Understanding Excess Pigmentation: Causes and Concerns

Pigmentation refers to the colour of your skin, determined by melanin, the natural pigment in your body. 

Excess melanin deposits in the skin cause hyperpigmentation—patches that appear darker than the surrounding areas. Unfortunately, this issue makes your skin tone appear uneven, aged, and unhealthy, undoubtedly affecting your confidence and possibly causing you social anxiety. 

Several factors can cause changes in melanin production, including

  • Sun exposure
  • Hormonal fluctuations from pregnancy, menopause, or medications
  • Post-inflammation from a healed skin injury or trauma 
  • Genetics

Personalised Pigmentation Assessments: Your First Step

Before treating hyperpigmentation, you must understand exactly what’s going on with your skin. And not just on the surface; pigmentation involves deeper skin layers where melanin is produced and regulated.

Enter the Visia Scan. When you come to The Beauty Base for a consultation, your skincare therapist will use this scan to uncover hidden details below your skin’s surface. With the scan’s 3D image of your skin, they can then determine the best pigmentation treatment plan for you.

Brightening Peels

These specialised treatments not only reduce hyperpigmentation but also work to improve your overall skin health. The result is a more even and radiant complexion in which you can feel confident.

Cosmelan Peel

The Mesoestetic brand’s Cosmelan Peel is the world’s leading professional depigmentation technique, specially formulated to treat hyperpigmentation, melasma, and dark spots.

The treatment enables you to see a healthier version of your skin with its skin-penetrating ingredients and increasing collagen production. Cosmelan peel inhibits tyrosinase production which reduces excessive melanin stimulation leading to controlled skin pigmentation treating melasma and post-inflammatory symptoms.

This two-step treatment begins with your skincare therapist applying a depigmenting mask, which you’ll rinse off in 8-12 hours. The second phase involves using a maintenance cream twice daily for six months to enhance the mask’s benefits.

Mesoestetic Peels

Our Mesoestetic Peels encourage the activity of fibroblasts, cells in your skin responsible for producing collagen and elastin. Enhancing collagen and elastin production means better skin renewal and more even melanin distribution.

Bio White Peptide Peel

This peel uses high-strength vitamin C to brighten, refine, hydrate, and nourish the skin, reducing hyperpigmentation, sun damage, and scarring by improving melanin production from within.

Catalyst Retinol Peel

This peel, featuring 2% retinol, promotes skin regeneration and reduces signs of ageing. Snap8, an additional ingredient, helps reduce wrinkle depth by blocking chemicals that trigger muscle contractions.

DMK Enzyme Therapy Peel

This powerful treatment combines deep-tissue detoxification and renewal with transfer messenger enzymes to enhance circulation, promote lymphatic drainage, and reoxygenate cells. It refines pores, improves blood flow, and flushes out toxins using natural, botanically-based products.

Innovative Light-Based Therapies for Pigmentation

Healite II

Healite II treatment is also non-invasive and pain-free. It delivers saturated LED energy deep into tissues to stimulate cellular activity and increase blood flow and healing. The resulting skin renewal and repair can create a more even skin tone and reduce the appearance of dark spots.

What’s amazing about this treatment is that the effects of the LED aren’t limited to when you’re under the light. They start a chain reaction of your skin cells calming and healing that continues long after your appointment!

Photo Rejuvenation

Photo rejuvenation is a form of laser therapy that uses light to target the skin’s pigment. The pigment absorbs the light’s heat and is drawn to the skin’s surface. This absorption process helps break down pigmentation issues like age spots and freckles and stimulates collagen production deeper in the skin.

Five to fourteen days after your session, the treated skin will naturally shed away to reveal luminous and rejuvenated skin.

If you’re suffering from pigmentation on your face, neck, chest, or hands, photo rejuvenation could be the answer!

Maintaining an Even Skin Tone:

Aftercare and Prevention

To maintain the benefits of your in-salon pigmentation treatments, follow these aftercare tips.

  1. Apply a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher sunscreen daily to protect your skin from UV rays, which can worsen hyperpigmentation. 
  2. Keep your skin hydrated with a gentle, non-comedogenic moisturiser to support healing and maintain a healthy skin barrier.
  3. Use products containing vitamin C or other antioxidants to protect your skin from environmental damage.
  4. Exfoliate regularly with exfoliants, like AHAs or BHAs, to promote cell turnover and prevent the buildup of pigmented cells.
  5. Follow post-treatment instructions from your Beauty Base therapist, including their recommendation of pigmentation products. We carry moisturisers, serums, and masks to brighten and even out your skin tone. 

We all know that prevention is better than a cure. To prevent further hyperpigmentation, be sure to adopt healthy lifestyle changes: maintain a balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals, drink plenty of water, get enough sleep, and manage stress to support overall skin health. 

It’s also important to avoid direct sun exposure by wearing hats, sunglasses, and protective clothing and seeking shade during peak sun hours.

FAQs About Pigmentation Treatment

What Treatment Is Best for Pigmentation?

Common effective hyperpigmentation treatments include chemical peels, Cosmelan, skin needling, laser therapy, and topical products containing melanin inhibitors, retinoids, vitamin C, and AHAs/BHAs.

Chemical peels, laser therapy, and microdermabrasion exfoliate the skin and promote cell turnover, helping to remove excess pigmentation.

Topical products containing hydroquinone, retinoids, vitamin C, and AHAs/BHAs can also lighten dark spots and even out skin tone.

Protecting your skin from sun exposure by wearing sunscreen and protective clothing and avoiding peak UV times can prevent excess pigmentation. 

Using specialised skincare products and having professional treatments can help reduce existing pigmentation.
