Skin Concern:
Uneven Skin Tone
Hyperpigmentation refers to an overproduction of melanin, the pigment that gives skin its colour. This can result in areas of darker skin, creating an uneven skin tone.
Uneven skin tone refers to variations in skin colour, often appearing as dark spots, patches, or blotchiness. This can be caused by several factors, resulting in a less radiant and youthful complexion.
Causes of Uneven Skin Tone & Hyperpigmentation?
Sun Damage: Excessive sun exposure is a primary culprit, leading to hyperpigmentation (increased melanin production) and the formation of sunspots and age spots.
Hormonal Changes: Hormonal fluctuations, such as those during pregnancy or menopause, can trigger an increase in melanin production, causing conditions like melasma.
Inflammation: Acne, injury, or other skin irritations can lead to post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, where the skin produces excess melanin in response to the injury.
Genetics: Some individuals are genetically predisposed to developing hyperpigmentation.
Medications: Certain medications can increase melanin production as a side effect.
Types of Uneven Skin Tone
Dark patches or spots caused by excess melanin production.
Lighter patches due to reduced melanin, often from scarring or conditions like vitiligo.
Uneven skin tone with red patches from irritation, rosacea, or sensitivity.
Yellowish or lifeless skin tone caused by dehydration, aging, or poor circulation.
Treating Uneven Skin Tone
Cleansers: Choose gentle, non-comedogenic cleansers that won't irritate the skin.
Exfoliants: Incorporate AHAs (like glycolic acid) or BHAs (like salicylic acid) to gently exfoliate and promote cell turnover.
Moisturisers: Use a lightweight, hydrating moisturizer with SPF 50 for daily sun protection.
Serums: Focus on serums with brightening ingredients like vitamin C, niacinamide, and azelaic acid.
White Peel + LED Light
A brightening peel that treats sun damage, hyperpigmentation and dull, uneven skin. Keeps melanin production under control.
Micro Express
Exfoliation is an important part of skin health as it deeply cleanses and promotes blood circulation, achieving a natural radiant glow.
Laser Therapy
Laser light transmits heat into the skin, which targets dark colouring. The laser shatters the pigment, drawing the pigment to the surface. This allows the dermis to start its natural healing process to reveal a more even complexion. Consultations available with one of our Therapists.
