Pigmentation & Melasma Treatment Overview

Uneven skin tone, stubborn dark spots, and discoloration can be frustrating, impacting both confidence and overall skin health. Hyperpigmentation, melasma, and sun-induced dark spots occur due to excess melanin production, often triggered by sun exposure, hormonal fluctuations, and inflammation.

At Image Clinic, we offer advanced treatment solutions to correct pigmentation issues and restore a radiant, even complexion. Using cutting-edge laser therapies, chemical peels, microneedling, and medical-grade skincare, we effectively reduce unwanted pigmentation and brighten the skin.

Our customized treatment approach targets:

✔ Melasma – Hormonal pigmentation, often appearing as dark patches on the face

✔ Sunspots & Age Spots – UV damage leading to uneven skin tone

✔ Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH) – Dark marks left behind from acne, injury, or irritation

✔ Freckles & Other Discoloration – Uneven pigmentation caused by genetics or environmental exposure

By breaking down excess pigment and promoting cellular renewal, our treatments deliver a smoother, more balanced skin tone, helping you achieve a naturally luminous glow.

What To Expect

✔ In-Depth Skin Analysis – We begin with a comprehensive skin assessment, identifying the root cause of your pigmentation to tailor the most effective treatment plan.

✔ Customized Treatment Selection – Based on your specific concerns, we may recommend laser resurfacing, IPL photorejuvenation, chemical peels, or targeted medical-grade skincare solutions.

✔ Treatment Session – The procedure typically lasts 45-90 minutes, depending on the type and intensity of treatment. Patients may experience mild warmth, tingling, or redness, which subsides within a few hours to days.

✔ Gradual Brightening & Skin Renewal – Some improvement can be seen immediately, but optimal results develop over weeks as the skin naturally regenerates and dark spots fade.

✔ Ongoing Maintenance for Lasting Results – Consistent skincare, sun protection, and periodic treatments help maintain an even, radiant complexion.

How To Prepare

✔ Avoid Sun Exposure & Tanning – UV exposure can worsen pigmentation and increase skin sensitivity before treatment.

✔ Stop Using Retinoids & Harsh Exfoliants – Discontinue retinol, AHA/BHA acids, and other strong exfoliating products at least one week before treatment.

✔ Stay Hydrated & Nourish Your Skin – Drinking water and using gentle, hydrating skincare preps the skin for optimal healing.

✔ Discuss Medications & Skin History – Inform our specialists of any medications or past skin conditions that may influence treatment results.

✔ Plan for Post-Treatment Care – Some treatments require downtime, so arrange your schedule accordingly.

Aftercare

✔ Minimal Downtime & Mild Redness – Most treatments involve minimal recovery, with mild redness or flaking resolving within a few days.

✔ Use Soothing, Hydrating Products – Stick to calming, non-irritating skincare, and avoid harsh exfoliants or actives post-treatment.

✔ Avoid Direct Sunlight & Wear SPF 50+ – Sun exposure can reverse treatment results, so applying a high-SPF sunscreen daily is essential.

✔ Refrain From Picking or Scrubbing the Skin – Let your skin heal naturally to prevent irritation, inflammation, or further pigmentation.

✔ Follow Up With Periodic Treatments – For long-term improvement, multiple sessions may be required, depending on pigmentation severity.
