Tell us about your pigmentation
Leave your details and we'll call you back to talk through whether SmartPICO is right for you, and the next available slot.
Less than typical London per-session pricing.
Same dual-wavelength picosecond laser platform, without central London overheads.
Every treatment plan is agreed by a doctor before you commit to a course.
Pigmentation that's worth a doctor's opinion, not a guess
Every case is assessed individually before treatment — not all pigmentation responds the same way, and some needs a different approach entirely.
Sun Spots & Age Spots
Flat brown marks from cumulative sun exposure, typically on the face, hands, and chest. May be suitable for SmartPICO after assessment.
Freckles & Lentigines
Concentrated pigment spots that darken with sun exposure over time. Assessed individually to determine suitability.
Melasma
Patchy pigmentation often linked to hormones or sun exposure — treated cautiously, as it can respond unpredictably.
Café-au-Lait Marks
Flat, evenly pigmented birthmarks — response varies and is discussed honestly at consultation.
Post-Inflammatory Pigmentation
Dark marks left behind after acne, injury, or previous cosmetic treatments. Assessed for SmartPICO suitability.
General Tone Unevenness
Photorejuvenation sessions aimed at overall tone and texture rather than a single mark. Discussed at consultation.
Not every pigmentation problem should be treated the same way.
Every case is assessed individually before treatment.

Before you get in touch
Do I need a GP referral?
No — this is a self-referral service. You can book a consultation directly without needing to see your own GP first.
Is this really the same treatment as London clinics offer?
The clinic uses a dual-wavelength picosecond SmartPICO laser platform and positions its pricing against typical London per-session pricing.
How many sessions will I need?
The number of sessions varies depending on the type of pigmentation and how your skin responds. This can be discussed during your consultation.
Is it suitable for darker skin tones?
Suitability is assessed carefully during consultation. The clinic specifically states that its lower-heat picosecond technology is assessed for darker and Asian skin tones.
Can melasma be treated with this laser?
Melasma can respond unpredictably, so it is assessed cautiously before treatment. Your clinician will discuss whether SmartPICO is appropriate for your particular pigmentation.
