Pico Laser · Bondi Junction
Pigmentation &
Sun Damage Treatment
Advanced picosecond laser technology that shatters pigmentation at its source — targeting sunspots, freckles, melasma, and uneven skin tone with precision and minimal downtime.
Understanding Your Concern
What is Pigmentation?
Pigmentation refers to darkened areas of skin caused by excess melanin — the natural pigment produced by your skin. It can develop from sun exposure, hormonal changes, inflammation, or ageing, and often becomes more pronounced over time without treatment.
Common types include sunspots and sun damage, freckles, melasma, post-acne hyperpigmentation, and generalised uneven skin tone. Most types respond exceptionally well to targeted Pico laser treatment.
The Treatment
How Pico Laser Treats Pigmentation
Pico laser (picosecond laser) delivers ultra-short bursts of energy measured in trillionths of a second. This shatters pigment particles into microscopic fragments that the body naturally eliminates — without damaging the surrounding skin.
Unlike older Q-switched lasers, Pico laser achieves results faster, with fewer sessions, and is safer across a broader range of skin tones.
- Reduces sunspots and sun damage
- Targets stubborn melasma

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Will Pico laser work on melasma?
Pico laser can significantly improve melasma, but melasma is hormonally driven and tends to recur. Expect gradual improvement over 4–6 sessions with conservative settings, combined with daily SPF. Aggressive settings can make melasma worse — the practitioner matters more than the machine.
Is Pico safe for darker skin tones?
Picosecond lasers are significantly safer for darker skin types than older Q-switched or IPL devices because ultra-short pulses reduce thermal injury and the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
Why does my pigmentation look darker after treatment?
This is expected and temporary. The laser shatters pigment into tiny particles that rise to the surface before flaking off over 5–10 days. Do not pick or exfoliate — let the skin shed naturally.
How many sessions will I need?
Sunspots and freckles often clear in 1–2 sessions. Deeper or widespread pigmentation typically needs 3–4. Melasma is an ongoing management plan rather than a fixed number.
What's included in a Full Face Pigmentation treatment?
Every full face pigmentation session at Laser by Tom includes a carbon peel afterwards at no extra cost — this adds instant glow and boosts the overall skin result.
