Question 11.
I had a consultation in Templestowe last year for freckle removal but I have lost the info. I am looking to sign up. The only thing is, my consultant told me down time would be around 10 days, but it would only require one session. I don't really want to take that much time off work. I have looked at other websites about Medlite that say no down-time is required but the sessions go over 6-8 months, rather than the one session my consultant told me about. I wonder is it a case of there being an option to have less intense laser impulses over a longer period? I don't know how it works! I wonder if VCI offer a longer number of sessions iwth no down-time after the session? If so, I'd love to sign up. Anna

Question 16.
I have recently seen three pigmentation patches come up on my skin (after being pregnant) and have had one patch which has been there for years and is slightly raised. A dermatologist has told me that the longer term skin discoloration can be easily removed. Is this something that the Medlite treatment can remove along with the small discolorations? Also, could you please provide treatment details including cost.
