SKIN CONCERNS

Pigmentation & Uneven Tone

Dark spots, sun damage and uneven skin tone, treated with a plan matched to your skin type.

UNDERSTANDING PIGMENTATION

What causes pigmentation?

Pigmentation happens when the skin produces extra melanin in certain areas, leaving darker patches or spots. It can follow sun exposure, breakouts or hormonal changes, and it needs a considered approach, because some pigmentation can return or worsen with the wrong treatment.

Common causes

  • Sun exposure and UV damage
  • Marks left after acne or skin injury
  • Hormonal changes, such as melasma
  • Ageing
  • Skin irritation and some medications

Signs you might notice

  • Dark spots or patches
  • Sun spots and freckling
  • Uneven or dull-looking skin tone
  • Marks left behind after breakouts

ASSESSMENT FIRST

Why professional assessment matters

Pigmentation comes in different types and depths, and your skin type affects which treatments are safe for you. Some treatments, such as our Splendor X laser treatments, suit lighter skin types only, while Pico Laser can be used on a wider range of skin types when treated correctly. Your Skin Scan + Consultation helps us choose the right approach for your skin.
