Uneven tone & pigmentation

Understand the marks before choosing the treatment

Dark marks and uneven colour can develop for different reasons, including previous breakouts, sun exposure and melasma. Because these concerns behave differently, we start by looking at your skin and discussing when the changes appeared.

The aim is a plan that suits your skin, with realistic expectations about what can improve and how to maintain the result.

What are you noticing?

  • Dark marks left after spots or irritation

  • Patches of uneven colour

  • Sun spots or areas that have darkened over time

  • Skin that looks less even or radiant


OPTIONS WE MAY DISCUSS

  • Professional Skin Peel

A tailored Dermalogica Pro Power Peel may help improve the appearance of some types of uneven tone. We’ll choose an approach based on your skin, the cause of the pigmentation and how it responds to treatment.

  • Microneedling

A course of professional micro-needling may be considered when uneven tone comes alongside concerns such as texture or post-breakout marks, It will not be the right choice for every type of pigmentation.

  • A tailored skincare routine

The right home products and sun protection are an important starting point, particularly when pigmentation is likely to return or darken with light exposure.

Where do I Start?

You do not need to choose a treatment now. Book a consultation and we’ll decide together whether your skin would benefit most from changes to your routine, an in-clinic treatment or a combination of both. Pigmentation often takes time to improve, so we’ll talk through the manageable plan rather than promise a quick fix.
