Skin concern

Pigmentation

Uneven patches of colour, from sun exposure, hormones or past blemishes, need careful identification before any treatment is chosen.

Pigmentation is an umbrella term covering sun-induced spots, hormonal melasma, and the marks left behind after blemishes or injury. They look similar but behave very differently, and treating the wrong one the wrong way can make it worse. That is why identification comes first.

Consultation routes often discussed include prescribed and medical-grade skincare (the backbone of most pigmentation plans), carefully selected skin peels, and strict sun protection strategy. Some pigmentation is best left alone or referred for medical review; if we think a mark needs your GP's opinion, we will tell you plainly.

A note on suitability. The information above is general education, not a diagnosis. The right approach for your skin can only be determined at a consultation, where your practitioner will assess suitability and discuss realistic options, which may include skincare alone, or no treatment at all.

Consultation-led care

Start with a conversation about your skin

Every treatment journey begins with an unhurried consultation, an honest assessment of your skin, your options and what is realistic for you. There is never any obligation to proceed.
