Pigmentation
For skin marked by sun or time, even tone and brightness are possible again.
At Skin Wellness Academy, we take a comprehensive approach to addressing pigmentation issues by combining advanced laser technology with medical-grade skincare. Our goal is to target pigmentation at its source while also nourishing the skin to enhance resilience and prevent future discolouration.
Pigmentation concerns, including sun damage, age spots, hyperpigmentation, and melasma, stem from an overproduction of melanin, the pigment that gives skin its colour. These concerns are common and can be triggered by various factors, such as prolonged sun exposure, hormonal changes, ageing, and inflammation. Pigmentation affects many skin tones and lifestyles and can often worsen due to environmental and lifestyle factors.
Common Types of Pigmentation
These develop gradually as UV radiation increases melanin production on exposed areas, like the face, hands, and shoulders, causing visible dark spots.
Appearing as darker patches or spots, hyperpigmentation occurs when specific areas of the skin produce excess melanin, often as a result of acne, skin injuries, or inflammation.
A more complex form of hyperpigmentation, melasma manifests as larger, symmetrical patches, frequently on the face. It is often associated with hormonal changes, such as those experienced during pregnancy or with certain medications.
Our Holistic and Clinical Treatment Approach
Our treatments focus on targeting areas of excess melanin, breaking down pigmentation to create a more even skin tone. Additionally, we emphasise the importance of strengthening your skin’s overall health to prevent future pigmentation by incorporating protective and reparative skincare into your regimen.
