About Laser Treatment for Sun Damaged Skin

This treatment is ideal for patients concerned with:

  • Sun spots and age spots
  • Uneven skin tone
  • Dull or lacklustre skin
  • Fine lines and early ageing
  • Skin texture irregularities
  • Mild redness or vascular damage

This treatment uses targeted laser energy to break down areas of excess pigmentation and stimulate collagen production deep within the skin. It helps lift sunspots, even out tone, smooth texture, and reduce redness caused by chronic sun exposure. By gently heating the deeper skin layers, the laser triggers your body’s natural repair process without harming the surface. The result is clearer, brighter, and healthier-looking skin over time.
