Pigmentation is one of the most common concerns we treat at Hello Skin Clinic Birmingham. Whether it’s caused by sun exposure, hormones, acne or ageing, pigmentation can make your skin tone appear uneven and dull.
Common types include sunspots, melasma and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH). Each requires a different approach, so accurate diagnosis is essential.
Preventing pigmentation starts with daily SPF, even during winter. UV exposure is the primary cause of dark spots, and Birmingham’s cloudy weather doesn’t prevent UV rays from reaching the skin.
For treatment, chemical peels are a top choice, particularly BioRePeel and targeted pigment peels. These help fade dark spots, brighten the complexion and accelerate cell turnover.
Microneedling is another excellent treatment, especially for pigmentation left behind from acne. By stimulating collagen and encouraging skin renewal, it gradually reduces uneven tone.
For more stubborn pigmentation, laser therapy may be recommended depending on your skin type and pigmentation level.
At Hello Skin Clinic, we create customised pigment-fading treatment plans based on your skin type, concern and lifestyle.
