Registered with Healthcare Inspectorate Wales and led by GMC-registered doctors.
From £30 a session, with your price confirmed at a free consultation before any treatment.
Most people return to their normal day straight after a session.
In Llanelli town centre, about 15 miles from Ammanford, with parking nearby.
We use the Lynton Lumina IPL, used within the NHS and approved in the NHS Supply Chain. Its light is absorbed by the excess pigment in a brown mark.
We treat marks on the face, the backs of the hands and other areas that have seen a lot of sun.
Treatment follows doctors’ protocols, with your skin type and medical history checked before we start.
Sun spots, age spots and patches of uneven colour build up slowly, usually on the face and the backs of the hands, and make-up only hides them for the day. If you live in Ammanford and would like to fade them, laser pigmentation removal is one option to consider.
Cowell St Skin & Hair Clinic is in the centre of Llanelli. We are a doctor-led clinic registered with Healthcare Inspectorate Wales, and we have been treating clients since 2016.
Every client starts with a free consultation. There’s no pressure and no sales pitch, just an honest view of what treatment can and can’t do for you.
Pigmentation is where the skin has produced more melanin, its natural colouring, in one area than in the skin around it, leaving a flat brown mark or patch. Many Ammanford clients notice liver spots on the backs of their hands as they get older.
Long-term sun exposure is the usual cause, so they’re most often seen on the face, hands, chest and shoulders. People call them sun spots, age spots or liver spots.
Cowell St Skin & Hair Clinic is doctor-led and registered with Healthcare Inspectorate Wales; we treat brown marks with the Lynton Lumina IPL, from £30 a session.
We use intense pulsed light (IPL) from the Lynton Lumina, which is used within the NHS and approved in the NHS Supply Chain. The light is absorbed by the melanin in the mark and turns to heat, breaking the pigment down.
The mark darkens at first, then fades or flakes away over the following days and weeks as your body clears it. The light is absorbed mainly by the darker pigment, so the surrounding skin is largely unaffected.
Sun spots and age spots with clear edges respond best to IPL. Tanned skin, whether from the sun or a bottle, can’t be treated.
We don’t treat melasma, which is patchy pigmentation often linked to hormones, because it doesn’t respond well. If we think a mark should be checked by your GP, we’ll say so.
We start by looking at your pigmentation closely, then check your skin type and medical history.
By the end, you’ll know what result is realistic, how many sessions are likely and what each will cost.
To secure your appointment we take a £30 deposit. It comes off the price of your treatment, or we refund it in full if you decide not to go ahead. Please read our cancellation policy before you book.

From Ammanford, it’s a simple drive down via Cross Hands or Pontarddulais.
Our clinic is at 10 Cowell Street in the centre of Llanelli, about 15 miles south-west of Ammanford, in the same county. Most Ammanford clients drive down via Cross Hands or Pontarddulais.

Most people don’t find it painful. You may feel warmth or a brief, mild sting, which is usually well tolerated.
A single mark typically needs one to three sessions; a larger area usually needs three to five.
They can stay clear for a long time, but the sun can trigger new marks. Protect your skin with a high-factor sunscreen every day.
We’ll check your skin and the marks themselves first. Tanned skin, including fake tan, can’t be treated.
The face, hands, chest and shoulders are the most common areas.
No. Melasma does not respond well to IPL, so we do not treat it. If you are not sure what kind of pigmentation you have, we can look at it at a free consultation.
That’s part of the process. The mark darkens first, then fades or flakes away as the skin renews. Let it come away on its own.
