That’s why we offer a range of advanced and effective treatments designed to help you achieve a clearer, more even complexion. Our expert team will work with you to create a personalized plan to address your specific concerns and skin type.


Our advanced Pigment solutions


We utilize cutting-edge laser and light-based technologies renowned for their ability to target and reduce pigmentation. Discover how these powerful treatments can help in achieving your skin goals:

BBL HERO™

BBL HERO™ represents the gold standard in intense pulsed light (IPL) therapy. This innovative technology delivers rapid, powerful bursts of light energy to gently heat the upper layers of your skin. This process targets and breaks down excess melanin (the pigment responsible for dark spots), effectively reducing the appearance of:

  • Sunspots (solar lentigines)
  • Age spots
  • Freckles (ephelides)
  • Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation
  • Overall skin redness and unevenness

BBL HERO™ is known for its speed and efficacy, often requiring fewer treatment sessions compared to traditional IPL. It also offers skin rejuvenation benefits, promoting collagen production for a smoother, more youthful appearance. This is a great treatment to stack
with Moxi™ or HALO™ for even better results.

Moxi™ Laser: Gentle Correction for Melasma and Beyond

Moxi is a non-ablative fractional laser, meaning it delivers controlled micro-injuries to the skin without disrupting the skin’s surface. This gentler approach makes it an excellent choice for addressing superficial pigmentation and improving overall skin tone and texture with minimal downtime. Moxi effectively targets:

  • Mild sun damage
  • Uneven skin tone
  • Early signs of aging
  • Light freckling
  • Melasma
HALO laser

HALO™ Laser: Hybrid Fractional Power for Significant Results

HALO™ is the world’s first hybrid fractional laser, delivering both ablative and non-ablative wavelengths simultaneously to the same microscopic treatment zone. This unique technology allows for customizable treatments that can address a wider range of skin concerns, including deeper pigmentation. HALO™ is highly effective in treating:

  • Sun damage and sunspots
  • Age spots
  • Uneven skin tone and texture
  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Acne scars
  • Melasma

BBL HERO vs. Moxi vs. HALO: Understanding the Differences

VI Peel: Chemical Exfoliation for Brighter Skin

In addition to our advanced laser treatments, TLC Skincare Clinic offers the VI Peel, a medical-grade chemical peel that provides a powerful yet safe solution for various pigmentation concerns. Unlike the laser treatments that use light energy to target pigment, the VI Peel utilizes a proprietary blend of potent acids and vitamins to exfoliate the top layers of the skin. This process effectively lifts away damaged, pigmented cells,
revealing a smoother, more even-toned complexion underneath. VI Peel can also be stacked with laser treatments to amplify your results.

The VI Peel is an excellent option for addressing:

  • Sunspots and age spots
  • Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (e.g., from acne)  
  • Uneven skin tone and texture
  • Melasma (often used as part of a comprehensive treatment plan)

One of the key benefits of the VI Peel is its ability to deliver significant results with minimal downtime compared to deeper chemical peels. While you will experience peeling for several days following the treatment, it is generally well-tolerated. The specific formulation of the VI Peel also includes ingredients that help to suppress melanocyte activity, further preventing future pigmentation.

VI Peel vs. Lasers: A Different Approach to Pigmentation

While BBL HERO, Moxi, and HALO lasers use light energy to target and break down pigment within the skin, the VI Peel employs a chemical exfoliation process to remove the pigmented outer layers. Here’s a breakdown of the key differences:
