What is Hyperpigmentation?

Skin pigmentation refers to and describes the colour of your skin. It is determined by a pigment known as melanin. This is a substance that gives your skin its colour. Typically, the more melanin you have, the darker your skin colour is.

Hyperpigmentation causes dark patches of skin to appear. It can appear in just one area of your body such as your face, or on different areas of your body.

Skin discolouration from hyperpigmentation can show as brown, black, grey, red or pink spots. The most common types of dark spots or patches that appear on your skin are:

Freckles
Sun spots
Age spots or liver spots

What causes changes in skin pigmentation?

Melanin, the substance that gives your skin its colour, is made by skin cells in your body. When these skin cells become unhealthy or damaged it can result in changes in melanin production.

When the skin cells that make melanin become damaged or unhealthy, it can change the level of melanin production in your skin. Damage to these skin cells causes excess melanin, which can clump and form darker patches of skin.

The main causes of hyperpigmentation

Excess sun exposure causing sun damage to the skin
Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation – a skin injury including acne or burns
Hormonal changes during pregnancy or from ageing
Genetics
Melasma – a skin condition that occurs from changes in hormones or too much sun

exposure.

The best-targeted skin pigmentation treatments in London

What is the best way to treat hyperpigmentation? This is where there is not a one size fits all treatment option.

When you attend your initial consultation at our London skin clinic, you will have a full skin assessment with one of our practitioners. From this, they will be able to see what treatment will work best for your skin type and pigmentation concerns.

At Skin Perfection, we provide a range of hyperpigmentation treatment options. They will include one or a combination of the following:

Laser photo-facial skin rejuvenation treatment

Our laser photo-facial treatment is ideal for treating skin pigmentation issues. Not only is it great for reversing sun damage on your skin, but it also helps to treat inflammation, redness and an uneven skin tone.

It uses a specific amount of light energy to target brown patches of skin (sun damage) or red spots (thread veins and rosacea). The heat from the laser helps to tighten your skin, while also stimulating the production of collagen and elastin.

This laser treatment is not suitable for very dark-skinned people. If you have a darker skin tone, our practitioners will talk to you about other available treatments.

Benefits of this treatment

Comfortable treatment
Works to tackle skin concerns on the surface and deep layers of your skin
Minimal downtime
Helps give you glowing and radiant-looking skin
Works well with chemical skin peels to enhance your results

Chemical skin peels

Chemical peels or skin peels work well with laser treatments to help boost your results. Skin peels come in different strengths which means they can target different forms of skin pigmentation.

Lighter chemical peels are good for surface-level skin pigmentation. Deep skin peels on the other hand, work better on skin issues such as sun damage. By the end of your course of treatments, you will see a healthier-looking and balanced skin colour.

Lighter skin peels are good for all skin types. Deeper chemical skin peels may not work for darker skin tones. Please speak to our skin specialists before going forward with any treatment.

Benefits of this treatment

Skin peels work well on their own and when combined with other treatments
Balance skin tone and texture
Reduce signs of skin discolouration and skin pigmentation
Can work on most skin types including sensitive skin

Dermafrac microneedling

Dermafrac is a 4 in 1 skin rejuvenation treatment that helps you achieve clearer, hydrated and healthier looking skin.

Step one – crystal-free microdermabrasion helps to remove dead skin cells.

Step two – a microneedling session uses tiny needles to create micro punctures and stimulate your body’s natural healing process.

Step three – apply a deep tissue serum to tackle your brown spots or skin pigmentation issues. This helps to plump and rejuvenate your skin.

Step four – use LED light therapy to target your specific skin concerns including redness, inflammation and breakouts.

Personalised treatment to help you with your skin goals
Course of treatments gives you healthy and glowing skin
