Pigment spots

Pigment spots

Age spots, sun spots, freckles

Pigment spots - especially age spots, sun spots and freckles - are common skin changes that many people find annoying.

Sun and age spots typically appear from middle age onwards on sun-exposed areas such as the face, décolleté and back of the hands. These yellowish-brown discolourations are the result of many years of UV exposure.

Freckles, on the other hand, are genetic and are merely intensified by sunlight.

Treatment

Laser therapy has established itself as an effective treatment method. It enables precise removal of pigmentation spots with minimal impact on the surrounding tissue.

After treatment, the spots initially darken, but then disappear after around 10 days due to natural skin desquamation, revealing lighter-coloured skin.

Depending on the severity and type of pigmentation, 1 to 3 treatment sessions are usually required at intervals of 4-6 weeks.

Before the treatment

  • Avoid intensive sun exposure (sun and solarium) 4 weeks beforehand
  • Do not use self-tanning products
  • Skin area must be free of inflammation

Aftercare

Direct sunlight (UV light, solarium) should be avoided for 4 weeks after treatment. Use a high level of sun protection (SPF 50+) for at least 4 weeks. Avoid scratching and rubbing the treated areas.

Prices

These prices are per session. Several treatments are recommended.

Billing via health insurance is not possible. The amount is to be paid on site directly after the treatment.

Freckles

Freckles: One session from CHF 350

Age / sun and pigmentation spots
