Pigmentation is a common skin concern that occurs when excess melanin, the pigment responsible for skin colour, is produced in certain areas of the skin. This can result in dark patches, uneven skin tone, sunspots, post-inflammatory marks, melasma, and age-related discoloration. While pigmentation is usually harmless, it can be frustrating and often affects confidence.
Pigmentation can develop for many reasons, including sun exposure, hormonal fluctuations, acne, inflammation, skin injuries, genetics, and the natural ageing process. Different types of pigmentation require different treatment approaches, making an accurate assessment essential for achieving the best results.
At Aesthetica, we focus on identifying the underlying cause of your pigmentation and creating a personalised treatment plan designed to safely brighten the skin, improve overall skin tone, and help prevent future pigmentation from developing.
Depending on the type and depth of pigmentation, treatment options may include:
Why does my pigmentation keep coming back?
Many forms of pigmentation, particularly melasma, have underlying triggers such as hormones, heat, inflammation, and UV exposure. While treatments can significantly improve pigmentation, long-term management often requires consistent sun protection and an appropriate skincare routine to maintain results.
No pigmentation treatment plan is complete without daily sun protection. Even small amounts of UV exposure can stimulate melanin production and contribute to pigmentation becoming darker or returning after treatment. Wearing a broad-spectrum SPF every day is one of the most effective ways to protect your results and maintain a brighter, more even complexion.
Ready to achieve a brighter, more even skin tone? Our team will assess your skin and recommend a customised treatment plan designed to target pigmentation safely and effectively while supporting long-term skin health.
