Sun Damage, Post Inflammatory & Melasma Pigmentation

Sun Damage Pigmentation

Sun damage pigmentation occurs when repeated UV exposure stimulates excess melanin production, leading to freckles, sunspots and areas of uneven pigmentation, particularly on the face, chest and other sun-exposed areas. A personalised combination of skincare, professional treatments and consistent sun protection can help improve the appearance of pigmentation and support a more even-looking complexion.

Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation

Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) occurs when the skin produces excess melanin as part of its natural healing response following inflammation or injury. PIH may occur following acne breakouts, eczema, skin trauma or certain cosmetic and dermatological procedures, leaving behind areas of darkened pigmentation once the skin has healed. Tailored skincare and treatments can help improve the appearance of PIH and support a more even skin tone.

Melasma

Melasma is a pigmentation condition that commonly appears as symmetrical brown or grey-brown patches, particularly across the cheeks, forehead, upper lip and chin. It is strongly influenced by hormonal factors, while sun exposure and heat can trigger or worsen its appearance. Melasma is a chronic condition that can reoccur and requires ongoing management rather than a one-off treatment. While it cannot always be completely cleared, a personalised skincare and treatment plan, together with appropriate sun protection, can help manage pigmentation and improve its appearance over time.

Note: a consultation is required before commencing treatment to assess your suitability and develop a treatment plan tailored to your individual needs.
