Laser Treatment for Pigmentation in Stanmore, London
Achieve clear and even skin by reducing hyperpigmentation and improving scarring on the face and body with laser-assisted pigment removal.
Whether your hyperpigmentation is from sun damage, skin injury, or acne scars, the energy transmitted from the laser disperses the excess pigment, enabling it to be reabsorbed and excreted naturally by the body.
A course of treatments is usually needed to fully disperse the excess pigment, and results are long-lasting when the skin is protected from the sun.
Depending on personal preference and the size or location of the problem area, numbing cream may be applied to help ease discomfort during the procedure.
Note – laser-assisted pigment removal is not a suitable treatment for melasma. Your skin concerns and suitability for this procedure will be discussed with you at your initial consultation.
Some common contraindications include pregnancy, certain medical conditions/medications, recent sun exposure, active skin infection or open wounds, and keloid or hypertrophic scarring. This is not a full list, and your suitability for treatment will be assessed during your consultation.

Laser treatment for pigmentation in Stanmore – frequently asked questions
What types of pigmentation can laser treat?
Sun spots, age spots, freckles, post-inflammatory marks from acne and some forms of melasma. At your free consultation the doctor assesses the type of pigmentation, because each responds differently and melasma in particular needs a cautious, combined approach.
Is laser pigmentation treatment safe for darker skin?
With the right laser and settings, yes. INIYA Clinic is doctor-led and we choose the wavelength and energy for your skin type, and always do a patch test first.
How many sessions will I need?
Typically 2–4 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart. Sun spots often clear in one or two; melasma needs a longer plan combined with medical-grade skincare and strict sun protection.
What happens after treatment?
The spots darken for a few days and then flake away over 1–2 weeks. You will need daily SPF 50 and to avoid sun exposure during the course.
How much does it cost in Stanmore?
Pricing depends on the area and number of spots. The consultation at INIYA Clinic is free and includes a written quote for your treatment plan.
