Freckles, Pigmented Lesions & General Pigmentation
Doctor Maria Clinic425a Hampton Street, Hampton VIC 3188Show on map
A targeted laser treatment designed to reduce freckles, sunspots, age spots and other suitable benign pigmentation. Fotona StarWalker technology delivers precise, short laser pulses that selectively target excess melanin and break it into smaller particles, which are gradually cleared by the body. The wavelength and treatment settings are customised according to the type, colour and depth of the pigmentation. All areas will be assessed for suitability before treatment. Any lesion that is new, changing, atypical or cannot be confidently identified will require medical assessment before treatment.

Treatment Information
- Treatment Type
- Q-switched 532 nm KTP and 1064 nm Nd:YAG photoacoustic laser treatment
- Results
- Freckles, sunspots and areas of excess pigmentation gradually become lighter and less visible, creating a clearer and more evenly toned complexion. Improvement may be noticeable after the first treatment, with the final result continuing to develop as fragmented pigment is cleared over the following weeks and months.
- Longevity of Effect
- Long-lasting reduction in treated pigmentation. New or recurrent pigmentation may develop over time, so ongoing sun protection and maintenance treatments may be recommended.
- Number of Sessions
- One or more treatments, depending on the type, depth and extent of the pigmentation.
- Interval Between Sessions
- advised by the clinician.
- Downtime
- Minimal functional downtime. Patients can generally resume normal activities immediately, although treated pigment may remain visibly darker while it clears.
- Possible Reactions
- Temporary redness, warmth, mild swelling, sensitivity and darkening or light crusting of the treated pigmentation may occur. Pigment changes are possible and will be discussed during consultation.
- Pain Level
- Mild — patients may experience brief warmth, tingling or a light snapping sensation.
- After-care
- Your clinician will provide personalised aftercare instructions, skincare guidance and ongoing support based on the pigmentation treated and your individual skin response.
