We use the Lynton Lumina, a medical-grade IPL system. 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. At our Llanelli clinic we use IPL to fade them and even out your skin tone, from £30 a session.
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 the name for areas where the skin has produced more melanin, its natural colouring, than the skin around it. The result is a flat brown mark or patch.
The most common cause is sun exposure over many years, which is why marks tend to appear on the face, hands, chest and shoulders. They are often called sun spots, age spots or liver spots.
We treat pigmentation with intense pulsed light (IPL) from the Lynton Lumina. The light passes into the skin, is absorbed by the melanin in the mark and turns to heat, which breaks the pigment down.
The pigmentation darkens at first. Over the following days and weeks your body clears it away, and the mark fades or flakes off.
Because the light is absorbed mainly by the darker pigment, the surrounding skin is largely unaffected.
IPL works best on clearly defined brown marks caused by sun exposure, such as sun spots and age spots. Tanned skin cannot be treated, and that includes fake tan.
We do not treat melasma, the patchy pigmentation often linked to hormones, as it does not respond well to this kind of treatment.
We check your skin type and medical history at the consultation, look closely at the marks you want treated, and tell you honestly what result to expect. If a mark needs to be seen by your GP first, we will say so.
If uneven tone comes with fine lines, open pores or dullness, laser skin rejuvenation treats the whole face. For redness and visible veins, see thread vein removal. We will tell you at your consultation which is the best fit.
Your first visit is a proper assessment. We look at the marks you want treated, check your skin type and ask about your medical history and any medication.
You’ll leave knowing whether treatment is suitable, how many sessions we recommend and what it will cost. There’s no obligation to go ahead.
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.

You’ll be given aftercare advice to take home, and you can call us with any questions.
Our clinic is at 10 Cowell Street in the centre of Llanelli, a short walk from the town centre car parks and the bus station. We have been treating clients here since 2016.
Clients travel to us from across Carmarthenshire, Swansea and Neath Port Talbot. Appointments are short, so many people come in during a lunch break or straight after work.
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 people do not find it painful. You may feel warmth or a brief, mild sting during the treatment, which is usually well tolerated.
A single mark typically needs one to three sessions. A larger area usually needs three to five. We’ll give you an estimate at the consultation.
Treated marks can stay away for a long time, but new ones can form with more sun exposure. Using a high-factor sunscreen every day is the best way to keep your results.
We check at the consultation. Tanned skin cannot be treated, including fake tan, and not every type of brown mark is suitable. We’ll tell you honestly what to expect.
The face and the backs of the hands are the most common, along with other areas that have had a lot of sun, such as the chest and shoulders.
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 is expected. The pigmentation initially darkens as it breaks down, then fades or flakes away as the skin heals. Do not pick at it.
