The skin’s pigment is controlled in the epidermis by cells called melanocytes. When exposed to the sun, they release a substance called melanin into the skin to protect our DNA from UV damage—a process commonly known as a tan.

But as we age, combined with constant UV exposure, these melanocytes can sometimes start to malfunction, leading to those unsightly spots.

But UV exposure isn’t the only bad guy when it comes to the causes of skin pigmentation. Hormones are also a major factor, leading to a condition called melasma, which appears as a dark ‘mask’ on the face during pregnancy or while taking the pill.

I have hyperpigmentation problems, what can I do?

Another cause of skin pigmentation is vitamin A, or retinoid creams. These creams can sometimes cause photosensitivity of the skin and an increase in dark marks when the skin is exposed to the sun.

At Laser By Sia, we have methods for removing pigmentation no matter what the cause, on all skin tones. So visit our clinics now for a full skin analysis and treatment program. Now located in Castle Hill, Bondi Junction and serving Surry Hills with our Sydney CBD clinic.

Excess pigment, or hyperpigmentation, is caused by a malfunction of the skin’s melanocytes, or the cells that control the production of the melanin in the skin.

As we age, and after years of UV exposure, the melanin starts to clump in our skin, leading to age spots, freckles, sun spots and melasma.

Removing pigmentation is very difficult as it is produced down in the skin’s lower epidermal layers. Pigment is superficial, but unless it is dealt with correctly it will return, and most over the counter products are either chemical or cause photo toxicity.

But Laser By Sia has recently imported the latest in laser pigmentation removal technology. This technology precisely targets the excess pigment and destroys it where it occurs.

For those with darker skin tones who cannot use laser, Laser By Sia has a range of medical grade pigmentation creams that actually get down to the pigment and fade it from the inside out, leaving your skin clear and pigment-free over time.

Visit Laser By Sia in Sydney’s CBD, Castle Hill and now treating customers in Double Bay with our Bondi Junction clinic.

Using the latest in laser technology and medical-grade skin care, we can not only help you get rid of unwanted sun spots, we can also assist you in ensuring that they may never return.

Sun spots are caused by a malfunction of our melanocytes—the cells that produce the melanin in our skin. As we age, and after a few too many sunbaking sessions, the melanin starts to clump in the skin, causing freckles, dark spots, sun spots and age spots.

Many people find these spots annoying, as they seemingly appear out of nowhere. But our laser technology very cleverly targets this excess melanin and destroys it using heat. After your first session you will form a microcrust over this pigment, which naturally peels off, leaving yummy, spot-free skin underneath.

And if you follow the post treatment regime recommended by your clinician, you can avoid sunspots in the future.

So contact Laser By Sia for an end to sun spots and the beginning of smooth, clear skin! We are now located in Bondi Junction, Sydney’s CBD and Castle Hill.

But before you go down the laser path to lighten skin colour, there are a few very important things you need to know.

At Laser By Sia, we would never recommend anyone try and lighten their natural skin colour, particularly not with laser. Why? Because your skin tone is beautiful and a part of who you are, and because laser has a number of drawbacks for those with darker skin tones.

First and foremost, no laser technology will lighten the natural colour of your skin. Period. No matter what other clinics may tell you, laser does not and will not lighten your natural skin tone. Instead, laser simply removes excess pigment (hyperpigmentation) that has built up over time from hormones, medication or trauma, or typical UV induced pigmentation clumps like freckles and age spots, from the skin.

Secondly, using laser on a darker skin tone that has not been adequately prepped can lead to scarring or a condition called post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. This is when the skin releases extra pigment as a part of its inflammatory response when injured. These marks are incredibly hard to get rid of.

If you really want to lighten your natural skin colour, then visit Laser By Sia for an honest assessment using our new skin analysis technology. From there, we can design a program using our chemical-free skin care to lighten skin colour over time. Visit us in Castle Hill, Bondi Junction and Sydney City.

