Pigmentation
Pigmentation concerns can make the skin appear uneven, dull or patchy. At The Adare Clinic, we diagnose and treat pigmentation using a medically guided approach that considers both the type of pigment and its underlying cause. Whether the issue is sun damage, hormonal pigmentation or post-inflammatory marks, our goal is to restore clarity and evenness while protecting the skin’s health.
Understanding Pigmentation
Pigmentation can occur due to UV exposure, inflammation, hormonal influences or genetic predisposition. The most common types include sunspots, melasma and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Each behaves differently and requires tailored treatment to avoid worsening.
Expected Results
Most patients experience gradual brightening and evening of skin tone. Melasma and deeper pigmentation may require longer-term management.
Medical Safety
Pigmentation must always be treated under medical supervision, especially in darker skin tones or cases influenced by hormones.
what to expect during your consultation
examination
Your doctor evaluates the pigment depth, pattern and cause using clinical examination. Understanding whether the pigmentation is superficial or deeper in the skin determines the correct treatment approach.
personalised treatment plan
Your plan may include prescription lightening agents, topical medications, medical-grade skincare, chemical peels or selected light-based therapies. We focus on reducing pigment safely while preventing rebound pigmentation, which is common with improper treatment.
monitoring & prevention
Pigmentation requires careful, progressive treatment. Your doctor will guide you through maintenance strategies such as sun protection, pigment-controlling skincare and lifestyle adjustments.
