Years of living under the beautiful Queensland sun can leave their mark in the form of “brown spots”, clinically known as solar lentigines or age spots. These are concentrated clusters of melanin that sit on the skin’s surface, creating an uneven and aged appearance.
At Daisy Dermal Clinic, we don’t just “fade” these spots; we remove them. Our approach is to create a personalized clinical pathway that uses medical-grade laser technology to precisely target and shatter unwanted pigment, restoring your skin’s clarity and radiance.
Our treatment philosophy is based on diagnosis before prescription. To effectively treat brown spots, we must first ensure they are benign and assess their depth. This is how we build your path to a clear, spot-free complexion.
Understanding Your Brown Spots
• Solar Lentigines (Sun Spots): The most common type. Flat, defined brown marks on the face, hands, and décolletage.
• Ephelides (Freckles): Smaller, lighter spots often related to genetics and sun exposure.
• Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH): Dark marks left behind after a skin injury, such as an acne breakout.
THE DAISY CLINICAL PATHWAY
Your journey to clear skin begins with a Bespoke Skin Consultation ($80 – redeemable). We will diagnose your pigmentation and design your treatment program. Our protocols include:
1. To Remove Defined Sun Spots:
• Laser Pigment Removal: Our gold-standard treatment. We use the Alexandrite 755nm laser to deliver a precise beam of light that is absorbed by the dark pigment. The spot instantly darkens and forms a “micro-crust,” which naturally falls off in 7-10 days, revealing clear skin underneath.
2. To Treat Widespread Uneven Tone:
• Laser Genesis: A gentle laser facial that targets overall background redness and light pigmentation for a more uniform and polished complexion.
• Clinical Brightening Peels (MandeliClear / Lactic): Uses medical-grade acids to accelerate cell turnover and lift superficial pigment, resulting in a brighter, more even skin tone.
3. Prescribed Homecare (Circadia):
This is non-negotiable to prevent new spots from forming. We will prescribe a targeted regimen with Vitamin C (to protect from new damage) and Retinoids (to keep cell turnover efficient). And of course, daily SPF 50+.
Every skin is unique. A clinical consultation is essential for us to diagnose the root cause of your concern and design a safe, effective treatment plan. It’s the foundational step to guarantee the best possible results.
This is our most comprehensive program for addressing multiple signs of sun damage and aging. It combines 3 sessions of Laser Genesis for overall skin tone, texture, and redness reduction, with 2 sessions utilizing the Candela Gentle Max Pro (Alexandrite 755nm) for targeted pigment removal. This synergistic approach addresses both diffuse sun damage and stubborn dark spots for a uniform, radiant complexion.
Laser Genesis uses a gentle Nd:YAG 1064nm laser to heat the deeper layers of the skin. This stimulates collagen production, improves skin texture, reduces redness, and targets superficial pigmentation, leading to a brighter and more even skin tone. It's excellent for the overall "background" sun damage.
This targeted protocol utilizes the Candela Gentle Max Pro (Alexandrite 755nm) laser. This laser precisely targets and fragments dark pigment, such as sun spots (solar lentigines) and other defined brown marks. Often, significant clearance of individual spots can be achieved in a single session, with the pigmented area forming a micro-crust that naturally sheds within 7-10 days. Depending on the depth and density of the pigmentation, multiple sessions (typically 1-3) may be recommended to achieve complete clearance and prevent recurrence.
The Alexandrite 755nm laser emits a precise wavelength of light that is selectively absorbed by the melanin in sun spots. This intense light energy breaks down the pigment particles, which then darken into a "micro-crust" and naturally shed off the skin within 7-10 days, revealing clearer skin underneath.
Yes, Laser Genesis is highly effective at targeting the superficial vascular network in the skin. This makes it excellent for reducing diffuse redness, flushing, and the appearance of conditions like rosacea, contributing to a more even complexion.
What you do at home is 80% of your result. Using professional, prescribed skincare protects your investment. Supermarket products can contain fragrances and fillers that can irritate your skin post-treatment and reverse our clinical progress.
Treatments are typically performed every 3-4 weeks to allow for adequate skin healing and regeneration between sessions. Both Laser Genesis and the Alexandrite laser for pigment removal are considered non-invasive with minimal to no downtime. Clients may experience mild redness or slight darkening of the treated spots (micro-crust formation), which resolve naturally within days.
This protocol is designed for diffuse sun damage, uneven skin tone, background redness, and textural irregularities. It uses 4 sessions of Laser Genesis to improve overall skin quality and consistency, and we can incorporate Circadia Mandelic Peels to further enhance tone and texture.
