Pigmentation

“Pigmentation” refers to changes in your skin’s natural colour, usually caused by an increase (hyperpigmentation) or decrease (hypopigmentation) in melanin, the pigment that gives your skin its colour.

Common types of pigmentation we see include:

  • Melasma (patchy brown discolouration, often hormonal or sun-triggered)

  • Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (dark marks left after acne, eczema, or injury)

  • Sun spots / solar lentigines (small brown spots caused by UV exposure)

  • Freckles

  • Uneven skin tone or dullness

Key Information.

  • What causes pigmentation.

    Skin pigmentation can develop for several reasons:

    Sun exposure (the biggest driver of pigmentation changes)

    Hormonal changes (pregnancy, contraceptive pill, hormone therapy)

    Inflammation or injury (e.g. acne, eczema, scratching, burns)

    Certain medications or skin care products

    Genetic predisposition

  • Prognosis.

    Pigmentation conditions can be chronic or recurring, but improvement is achievable with the right treatments and sun protection.

    Melasma often relapses, triggered by hormones and sun.

    Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation can fade over months to years, depending on skin type.

    Sun spots can be treated but may return with ongoing sun exposure.

    Best results come with a combination of treatments, daily SPF, and consistent skincare.
