Summary
As well as changes in texture, elasticity and thickness, aging skin can undergo various pigmentary changes.
Sun Spots are usually circular flat tan-coloured pigmented spots, called solar lentigines (also known as liver or age spots). Sun spots are the result of frequent, excess or cumulative sun exposure, are the result of sun damage. Patients with sun spots tend to be of fair complexion. Without treatment sun spots do not fade, instead they grow and darken over time.
Rosacea is a chronic vascular skin condition which presents as redness of the face and sometimes of the neck and chest. The vascular component of rosacea can vary from flushing to permanent redness (telangectasia) with many fine superficial blood vessels
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) treatment improves hyperpigmentation, brown spots, texture redness and fine lines. IPL emits a range of wavelengths of light that are converted into heat energy in the melanin-rich pigmented cells, resulting in lightened skin. Using special filters IPL can also treat the fine blood vessels associated with rosacea. The latest version of the Lumenis M22 (OptiLight) IPL has been designed with specific settings for the treatment of sun spots and vascular lesions (like rosacesa). This treatment has no downtime or recovery, although you are advised to use proper sun protection following treatment.
The Process
Prior to treatment, you will attend an Aesthetic Consultation with our Facial Aesthetic Clinician. Here we will discuss with you in detail your medical history, your skin type, concerns and desired result and go through treatment, ensuring you are a safe and suitable candidate for IPL treatment.
On the day of treatment we will review your treatment plan before proceeding to treat the areas agreed.
Treatments are carried out in our operating theatre suite. You will recline on a couch and your eyes will be protected with special goggles. Cool soothing gel is applied to the treatment area. The skin is treated with intense pulsed light in several passes.
We will ask to see you in clinic again 2 – 3 weeks for your next treatment. A course of treatments is required to achieve the desired results.

I was absolutely petrified but all the staff and Mr Gosh put me at ease had my corneas and cataracts done and never felt a thing. They were always there when I needed them. Many thanks to you all.Ann Heslop one of the owners of Heslop Appliances
I nervously agreed to get this surgery done after pressure from my wife as I kept getting irritated by my Glasses always getting in the way of my life. I made my appointment at MY Eye Clinic. All the team were extremely informative and took time to answer all my questions. I had full lens replacement and the surgery was painless and I really don’t understand why I was worried. The results are fantastic and I now have 20/20 vision at the age 50! I went diving again this year and just amazed by the difference. Biggest difference has been in everyday life, looking at my phone, reading food labels etc. don’t wait get it done it’s a life changer and the team and after care at MY Eye are the best !
I have recently had a clear lens extraction with a multifocal lens implant procedure carried out by Mr Ghosh. In my initial appointment everything was explained in depth about the procedure and the after care. My experience from start to finish was exceptional, all the staff in my eye clinic were professional, helpful and very welcoming. My goal was to be glasses free and that is my position since my operation. My only regret is that I didn’t have my lens exchange procedure done earlier!! I would like to thank Mr Ghosh and his team for my first class treatment. This procedure has definitely been life changing for me!
Fantastic service. Got lasik surgery done here, couldn't have gone any better. Very professional team with a high standard of care. Follow up has been easy to arrange and any queries I had post-operation were dealt with quickly.
The whole experience, from my initial telephone enquiry, the consultation and the procedure, to the follow up appointment was first class. Abbie, Eyelid Service Manager, was extremely helpful and professional, explaining everything fully over the telephone, which instilled confidence in me. My consultation with Mr Boyce was thorough assessing the problem and explaining what the procedure entailed. The procedure was a great success and Mr Boyce and his nursing staff were brilliant.I would highly recommend My Eye Clinic without any hesitation.
I’m 58 years old and have one good eye for close sight and one good eye for far sight. I was investigating laser eye surgery, to at least one eye, to make at least one side work better.The surgery is easy to find, immaculately clean and a calm oasis of tranquility, on the hot day I got there.The booking process had been easy, I had rang and booked in person and unlike Optical Express in Newcastle, I hadn’t been diagnosed over the phone and pushed towards the most expensive treatment in two minutes.Optical express did this when I made the appointment and I felt so untrusting of them giving me impartial advice I cancelled the appointment before I went, I just had a bad feeling about them.My Eye Clinic were different. I was greeted by reception, taken to the optometrist and my eyes tested and then taken to see Dr Ghosh.One word of warning. They put drops in your eyes and it does make everything blurry and believe me, you won’t want to be driving after that. Get the bus from Regents Center, the stop is just outside the clinic, it’s the way forward.He looked at my tests, did some more checks and finally said basically “ you’ve got an excellent eye on alternate sides for each type of vision, the brain is compensating and you don’t need this surgery right now- I’d be reluctant to take you as a patient”How often does a businessman say that?He spent a long time explaining this to me, I was disappointed at first but then I understood what he was getting at. Patient outcome and satisfaction is most important to him. He’s in it for the long term.“ Come back” he said, “if one of your good eyes deteriorates” and we will look again then and that is exactly what I will do.I know this is a long review but I would trust the advice Dr Ghosh gives you.My 19 year old daughter has very short sighted eyes and I will be bringing her to Dr Ghosh when she is 21 and her sight has stabilised.The whole experience was edifying.Thank you to reception and Anita Murphy as well. They were lovely.
Absolutely totally professional service from start to finish. Had my cataracts removed and bifocal lens fitted, the final results are fantastic, no need for glasses anymore. Also the follow up and after care service has been brilliant.
Andrew has been patient and explained things well. His manner is gentle and kind.I am still adapting to my hearing aids and so far they have helped a little but not as much as I had hoped in noisy environments.
First class recommendation for My Eye Clinic and in particular Andrew Peel who was professional, knowledgeable very thorough. A pleasure to deal with!
So helpful and reassuring. My site is amazing. The whole process was so smooth, I understood everything that I was told and knew of any risks and potential side effects before agreeing to anything. Couldn't be happier.
I recently had permanent lens procedure carried out by Mr Ghosh. Having glasses as a child and contact lenses for many years, this has been an absolute revelation for me. Mr Ghosh was absolutely brilliant and very professional from the start. All the staff are lovely and especially like to thank Dianne, Anita and the team. This has changed my life for the better thanks.
Beautiful clinic, really nice atmosphere, prompt service and really friendly and professional staff. Fernando was particularly great!I would definitely recommend.
Excellent care, all staff very courteous and helpful. YAG surgery clearly explained to me by Mr Morgan, who did a brilliant job. I'd highly recommend this clinic.
I visited the My Hearing Clinic knowing I needed a hearing assessment but thinking it was just a build up of wax. It came as a shock that I heard a hearing loss which needed addressing. The service I received from Andrew was outstanding! He explained my hearing loss and went through all my options. He recognised that it was a lot of information to take in so made a follow up appointment, giving me sufficient time to think about what I wanted to do. From start to finish the service has been excellent, efficient, professional and friendly from the moment you walk through the door and meet Lee. The clinic is well located, parking on site, high standard of cleanliness. Definitely a recommendation from me. Thank you!
Absolutely first class treatment and experience at this wonderful clinic. Staff were exceptionally welcoming and friendly Mr Morgan the consultant was lovely explaining everything. I had YAG laser treatment painless no discomfort and almost immediate corrected vision. Thank you all so very very much.
Visited clinic today with a totally blocked left ear. Had micro suction to remove a huge build up of ear wax. It was over in minutes. Excellent, efficient and friendly service from start to finish. Would recommend 100% Worth every penny!
