Treatment to safely and effectively target dark spots, melasma, sun damage, and post-acne marks — helping you achieve a brighter, more even complexion.
Suitable for all skin tones (Fitzpatrick I-VI), these evidence-based treatments are non-invasive, require minimal downtime, and deliver visible results over time.
Whether you’re struggling with hormonal pigmentation, sun-induced age spots, or stubborn discoloration, Dr. Kravvas creates a bespoke treatment plan tailored to your unique skin type, pigmentation depth, and lifestyle.
Pigmentation refers to the natural colour of your skin, governed by the pigment melanin. When melanin is unevenly distributed or overproduced in specific areas, it can result in:
Dark patches
Freckles
Age spots
Blotchy skin
These changes are typically harmless, but they can be distressing and difficult to conceal — particularly when affecting the face, hands, or décolletage.
We treat a wide range of pigmentation issues, including:
Melasma – Hormonal pigmentation often triggered by pregnancy, birth control, or menopause
Sun Spots / Age Spots – Caused by UV exposure and visible as small brown patches
Freckles – Common in fair skin, can darken with sun exposure
Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH) – Dark marks left after acne, eczema, or skin trauma
Pigmentation is caused by excess melanin production, which may be triggered by:
Sun exposure and tanning – UV rays stimulate melanin, resulting in dark spots or uneven tone
Hormonal changes – Pregnancy, menopause, or oral contraceptives can cause melasma
Acne or inflammation – Healing blemishes or skin irritation may leave behind dark marks
Genetics – Your skin type and family history may predispose you to pigmentation concerns
Identifying the cause is key to creating an effective laser pigmentation treatment plan.
Targeted Energy, Visible Results
Laser treatment works by delivering concentrated energy into the skin, breaking down clusters of excess melanin without damaging surrounding tissue. Your body naturally clears away these pigment fragments, gradually revealing clearer, more even-toned skin.
Dr. Kravvas uses a combination of top-tier technologies like:
Unlike traditional Q-switched lasers that rely primarily on photo-thermal energy. In contrast, picosecond lasers use photo-acoustic (or photo-mechanical) energy, delivering ultra-short bursts that break pigment apart through vibration rather than heat. This reduces the risk of inflammation, burns, or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation — making it especially beneficial for patients with darker skin tones or sensitive skin.
These systems are non-ablative and safe for all skin types, including darker tones.
Laser pigmentation treatment is suitable for individuals who want to correct:
This treatment is not advised for those who are pregnant, actively experiencing skin flare-ups, or highly sensitive to light-based therapies.
Laser therapy can be safely adapted for Asian skin tones and deeper complexions using the appropriate settings.
Schedule your consultation with Dr. Kravvas to discover if advanced laser pigmentation treatment is the right fit for your skin type and concerns.
Your journey begins with an expert assessment by Dr. Kravvas, who will evaluate your skin type, pigmentation severity, and history. A patch test might be performed to ensure safe treatment.
The laser is gently passed over your skin. Most patients describe the sensation as a warm flick or snap. Numbing cream is available for added comfort.
You’ll receive a personalised skincare plan, including soothing creams and SPF. Redness and mild flaking may occur, with improvement seen in 2–4 weeks.
Laser pigmentation treatments are non-invasive, so there’s little to no downtime:
Avoid direct sun exposure, exfoliating products, and active skincare ingredients for at least 5 days post-treatment.
The number of sessions required can vary significantly depending on the type of pigmentation, your skin type, and your individual goals.
Mild pigmentation such as superficial sunspots may respond well after just 1–3 sessions
Deeper conditions like melasma or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) often require 4–10 sessions for optimal results
Treatments are typically spaced 4 weeks apart to allow the skin to recover and respond
Your personalised treatment plan will be finalised after your consultation, ensuring your care is precisely tailored to your skin’s needs and response.
Each session starts from £400, depending on the area treated and the technologies involved. Most treatment plans combine multiple modalities, such as laser therapy, chemical peels, and mesotherapy, to maximise results and target pigmentation at different levels of the skin.
Combination treatments are tailored to your pigmentation type, skin tone, and goals
Pricing varies for face, neck, chest, hands, or combined areas
