Brightening &Hyperpigmentation
Hyperpigmentation happens when certain areas of the skin become darker than the surrounding skin due to an increase in melanin — the natural pigment responsible for skin colour.
It is especially common in skin of colour, as higher baseline melanin levels make the skin more reactive. Any injury or irritation to the skin — such as acne, burns, rashes, or bruising — can trigger the cells to produce extra melanin, leaving behind dark marks.
Common types of hyperpigmentation include:
• Age spots (also known as liver spots)
• Melasma
• Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH)
Some medications and underlying medical conditions may also contribute to the development of hyperpigmentation.
What types of pigmentation can be treated?
We use advanced medical brightening treatments to target various types of hyperpigmentation, including dark spots, uneven skin tone, sun damage (lentigines), and complex conditions like Melasma.
How do the treatments work to brighten the skin?
The treatments work by inhibiting the overproduction of melanin (the pigment responsible for dark spots) and promoting the turnover of skin cells to reveal clearer, brighter skin beneath.
Will I need to use special skincare products after the treatment?
Yes, a strict, high-quality skincare routine, especially one including high-factor SPF protection, is essential to maintain results, prevent the recurrence of pigmentation, and ensure skin health.
