Pigmentation Laser | Cutera Excel V+

What is a Pigmentation Laser?

The Cutera Excel V+ system is an advanced laser treatment designed to target and reduce pigmentation, freckles, and discoloration on the face and body. This cutting-edge technology effectively breaks down excess melanin, helping to reveal a brighter, more even complexion with minimal downtime. Whether you're dealing with sunspots, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, or melasma, this laser treatment provides safe, effective, and long-lasting results.

How Does It Work?

The pigmentation laser works by targeting excess melanin in the skin, breaking it down into smaller particles that the body naturally eliminates. This process not only fades dark spots but also enhances overall skin brightness and uniformity. The Cutera Excel V+ system is suitable for various skin types and delivers precise, noticeable improvements with just a few sessions.

What to Expect on the Day

During your consultation, our team will assess your skin concerns and determine the best course of action for your pigmentation treatment. We offer a range of professional solutions, including:

• Pigmentation Laser Treatments – Designed to break down stubborn pigmentation for long-term results.
• Chemical Peels – A variety of peels, such as iS Clinical Prodigy Peel, Melano Pro Peel, and Jessner Peel, can be tailored to help resurface the skin and fade pigmentation.
• Homecare Pigmentation Masks & Products – We offer targeted skincare solutions, including pigment-inhibiting serums, brightening masks, and medical-grade skincare from iS Clinical and PCA Skin to maintain and enhance results at home.

How Many Treatments Are Needed?

Results vary depending on the depth and severity of pigmentation, but many clients notice visible improvements after just one session.

• Typically, we recommend 2–6 sessions spaced 4 weeks apart to achieve the best results.
• Your provider will create a customised treatment plan to ensure long-lasting clarity and even skin tone.

What to Expect After Treatment

Following a pigmentation laser session, you may experience:

• Redness & Swelling – This is temporary and usually subsides within 24–48 hours.
• Darkening of Pigmentation – Treated areas may darken before gradually peeling away over 5–7 days, revealing brighter, clearer skin.
• Sun Sensitivity – Post-treatment, your skin will be more sensitive to UV exposure, so daily SPF 50+ application is essential to prevent further pigmentation.

Enhance Your Results

For comprehensive skin rejuvenation, we recommend combining laser treatments with complementary therapies:

• Treat Multiple Areas – Address pigmentation not only on the face but also on the neck, chest, and hands for an even glow.
• Chemical Peels & Laser Combo – Pairing a pigmentation laser with a targeted peel can significantly accelerate skin renewal and improve overall brightness.
• LED Light Therapy – This can soothe post-treatment inflammation, boost skin healing, and support an even skin tone.
