Causes of Pigmentation
Sun Exposure
UV exposure increases melanin production, leading to areas of darkening and uneven tone.
Hormonal Changes
Fluctuations in hormone levels can trigger conditions such as melasma and pigmentation.
Ageing
Changes in skin over time can result in the development of age-related pigmentation.
Skin Injuries
Inflammation from acne, burns, or trauma can lead to post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
Genetic Factors
A genetic predisposition can influence the likelihood and pattern of pigmentation changes.
Treatments for Pigmentation
At Clinic 22, a range of advanced treatments is used to address pigmentation concerns, with a personalised plan developed by an experienced practitioner.
HydraFacial
HydraFacial is a non-invasive treatment that deeply cleanses, exfoliates, and hydrates the skin. By supporting cell turnover and removing surface debris, it can help improve overall skin tone and reduce the appearance of mild pigmentation, leaving the complexion clearer and more balanced.
SkinPen Microneedling
SkinPen Microneedling uses precision-controlled micro-needles to create targeted micro-injuries within the skin, stimulating collagen and elastin production. This process supports skin renewal, helping to improve overall tone and reduce the appearance of pigmentation over time.
Laser Facials
Laser facials target excess melanin within the skin, helping to reduce pigmentation and support a more even skin tone. The treatment stimulates collagen production, contributing to improved skin clarity and texture with consistent treatment, while supporting longer-term skin renewal and radiance.
Skincare Tips for Managing Pigmentation
Sun Protection: daily use of a broad-spectrum sunscreen helps prevent UV-induced darkening and protects overall skin clarity.
Regular Exfoliation: gentle exfoliation supports cell turnover and can improve the appearance of uneven tone.
Topical Treatments: ingredients such as vitamin C and retinoids can help regulate pigment and promote a more uniform complexion.
Healthy Diet: a balanced diet rich in antioxidants supports overall skin function and resilience.
Avoid Irritation: minimising skin trauma and inflammation can help reduce the risk of post-inflammatory pigmentation.
