Correcting Discolouration and Restoring an Even Skin Tone

Pigmentation, Sun Damage & Melasma

Pigmentation is a result of overactive melanocytes producing excess melanin, often triggered by UV exposure, hormonal shifts, or past inflammation. Our clinical approach focuses on breaking down existing pigment and regulating future production to restore the skin’s structural integrity and natural radiance from the lower levels upward.

Understanding Pigmentation & Sun Damage

Pigmentation occurs when melanin, the pigment that gives skin its colour, is produced in excess, creating dark spots or uneven patches on the skin’s surface. While some pigmentation is superficial, conditions like Melasma can sit deeper within the dermis, requiring a medical-grade approach to treat effectively without causing further irritation or rebound darkening.

Symptoms

Sun Spots (Solar Lentigines)
Flat, brown spots that develop on areas frequently exposed to the sun, such as the face, hands, and décolletage.
Melasma
Larger, symmetrical patches of dark discolouration, typically appearing on the forehead, cheeks, or upper lip, often linked to hormonal changes.
Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH)
Dark or red marks left behind after the skin has healed from an injury or inflammatory condition like acne.
Freckles (Ephelides)
Small, concentrated spots of pigment that often become more prominent following UV exposure.
Uneven Skin Tone
A general lack of "clarity" or radiance in the complexion, often accompanied by a rough skin texture.
