Improve Uneven Skin Tone and Reveal a Brighter-Looking Complexion
Uneven pigmentation can make the complexion appear dull, uneven or patchy. Dark spots, sun damage, post-inflammatory pigmentation and melasma are among the common concerns that may affect the appearance of skin tone.
At Saranghae Aesthetics, we offer several treatment options for pigmentation. Because different types of pigmentation have different causes and behaviours, proper assessment is an important first step.
What Causes Skin Pigmentation?
Pigmentation occurs when melanin production or distribution within the skin becomes uneven.
Common pigmentation concerns include:
- Freckles
- Sun spots and age spots
- Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation
- Acne-related pigmentation
- Uneven skin tone
- Sun damage
- Melasma
- Selected benign pigmented lesions
UV exposure, hormonal changes, inflammation and skin injury can all contribute to pigmentation.
Treatment Options for Skin Pigmentation
Q-Switched Pigment Laser
[Q-Switched Pigment Laser] delivers short, high-energy pulses that target unwanted pigment. It may be used for selected freckles, sun spots, age spots and other superficial pigmentation concerns following assessment.
AdvaTx Laser
[AdvaTx Laser] uses two wavelengths that can be customised for different skin concerns. It may be considered for selected pigmentation, melasma, sun damage and uneven skin tone.
Whitening Laser
[Whitening Laser] may be considered for patients looking to improve the appearance of uneven skin tone and overall brightness as part of a personalised skin treatment plan.
Fractional CO2 Laser
For selected patients with pigmentation together with significant textural concerns, [Fractional CO2 Laser Skin Resurfacing] may improve the appearance of sun damage, uneven texture and selected pigmentation concerns while stimulating collagen.
Carbon Peel Laser
[Carbon Peel Laser] combines a carbon-based facial treatment with laser energy and may be considered for patients looking to improve the appearance of dullness, congestion, pores and overall skin clarity.
EVE Aqua Facial
[EVE Aqua Facial & Myostimulation] focuses on cleansing, exfoliation and hydration. While it is not primarily a pigmentation treatment, improving skin hydration and surface clarity may complement a broader skin-rejuvenation plan.
Why Pigmentation Requires a Personalised Approach
Not all pigmentation responds to the same treatment.
Sun spots, post-inflammatory pigmentation and melasma can behave differently and may require different approaches. In some cases, pigmentation can also recur even after successful treatment.
Your skin type, pigmentation pattern, medical history, lifestyle and sun exposure will therefore be considered when planning treatment.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can pigmentation come back after treatment?
A: Yes. Pigmentation may recur, particularly when the underlying triggers such as UV exposure or hormonal factors remain present. Consistent sun protection is an important part of pigmentation management.
Q: How many treatments will I need?
A: The number varies according to the type, depth and extent of pigmentation and the treatment selected.
Q: Is laser suitable for all skin types?
A: Laser treatments can be used for many different skin types, but settings need to be carefully selected. Certain skin types may have a higher risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, so your doctor will assess your skin before treatment.
Q: Can skincare help with pigmentation?
A: Appropriate skincare and sun protection can play an important role in managing pigmentation and supporting treatment results. Your doctor may recommend a suitable skincare routine alongside in-clinic treatment.
