We take the time to assess your pigmentation concerns and create a tailored treatment plan that will help improve skin tone, texture and overall skin health. From laser treatments to chemical peels, we will find the right pigmentation treatments for you and your skin type.
What types of skin pigmentation issues can you treat?
When we talk about skin pigmentation, we are referring to the colour of your skin, which is the result of how much melanin you have. This is a pigment that gives your skin its colour.
When you start to see dark patches of skin forming, this is because there has been an increase in melanin production. This is also known as hyperpigmentation. These darker patches of skin can appear on your face and other areas of your body.
The most common types of skin pigmentation issues we treat are:
- Age spots or liver spots which result from too much sun exposure
- Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation – from acne, acne scars or another skin injury
- Melasma – common in women during hormonal changes in pregnancy
During your consultation at our Leicester skin clinic, we will carry out a full assessment of your skin. This will help us to identify what is causing your pigmentation concerns and what will be the best course of treatment.
What are the best skin pigmentation treatments in Leicester?
Laser treatment – IPL
Intense Pulsed Light or IPL is a unique laser treatment that can help treat uneven skin tone and pigmentation issues. With a course of treatment, you will see skin that is brighter and looks more healthy.
It is a non-invasive treatment that targets and breaks down areas of pigmentation on the skin’s surface. It also stimulates collagen production and encourages the growth of new and healthy skin cells.
This laser treatment can help reduce melasma, or hyperpigmentation resulting from acne scars or sun damage. The laser technology is safe to use on the face and other areas of the body including the neck, hands and chest. It also requires minimal downtime, so you can get back to your normal routine.
How many treatments do I need?
You may see results after just one treatment. However, we do recommend having a course of up to three laser treatments to see maximum benefits to your skin. This will depend on the area you want to treat and how much pigmentation you have.
Chemical peels
Chemical peels use a chemical solution to help resurface your skin. You can have light, medium or deep peels. Which strength of peel we recommend depends on your skin tone and skin type. The good news is that there are chemical skin peels to suit all skin types.
Skin peels work by exfoliating and removing the outer layers of your skin. They encourage the production of collagen and healthy new skin cells, which helps to brighten your complexion. Because of this, they are effective in treating sun-damaged skin, acne, redness and uneven skin tone.
How many treatments do I need?
This will depend on the degree of skin pigmentation you have. Usually, you will need a course of at least three peels to tackle hyperpigmentation and melasma.
HydraFacial
The HydraFacial treatment uses a six-step system to cleanse, exfoliate and hydrate your skin. It is a great treatment for helping to brighten, clear and plump your skin.
The key to reducing unwanted pigmentation is the exfoliating process. This is because removing the top layer of the skin helps to fade or remove dark patches of skin. After a course of treatment, you will see a visible improvement in the tone and texture of your skin.
Even after treating your pigmentation, a HydraFacial is a great way to complement your regular skincare routine. Not only will they boost hydration in your skin, but they will also keep your skin glowing.
How many treatments do I need?
One of our doctors will discuss how many HydraFacial treatments you will need to help reduce unwanted pigmentation. This will happen during your consultation.
Vampire Facial
This treatment involves extracting a small amount of your blood to process it and isolate platelets rich in growth factors. We then inject these platelets back into your skin to help stimulate collagen production and new skin cells. This helps improve your skin tone and texture.
How many treatments will I need?
The number of treatment sessions you need will depend on your individual pigmentation problems. On average, our patients have around three sessions on a monthly basis to get the best results.
