Your skin type and health are assessed before treatment, in line with our doctors’ protocols.
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 Neath 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 marks are flat brown patches caused by a local build-up of melanin, the pigment that colours the skin. Clients from Neath often come to us about age spots that have appeared gradually on the face and hands.
The most common cause is sun exposure over many years, which is why these marks tend to appear on the face, hands, chest and shoulders. They’re often called sun spots, age spots or liver spots.
Our Llanelli clinic is doctor-led and registered with Healthcare Inspectorate Wales, with pigmentation treatment using the Lynton Lumina IPL from £30 a session.
Our Lynton Lumina IPL system is used within the NHS and approved in the NHS Supply Chain. Its light targets the melanin in brown marks, turning to heat that breaks down the pigment.
The mark usually darkens, then fades or flakes off over the days and weeks that follow. Since the light is drawn to the darker pigment, the skin around it is largely spared.
The best results come with well-defined brown marks caused by sun exposure, such as age spots and sun spots. We can’t treat tanned or fake-tanned skin.
Melasma, the patchy, hormone-related pigmentation, doesn’t respond well to IPL, so we don’t treat it. Any mark that should be checked by a GP first, we’ll refer back.
We’ll assess the marks, check your skin type and discuss your medical history and any medication.
You’ll leave with a clear recommendation and price, and there’s no pressure to book.
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 Neath, it’s an easy drive west along the M4.
Our clinic is at 10 Cowell Street in the centre of Llanelli, about 20 miles west of Neath. The usual route is the M4 west to junction 48, then the A4138 into Llanelli. There are also trains from Neath towards Llanelli, some with a change at Swansea. There is parking in the town centre.
The clinic is also within reach of Skewen, Briton Ferry, Cimla, Tonna and Resolven. Appointments are short, so a visit is easy to combine with a trip into Llanelli.

Prices start from £30 per session and depend on the size of the area. We confirm your price at the free consultation, before any treatment, and you pay per session.
Most find it very manageable, with just a brief warm or stinging sensation.
Most single marks need one to three sessions; larger areas need three to five.
The treated marks often stay away for years, but new ones can appear if your skin gets more sun. Daily sunscreen is essential.
Most clearly defined sun spots are suitable, but we can’t treat tanned skin. We’ll assess yours at your consultation.
Usually the face and backs of the hands, plus other areas with lots of sun exposure.
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.
It’s a good sign. The pigment darkens as it breaks down before fading or flaking off. Avoid picking or scratching it.
