Terms and Conditions

Let's talk Pigmentation!

Melanin is the natural pigment that gives our skin its colour. An increase in melanin production will cause pigmentation, or dark brown marks on your skin. Triggers that increase the production of melanin can include sun exposure, hormonal changes, maturity, skin injuries or inflammation.

Understanding the cause, or trigger, of your unwanted pigmentation can be a great tool in managing and treating your pigmentation.

Treatment options are a plenty

Skin Needling, Medi-peel's and Laser are the most common ways to reduce unwanted pigmentation. 
Tailoring your treatments to your individual skin type and pigmentation is key in achieving desired results. A complimentary consultation with one of our Registered Nurses will ensure that you are on the right track with tackling your pigmentation! 
Now let's run through some of those treatment options, keeping in mind that for optimal results, these treatments may need to be repeated several times depending on the type of pigmentation we are targeting.

Dermapen - Superficial Pigmentation/Mild Sun damage

Minimal down time - 24 Hours 

Dermapen is a skin needling treatment and a great option for those looking to brighten up and reduce some superficial pigmentation, which is mostly caused by sun exposure. This treatment is a great all-rounder and suitable for all skin types, not only does it tidy up some pigmentation, but you'll also induce a nice collagen boost! 
Down time includes leaving the clinic feeling flushed and a little red which will settle down within hours, if not overnight. Results will be noticeable from 2 weeks onwards with your skin absolutely glowing!

Alma Harmony Pro Laser - Severe Sun Damage

Moderate Down time 7-10 Days

Extensive sun damage/pigmentation calls for the holy grail of lasers - The Alma Harmony Pro! This machine can do a lot of things, let's focus on the pigmentation for now! This erbium fractional ablative laser is used to resurface the skin, removing that deep pigmentation embedded in the high dermis, resulting in fresh new skin being generated! The Harmony Pro is an erbium laser meaning we can treat the entire spectrum of skin colours regardless of ethnicity. Downtime for this laser ranges from 7-10 days post treatment, with clients experiencing a sunburn like redness, warmth in the treated area, and some flaking of the skin as it heals. This is one treatment you may want to tie in with couple of quiet weekends. Following resurfacing laser it is imperative to avoid sun exposure during the healing of the skin.

Maintenance following treatment

Ok. So we have reduced the unwanted pigmentation. Our skin tone is even, hydrated and glowy following our pigmentation removal treatment (that also happened to give us our bonus collagen boost!) where to from here??

Pigmentation can come back, we now need to be proactive in hindering its return. 
The first point of call is going to be Skincare. Specifically a Tyrosinase Inhibitor, this particular product will reduce/inhibit the bodies production of melanin, in turn maintaining the results of your pigmentation removal. 
We recommend both:

  • The ASPECT Complete Pigment Plus Serum & 
  • Epi Dr Pigment Serum.


The second easiest way to keep excess pigmentation at bay is reducing your sun exposure! Wear that hat, use your SPF 50+ and cover up where possible!
