Skin Discolouration

What is Skin Discolouration?

Skin discolouration comes in many forms — melasma, rosacea, sun spots, post-inflammatory marks and age-related pigmentation — encompassing both pigmentary and vascular changes that can affect self-confidence and overall wellbeing. Causes range from hormonal factors and excessive sun exposure to inflammation and genetic predisposition, making a thorough dermatological assessment essential for the most effective personalised treatment.

How is Skin Discolouration treated?

The treatment of skin discolouration is fully personalised and may combine different approaches, depending on the type and extent of the discolouration, as well as your skin phototype.

Dermatological lasers (picosecond or vascular lasers) selectively target the discolouration without damaging the surrounding skin.
Chemical peels promote cellular renewal and gradually even out skin tone, while also improving texture and radiance.
Topical treatments and prescribed medication — tone-correcting, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory agents — work on the affected areas, helping to reduce inflammation.

What results can I expect?

With a tailored combination of treatments, patients can achieve a more even skin tone, refined texture, and enhanced radiance. Results vary according to the type of discolouration and the consistency of your dermatological follow-up.

Treatment time and recovery

Most treatments are minimally invasive, with a swift recovery. Laser and chemical peel sessions may leave mild redness or light flaking for a few days. The number of sessions will be tailored to the intensity and type of discolouration, with ongoing adjustments throughout your treatment journey.

Comfort during treatment

Most treatments are well-tolerated. Every protocol is tailored to your skin's sensitivity and lifestyle, prioritising both your safety and your wellbeing.
