Pigmentation &
Uneven Skin Tone
Restore a brighter, more even complexion with advanced clinician-led treatments designed to reduce pigmentation, improve uneven skin tone and reveal naturally radiant skin.
Understanding Your Concern
What causes pigmentation
and uneven skin tone?
Pigmentation and uneven skin tone develop when the skin produces excess melanin, creating dark spots, patches and areas of discolouration. This can be triggered by sun exposure, hormonal changes, ageing, genetics or inflammation following acne and skin irritation. Different types of pigmentation require different treatment approaches, making an accurate diagnosis essential for achieving safe, effective and long-lasting results. At Privé, our clinicians carefully assess the underlying cause of your pigmentation before creating a personalised treatment plan designed to restore a brighter, more even and naturally radiant complexion.
-
Sun Exposure
UV exposure stimulates excess melanin production, leading to sunspots, uneven pigmentation and premature skin ageing.
-
Hormonal Changes
Hormonal fluctuations can trigger excess melanin production, contributing to melasma and uneven skin pigmentation.
-
Post-Inflammatory Pigmentation
The skin's healing response can trigger uneven melanin production, leaving persistent dark marks after acne or skin injury.
-
Ageing & Genetics
Natural ageing and genetic factors can influence melanin distribution, contributing to uneven skin tone and age-related pigmentation.

Frequently Asked Questions
What causes pigmentation?
Pigmentation occurs when the skin produces excess melanin, the natural pigment responsible for skin colour. Common triggers include sun exposure, hormonal changes, ageing, acne, inflammation and certain medications. Identifying the underlying cause is essential to selecting the most effective treatment and achieving long-lasting results.
Can pigmentation be permanently removed?
The answer depends on the type of pigmentation. Sun spots and post-inflammatory pigmentation can often be significantly improved or cleared, while conditions such as melasma are more complex and require ongoing management to reduce recurrence. A personalised treatment plan offers the best opportunity for lasting improvement.
What is the best treatment for pigmentation?
There is no single treatment suitable for every type of pigmentation. The most effective approach depends on the cause, depth and type of pigmentation, as well as your skin type. During your consultation, our clinicians will assess your skin and recommend a personalised treatment plan that may include Chemical Peels, Microneedling, Mesotherapy, Polynucleotides, Exosome Therapy or medical-grade skincare.
How many treatments will I need?
Most patients achieve the best results through a course of treatments rather than a single session. The number of treatments depends on the severity of pigmentation, your skin type and your treatment goals. During your consultation, we’ll provide a personalised plan with realistic expectations and a recommended treatment schedule.
Does pigmentation come back after treatment?
Some forms of pigmentation, particularly melasma, can return if the underlying triggers remain. Daily sun protection, appropriate skincare and, in some cases, maintenance treatments can help minimise recurrence and maintain your results.
Are pigmentation treatments suitable for all skin types?
Yes. Many pigmentation treatments can be safely tailored to different skin types when performed by experienced clinicians. We carefully assess your skin and select the most appropriate treatments to achieve effective results while protecting your skin’s health.
Will my skin peel after pigmentation treatment?
Not necessarily. While Chemical Peels may cause mild peeling as the skin renews, treatments such as Microneedling, Mesotherapy, Polynucleotides and Exosome Therapy typically involve minimal peeling or downtime. Your clinician will explain exactly what to expect before your treatment begins.
How long does it take to see results?
Some patients notice brighter, healthier-looking skin after their first treatment, while pigmentation usually fades gradually over several weeks as the skin naturally renews. The timeline varies depending on the type of pigmentation and your personalised treatment plan.
Can I prevent pigmentation from returning?
Protecting your skin from UV exposure is one of the most important steps in preventing pigmentation from returning. Daily use of broad-spectrum SPF, a consistent skincare routine and regular maintenance treatments, where appropriate, can help maintain a brighter, more even complexion.
Is pigmentation treatment painful?
Most pigmentation treatments are well tolerated and involve minimal discomfort. Depending on the treatment, you may experience a mild warming, tingling or prickling sensation, but this is usually temporary. Your comfort and safety remain our priority throughout your treatment.
Can acne leave pigmentation behind?
Yes. Acne can leave behind post-inflammatory pigmentation, where dark marks remain after blemishes have healed. Although these marks often improve over time, professional treatments can help accelerate skin renewal, improve overall skin tone and restore a clearer complexion.
