There are many different forms of facial pigmentation, also known as melasma, solar lentigos, freckles, sun spots, and liver spots.

There are several treatments for facial hyperpigmentation ranging from topical creams to laser therapy. Our lasers have different wavelengths that specifically target different coloured pigment cells without heating the surrounding tissue. The pigment cells are safely destroyed.

Click the link in our bio to make an appointment and find out if you’re suitable for laser treatment.

Acne scars can be categorised as either atrophic and hypertrophic:

β€’	Ice pick scars: The most common type of atrophic acne scar, these are narrow, deep, and sharply defined
β€’	Rolling scars: Wide and shallow atrophic scars caused by dermal tethering
β€’	Boxcar scars: Round or oval-shaped depressions with sharp edges that develop deep in the skin
β€’	Hypertrophic scars: Raised, firm lumps of scar tissue caused by excessive tissue growth

Friday feedback!
 
β€œHave had the best experience with Dr Maria Gonzalez and her lovely team! I was seen for a consultation in September as I’ve struggled with ice pick scarring due to acne and I was booked in for the CO2 treatment. If I could give more than 5* I would. I felt really taken care of from the moment I stepped through the door, all the ladies are so lovely and Dr Gonzalez, top dermatologist going! Can’t recommend enough - thank you guys!”
