Sun Damage & Pigmentation: What You Can Do About It
After months of UV exposure — even in winter — many clients come to us with signs of sun damage: brown spots, uneven tone, rough patches, and premature lines.
And while sunscreen is essential prevention, it can’t undo what’s already there.
That’s where treatments like laser and professional skincare come in.
Here’s how we help you reverse sun damage and restore a more even, healthy complexion.
What Is Sun Damage?
Sun damage refers to the long-term effects of UV radiation on your skin, including:
Hyperpigmentation (sun spots, freckles, uneven tone)
Fine lines and wrinkles
Rough or crepey texture
Loss of elasticity
Enlarged pores and dullness
It can affect all skin types and often appears more prominently in your 30s and beyond.
Laser Treatments for Pigmentation
At Platinum Cosmetics, we use Fotona laser to target pigmentation safely and precisely. Unlike chemical peels or harsh scrubs, laser reaches deeper layers of the skin without compromising the surface.
Our laser can:
Break down excess melanin
Even out tone
Stimulate collagen for smoother texture
Support long-term skin clarity
We usually recommend 3–4 treatments, spaced a few weeks apart, with visible improvement after each session.
Skin Rejuvenation Support
Our skin rejuvenation treatments are designed to:
Support healthy cell turnover
Boost hydration and glow
Minimise dullness and patchiness
Reinforce the results of your laser treatments
These may include light peels, hydrating facials, and targeted treatments based on your skin type.
Skincare Makes a Difference
Home care matters — a lot.
We’ll recommend medical-grade options from our skin care range with ingredients like:
Vitamin C (for brightening)
Niacinamide (for calming and pigment control)
Sunscreen (for daily protection)
You’ll need SPF 50 daily — even in cloudy weather — to protect your results and prevent new spots from forming.
