Pigmentation

Pigmentation can make your skin look blotchy and uneven. It commonly occurs on the face but can be seen all over your body.

Pigmentation or hyperpigmentation as it is often called literally means colouring. It can become a problem if you have areas of uneven pigmentation on your face adding to noticeably dark or blotchy patches.

Pigmentation in your face leads to skin tone looking uneven but the good news is there is a range of treatments that can help. It is also worth looking at preventative measures to keep the condition from getting worse.

Hyperpigmentation happens when your skin starts to produce too much melanin, a natural pigment in the body. This happens when your skin is damaged or sometimes due to health problems.

The most common reason is post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH)

This is a very common concern caused by damage to the skin. PIH are those dark marks left behind after a pimple heals and can be more aggravating and distressing than the pimple itself. PIH is the discolouration of the skin that follows an inflammatory wound. It is the skins natural response to inflamation.

What causes pigmentation

Sun:

The biggest culprit for pigmentation is sun damage. Overexposure to the harmful UV rays can cause damage which then leads to excess pigmentation as your skin tries to heal. Always ensure you protect your skin with sun cream.

Smoking:

Smoking causes the skin to be affected by toxins and can exacerbate pigmentation especially if you are prone to discolouration. Ideally, we would advise you to look at stopping smoking or at least cutting down to help

Genetics and hormones:

Some people are predisposed to be more sensitive to pigmentation. This is down to genetics. Don’t despair there are a number of treatments that can help

Siobhan is super friendly! I'm part way through a ClearLift course and already seeing a reduction in my scaring, as well as reduced acne flare ups, and a more even/ dewey complexion.

I was recommended Lightsheer Duet machine by a friend of mine and having done my research about I found Laserpod clinic on Google. As Laserpod already had had great reviews I decided to book a consultation.I met Siobhan and I quickly realised she really does know what she’s doing and she is very patient! She has both a wealth of experience as well as depth of knowledge about her profession. I normally ask a lot of questions when it comes to any skin/body treatments as I’m very concerned about possible skin issues and I really appreciated how reassuring, helpful and knowledgeable she was.I have been doing laser hair removal at Laserpod since mid 2020. Each appointment has been conducted in a very efficient, professional, and at the same time caring and gentle manner. I have now done several areas (full legs, armpits, bikini, upper lip) and I see a massive difference. Siobhan is absolutely brilliant, and she has ensured I’ve achieved the skin results I was after. I could not recommend her more. There is still some work to be done as lockdowns and the recent events have made it hard for me to progress at a pace I wanted to, so I will continue with the sessions. But so far I could not be happier with the difference Siobhan’s services have made to my physical looks and my overall confidence levels.

What Is The Best Way To Treat Pigmentation?

We always recommend a FREE skins assessment to find the best solution to treat you.

Treatments available

Clearlift – Clearlift is a groundbreaking laser treatment to fight the sign of ageing. It can be used all over your face including on the delicate eye area. This quick and pain-free treatment can produce results after just one session although a course is usually recommended

Derma Roller – Derma Roller treatments can produce some great results in fighting the signs of ageing. This treatment works but stimulating collagen production to leave skin looking refreshed and renewed

Derma Pen – we have seen great results tackling acne scars by minuscule damage to the skin and speeding up the production of collagen and oxygen. The bacteria that causes acne is killed and new skin cells are stimulated.

Microdermabrasion – Microdermabrasion can give great results in terms of smoother skin, reduced pore size, blackheads and dark spots. Microdermabrasion is not recommended for inflamed acne lesions, pimples, pustules, nodules, or cysts. We would let you know during a skin assessment if we recommend this.

Skin Peels –Skin peels contain glycolic & salicylic acid to reduce oil production, exfoliate the skin, unclog pores and kill bacteria. They are completely safe and painless with little or no downtime – just minimal redness.
