Skin concern
Pigmentation & Sun Damage
Uneven tone, sun spots and patches of pigmentation often reflect years of sun exposure or hormonal change. Careful assessment matters, because not all pigmentation behaves the same.
Understanding
What's happening in the skin.
Pigmentation occurs when melanin is produced unevenly — triggered by UV exposure, inflammation or hormones.
Melasma in particular can be stubborn and easily aggravated by heat, so gentle, consistent strategies tend to be favoured.
Our approach
- VISIA imaging to reveal pigmentation beneath the surface.
- Paramedical facials and peels that support even-looking tone.
- Light and laser options such as IPL or thulium, where suitable.
- Daily SPF and home care — the foundation of any pigmentation plan.

Frequently asked
Can pigmentation return?
Yes. Sun exposure and hormones can trigger new pigmentation, which is why ongoing protection and maintenance matter.
Is laser suitable for melasma?
Not always. Some lasers can aggravate melasma, so we assess carefully and may recommend gentler options.
