Pigmentation refers to the natural colour of your skin, which is determined by melanin produced by melanocyte cells. When these cells become damaged or overactive—due to sun exposure, hormonal changes, inflammation, or genetics—hyperpigmentation can occur. This results in darker patches or spots on the skin.
For persistent or deeper pigmentation concerns, several non-invasive treatments may be explored under the supervision of a licensed medical practitioner.
This technique uses ionised energy delivered to the skin surface to promote controlled regeneration. It is commonly explored for:
It may also help increase the absorption of topical products by improving skin permeability post-treatment. Suitable for various skin tones and types, treatment plans and intensity depend on individual skin condition.
Picosecond laser systems deliver extremely short bursts of energy to break up pigment in the skin. The fragmented pigments are then naturally eliminated by the body’s immune processes.
This approach may be considered for:
The procedure is generally well-tolerated and may be associated with minimal discomfort. Number of sessions required varies by pigmentation type and depth.
Note: Aesthetic procedures should always be preceded by a professional skin evaluation. Your doctor will determine the most appropriate modality, energy level, and session schedule based on your skin type and goals.
While clinical treatments may address deeper pigmentation, maintaining an effective skincare routine can support long-term results and help prevent recurrence.
Known for its antioxidant properties, Vitamin C helps brighten skin tone and support collagen production. It may assist in fading dark spots over time when used consistently.
Vitamin A derivatives like retinol are frequently used to treat acne, fine lines, and pigmentation. They help accelerate cell turnover and promote more even skin texture. Start with low concentrations and gradually increase under guidance.
This alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) exfoliates the skin and helps fade hyperpigmentation. Often found in peels, serums, or cleansers, glycolic acid should be introduced slowly and paired with daily sunscreen use.
Important: Retinoids and AHAs should not be used together in the same routine unless guided by a professional. Sunscreen is essential when using active ingredients that increase sun sensitivity.
