Welcome to Ashbrooke Cosmetic Clinic
While pigmentation changes can sometimes result from underlying medical conditions, in the vast majority of cases they are primarily a cosmetic concern.
In practice, types of pigmentation we routinely treat include superficial sun spots or “age spots” (also called lentigines), post-inflammatory marks left after acne or minor skin trauma, and melasma.
Understanding how pigment is produced and how it can accumulate is an important first step in our treatment journey.
Pigmentation in the skin refers to variations in colour or darker patching caused by the uneven production or distribution of the natural pigment called melanin. Melanin is created in specialised cells known as melanocytes, primarily located at the base of the outer skin layer (the epidermis).
At Ashbrooke Cosmetic Clinic, we provide multiple treatments that help to address skin pigmentation. Contact us today to find out how we can help your specific pigmentation concerns.
Correct diagnosis of the type and depth of pigmentation is vital for successful treatment. Some pigmentation types include the following:
Darker brown, well-defined borders, tends to respond better to treatment.
Bluish or greyish hue, blurry borders, lies deeper and is more challenging to treat.
Features of both dermal & epidermal pigments.
Also known as "age spots", are often flat, brown patches on sun-exposed areas.
Symmetrical, patchy facial pigmentation often tied to hormones and sun exposure.
Dark marks left after skin trauma or inflammation.
Small, sun-induced but benign pigment spots.
Long‐term sun exposure-linked spots arising with ageing.
Identification may involve clinical examination to determine whether pigment sits on the surface or deeper, which in turn guides the choice of treatment.
While treatments for pigmentation are generally safe, possible side-effects include:

If you’re unsure of which procedure you need to treat pigmentation, a 1-0n-1 consultation with our head doctor will provide you with a tailored treatment plan based on your condition. Here is the process of what you can expect when visiting Ashbrooke:
Your experience begins with a detailed consultation with our qualified doctors. During this appointment, we will discuss your skincare needs and any specific concerns. They will assess your skin type and sensitivity to determine the best treatment option for you. Realistic expectations are also provided for each treatment.
The treatment process, while they vary, mostly follow a similar pattern. The typical process starts with cleansing and exfoliation to prepare the skin.
Then depending on the chosen procedure, specific treatment steps are then followed to ensure a safe, effective and comfortable experience for the patient.
Post-treatment, you can typically resume your daily activities. Following any aftercare guidelines, such as using sunscreen and avoiding certain skincare products for a few days, may be advised by our team.
We find that ideal candidates are those with the following:
Concerned with cosmetic pigmentation rather than active medical skin disease.
Who recognise the need for a plan and ongoing maintenance.
Have realistic expectations and commitment to sun protection.
During the consultation we assess your skin tone, pigment depth, history (sun exposure, hormonal status, inflammation history) and together determine the suitability of treatment, and map out a safe, effective plan.
The cost of pigmentation treatments may vary depending on individual treatment requirements and the procedure you choose. There is no one size fits all cost as some of the procedures are customised to your needs.
During your 1-on-1 consultation, you will be provided with a tailored quote which takes into account your needs and best recommended pigmentation treatment. If necessary, the doctor may provide payment plan options.

If you have any more questions about Vaser® Liposuction in Sydney or any of our services, please don’t hesitate to contact us today.
VASER® technology provides an alternative to conventional liposuction, designed with advanced techniques to target specific areas of fat removal. This approach enables both larger areas and more delicate regions to be treated with accuracy.
By employing ultrasound technology, it addresses specific fat deposits. This method is designed to liquefy fat cells, potentially resulting in reduced discomfort and recovery time compared to traditional liposuction.
Following VASER liposuction, patients may experience manageable pain. Some swelling, bruising, and occasional numbness in the treated area can be expected, with these effects typically subsiding within 5-6 weeks. Most patients are able to return to their normal activities or work within a few days, but individual recovery times may vary.
VASER liposuction may not be suitable for everyone, and it’s important to undergo a thorough consultation with a qualified cosmetic physician to determine if the procedure is appropriate for your individual needs and goals. Candidates for the procedure should be in good overall health and have realistic expectations for the results.
The cost of VASER liposuction can vary depending on the specific areas being treated, the amount of fat being removed, the cosmetic physician fees and the hospital fees. In Australia, the average cost of VASER liposuction starts from $4,000 and can go up to $10,000 per case.
We recommend that you book an initial consultation with us where we’ll be able to give you an accurate cost based on your treatment plan.
VASER liposuction is not a weight loss procedure, and it’s important to maintain a healthy diet and exercise routine to achieve long-term weight loss goals. The procedure is best suited for removing small to moderate amounts of localised fat deposits.
VASER liposuction may provide enhanced skin tightening effects compared to traditional liposuction, as the ultrasound energy applied during the procedure stimulates collagen production. The extent of skin tightening, however, can depend on individual factors such as skin elasticity and the volume of fat removed.
The length of a Vaser Liposuction procedure varies depending on the size and number of areas being treated. Typically, the procedure can be completed in a few hours or less.
The amount of downtime required after a Vaser Liposuction procedure varies depending on the size and number of areas treated. Generally, patients can expect to take a few days to a week off from work or other activities to rest and recover.
Most patients will begin to see the results of their Vaser Liposuction procedure within a few weeks after the procedure, with full results becoming apparent within a few months.
No, Vaser Liposuction is not a weight loss procedure. It is designed to remove excess fat from specific areas of the body that are resistant to diet and exercise. It is important to maintain a healthy lifestyle with diet and exercise after the procedure to maintain the results.