Melanin determines our skin colour and is produced by melanocytes in the epidermis. Our melanin is a photo protectant, which means it absorbs harmful UV radiation, protecting us from DNA damage.

But after a lifetime of sun exposure, our melanocytes start to malfunction, causing the melanin in our skin to clump. This skin pigmentation disorder is more commonly known as freckles, age spots, sun spots and liver spots.

Previously, once these age spots started to appear, there wasn’t much that could be done except for potentially harmful skin bleaching using chemicals that are banned in other countries.

Is the skin bleaching product you use harmful to your skin? Find out here.

But now, thanks to Laser By Sia, the latest in US laser technology is available to treat excess skin pigmentation and restore the even, smooth appearance of the skin.

Our precise laser technology targets the excess melanin and destroys it. And only a week after your treatment, this pigment peels off to reveal far less pigment underneath. If you have a darker skin tone that can’t be lasered, we have natural, chemical-free skin care that reduces excess pigmentation over time.

So if you have a bit of extra skin pigmentation from a lifetime in the sun, visit us at Laser By Sia.

Melanin is the substance in our skin that protects us from UV rays, and is produced by cells called melanocytes. As the body ages, melanin distribution becomes more concentrated in some areas and less controlled. Extreme UV exposure, like the kind we all get in Australia, and hormones also stimulate the melanocytes, causing them to become overactive and release excess melanin into the skin. This hyperactivity causes uneven pigmentation, age spots, and even reverse age spots where the skin pigment has disappeared.

The good news is, thanks to the latest in laser technology, you can do something about age spots!

Laser By Sia’s new laser technology targets the excess melanin in the skin precisely, and destroys it. Following your laser age spot treatment, a microcrust will develop over the treated area. This peels off in around a week to reveal skin that is virtually age spot free. And after a recommended number of age spot treatments, your age spots will be significantly reduced.

Laser By Sia’s age spots treatment can be used anywhere on the face or body, except on the eyelids.

So if you have a few spots that betray your age, visit us at Laser By Sia in Castle Hill, Bondi Junction and Sydney’s CBD.

But instead of turning to a whitening skin product to keep those freckles at bay, why not contact Laser By Sia?

Using the latest in laser technology, we can reduce freckles significantly without chemicals. And by simply using our chemical-free, medical-grade skin care, we can keep them at bay.

Whitening skin products have two major drawbacks: one is that they take a very long time to work. The other is that they contain harsh chemicals, including hydroquinone, which is actually banned in some other countries.

Laser By Sia’s whitening treatments use no chemicals whatsoever. The latest in laser technology is used to attach to the excess melanin in the skin and destroy it.  This process forms a micro crust, which peels off in a week revealing fewer freckles underneath.

If you are considering laser pigmentation removal, then it is very important to follow the post-treatment care plan recommended by your therapist. Please note that the treatment cannot be applied while you have a tan.

Contact Laser By Sia now!

And for what? The honour of slathering your face in chemicals that are banned in other countries!

That’s right, pigmentation care costs do not only involve money—much pigmentation care in Australia contains a chemical called hydroquinone, a chemical that is banned in other countries because of its adverse effects.

So rather than your pigmentation care costing you your money and your skin, why not visit a Laser By Sia clinic near you?

Laser By Sia just imported the latest laser technology from the US to quickly and effectively reduce pigmentation—so it costs you less in time, expense and skin health!

Our precise laser technology targets the excess melanin in your skin and destroys it. After a few sessions, your skin is clear of age spots, freckles, melasma and sun spots.

Laser By Sia also has all the information and care you need to prevent the pigment from returning, including physical sunscreens that are far more effective than their chemical counterparts. Visit Laser By Sia now!

Hyperpigmentation can describe any kind of excess pigmentation in the skin, including age spots, skin spots, liver spots, sun spots, freckles and melasma. Hyperpigmentation can age the skin prematurely and require daily makeup application to hide these ‘dirty’ looking marks.
