlying venous insufficiency
- Early treatment can make removal easier and prevent progression.
Treatment Options
There’s no “one-size-fits-all” approach — the best treatment depends on vein size, depth, and location:
- Laser Therapy — Ideal for fine, superficial facial and leg veins.
- Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) — Effective for diffuse redness or multiple tiny vessels.
- Microsclerotherapy — A tiny injection that seals off small leg veins (not used on the face).
- Electrolysis / Thermocoagulation — Uses heat to close off tiny vessels.
How We Help
When you come to see us, we don’t just treat “what you see.” We look at why the veins are there and what will work best for your skin.
- For many people, the answer is laser treatment — gentle, precise, and non-invasive.
- Nd:YAG Laser (1064nm) – great for deeper blue/purple leg veins
- KTP Laser (532nm) – perfect for fine red facial veins
- Pulsed Dye Laser (PDL) – wonderful for diffused redness or rosacea-linked veins
Why We Use Laser Treatment
Modern vascular lasers are precise and gentle, targeting only the blood vessel without harming surrounding skin.

Tattoo Removal
Unwanted tattoos can affect confidence or limit new aesthetic goals — but they don’t have to be permanent.
At Skin & Scar Care Clinic, we offer advanced tattoo correction and removal using state-of-the-art laser technology to fade or completely remove tattoos safely and effectively, with minimal discomfort and downtime.
Our clinic specialises in multi-wavelength laser systems, including the PICO Laser and Q-Switched Nd:YAG Laser, allowing precise targeting of different ink pigments for optimal clearance and skin protection.
Why Choose Laser Tattoo Removal?
Laser tattoo removal is the gold-standard, clinically proven method for breaking down tattoo pigment without damaging surrounding skin.
It works by delivering short bursts of high-energy light into the ink particles beneath the skin. These particles are shattered into microscopic fragments, which are then naturally cleared away by your body’s immune system over the following weeks.
Over a series of sessions, the tattoo fades progressively — until it becomes significantly lighter or disappears completely.
Indications — When to Consider Tattoo Correction
- Laser tattoo removal is suitable for clients who:
- Wish to remove an unwanted tattoo permanently.
- Plan a tattoo cover-up and need existing ink lightened first.
- Have uneven or poorly executed tattoo work.
- Experience tattoo regret or professional restrictions.
- Have pigment migration from older cosmetic tattoos (e.g., eyebrows, lips).
Treatment Options at Skin & Scar Care Clinic
We tailor every treatment to the colour, age, and depth of your tattoo.
1️⃣ PICO Laser Removal (Picosecond Technology)
Our PICO Laser delivers ultra-short energy pulses (trillionths of a second), breaking ink into even smaller particles than traditional systems — ideal for multi-coloured tattoos and faster fading.
- Effective for stubborn ink and fine detailing.
- Fewer sessions may be required.
- Reduced risk of heat-related skin damage.
2️⃣ Q-Switched Nd:YAG Laser Removal
- A trusted, time-tested technology for black, blue, and dark-coloured inks.
- Deep-penetrating 1064 nm wavelength targets dark pigments effectively.
- The 532 nm setting treats red, orange, and lighter tones.
- Safe for most skin types with minimal downtime.
3️⃣ Combination Correction Treatments
For complex tattoos or semi-permanent makeup, we may combine laser removal with skin rejuvenation therapies (e.g., CO₂ resurfacing or carboxytherapy) to improve skin texture after pigment clearance.
Laser Option for Different Tattoo Colours
- Black / Dark Blue Nd:YAG 1064 nm (Q-Switched / PICO)
- Red / Orange. Nd:YAG 532 nm
- Green Alexandrite 755 nm or PICO 532 nm
- Light BluePICO 755 nm
- Yellow / WhitePartial response (may require multiple sessions; some inks resist laser energy)
Contraindications — Who Should Avoid the Treatment. Laser tattoo removal may not be suitable if you:
- Are pregnant or breastfeeding.
- Have active infections, eczema, or open wounds at the site.
- Are prone to keloid or hypertrophic scarring.
- Have very dark or recent tans.
- Have tattoos containing metallic or fluorescent pigments (these may darken temporarily).
A comprehensive consultation and patch test are performed before treatment to ensure safety and predict response.
Your Treatment Journey
1. Consultation & Patch Test
Your journey begins with a detailed assessment by our qualified clinician. We review your tattoo’s colour, depth, ink type, and skin tone, then perform a test pulse to determine your skin’s response.
2. Treatment Session
Protective eyewear is provided to both client and practitioner. The laser handpiece is applied to the tattoo, delivering short, rapid pulses of light energy. You may feel a mild snapping sensation, often described as similar to an elastic band flick — topical numbing or cooling can be used for comfort.
3. Post-Treatment Cooling
A soothing gel or cold compress is applied to reduce heat and redness immediately after treatment.
4. Recovery & Aftercare
Redness and mild swelling are normal for 24–48 hours. Tiny scabs or frosting (white spots) may appear temporarily. Avoid scratching or picking. Over the next 4–6 weeks, the body naturally clears fragmented ink particles.
Sessions are spaced every 6–8 weeks for optimal healing and pigment clearance.
What to Expect
Immediately after treatment:
- Mild redness, swelling, or whitening (frosting) of the tattoo area.
- Temporary sensitivity or warmth, similar to sunburn.
In the following weeks:
- Gradual fading of the tattoo as ink particles are cleared.
- Each session results in progressive lightening.
Final results
Most clients see significant fading after 4–8 sessions, depending on tattoo size, colour, and depth.
Complete removal may take longer for multi-coloured or densely inked designs.
Aftercare Advice
- Keep the area clean and dry for 48 hours.
- Avoid hot showers, saunas, and gym workouts for 48 hours.
- Do not pick or scratch the area.
- Apply SPF 50+ to protect from UV damage between sessions.
- Avoid retinol or exfoliating creams until fully healed.
