PIGMENTATION TREATMENT

Age spots, brown spots, and pigmentation are generally harmless but can be quite noticeable, detracting from your skin’s natural beauty. However, you may worry that a pigmented lesion could indicate a more serious issue and seek reassurance that it’s benign.

​

At The Leading Clinic at Royal Kingston (TLCARK), we provide a variety of treatment options to address age spots and pigmented lesions. The recommended treatment will depend on the specific nature of the lesion.

 

Skin pigmentation issues arise from the overproduction of melanin, leading to areas of darker coloration and concerns such as:

• Sun damage – This can range from freckles and sun spots (age spots) to larger areas of discoloration.

• Melasma and chloasma – Patchy pigmentation, often seen in darker skin types, typically appearing on the forehead and upper lip. These conditions can be hereditary or triggered by factors like the oral contraceptive pill or pregnancy.

• Post-inflammatory pigmentation – This occurs when the skin produces excess pigment in response to injury or inflammation.

• Pigmented skin lesions – These require detailed examination under a dermoscope to rule out any serious underlying causes.

 

As part of our service, we offer complementary skin analysis for pigmentation treatment. This helps assess the deeper layers of the skin and predict potential damage that may develop over the coming years. Treatments range from personalised skincare regimens to advanced laser therapies.
