The treatment
Lasers are only as good as the judgement behind the settings. We choose the device and energy for your skin type, the season and the specific concern — sun damage, broken capillaries, rosacea or uneven tone — and adjust them visit by visit.
Every course begins with a patch test. For deeper skin tones, we use wavelengths and protocols designed to avoid post-inflammatory pigmentation.
What it can do
- Faded sun spots, age spots and uneven pigment
- Reduced redness, flushing and visible capillaries
- Smoother texture with fractional resurfacing
- Protocols safe across a wide range of skin tones

The record
How pigment is measured
Results are photographed, not remembered: the same corner, the same lights, the same distance and angles at every visit — unretouched.
- View
- Cheek and temple
- Held constant, every visit
- Cross-polarised photography
- Same framing
- Same polarisation
- Photographed
- Baseline
- Eight weeks after the final session
The same frame each time — so a comparison shows the treatment, not the lighting.
Three pigment-laser sessions, four weeks apart. Photographed at baseline and eight weeks after the last session.
Your photographs are yours to see at any appointment. Why the photograph is the record
