Clearing sun damage on the decolletage

The record
How the course ran
Years of summers at a cottage had left dense lentigines across the chest and shoulders. She had assumed the area was untreatable.
We started in October, deliberately. Three targeted laser sessions four weeks apart, with the expected darkening and flaking of the treated spots over the fortnight after each. She was strict about the aftercare, which is most of why this worked.
The photograph is at four months. She has continued with a daily broad-spectrum SPF 50 on the chest, which is the only thing that will keep the result. We told her at the start that without it the spots would return within two summers, and that has not changed.
Treatment plan
What was used
Every treatment used in this course, with the price and appointment length it is booked at today. Prices are in CAD and HST is added at checkout.
Timeline
How long it took
Two dates are on the record: the day the course started, and the day the published photograph was taken. Everything between them was scheduled around this client's response.
- Assessment, medical history and baseline photography
Nothing is treated on the first visit unless the client asks, is medically suitable, and has had time to read the consent form.
Week 0 - The course itself
Session intervals are set by the treatment and by how this client responded, and are reviewed each visit rather than booked as a block in advance.
3 sessions
Individual results vary
Every photograph on this page is of a real client of the clinic, taken in standardised lighting at a fixed distance, unretouched and unfiltered, and published only where written consent for publication is on file. Consent can be withdrawn at any time and the case is removed the same day.
A case study describes one person’s course of treatment. It is not a prediction. Outcomes depend on anatomy, skin type, age, medical history and how closely aftercare is followed, and no treatment we offer is permanent or guaranteed. What a consultation can tell you is whether a treatment is likely to help you — which is where every plan here started.
