PIGMENTATION CORRECTION

Correcting Pigmentation With Precision

At Qulin Aesthetic Clinic, pigmentation treatment begins with a detailed skin assessment to identify the type, depth, and likely cause of pigmentation. We assess sun damage, melasma, post-acne marks, inflammation, skin sensitivity, and current skincare habits before recommending a treatment plan.

Depending on your skin, treatment may involve chemical peels, depigmentation treatments, laser or IPL, microneedling, and targeted skincare ingredients. Our focus is to reduce visible discolouration, improve skin clarity, and help minimise recurrence through proper aftercare and daily sun protection.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Pigmentation Treatment FAQs

Find answers to common questions about pigmentation treatment, including melasma, sun damage, post-acne marks, suitable treatment options, recovery, and long-term maintenance.

What Causes Pigmentation On The Face?

Pigmentation can be caused by excess melanin production triggered by sun exposure, acne inflammation, hormonal changes, melasma, skin trauma, or ageing. The cause is important because different pigmentation types need different treatment approaches.

Is Pigmentation Treatment The Same For Everyone?

No. Melasma, sun spots, post-acne marks, and age spots behave differently. Some pigmentation sits closer to the skin surface, while deeper pigment may require a longer and more careful treatment plan.

Can Chemical Peels Help Pigmentation?

Yes. Professional chemical peels can help improve surface pigmentation, post-acne marks, dullness, and uneven tone by encouraging controlled skin renewal. The peel type must be selected carefully based on your skin tone and sensitivity.

Can Laser Or IPL Remove Pigmentation?

Laser or IPL may help certain types of pigmentation, especially sun spots and visible brown marks. However, not all pigmentation is suitable for laser, especially melasma-prone skin, which can sometimes worsen if treated incorrectly.

Can Pigmentation Come Back After Treatment?

Yes. Pigmentation can return, particularly if it is linked to melasma, hormones, heat, or UV exposure. This is why SPF, skincare maintenance, and avoiding unnecessary irritation are important after treatment.

What Is The Difference Between Pigmentation And Melasma?

Pigmentation is a broad term for darkened areas of skin. Melasma is a specific and more complex form of pigmentation that often appears in patches and can be influenced by hormones, heat, and sun exposure.

Can Pigmentation From Acne Be Treated?

Yes. Post-acne pigmentation can often improve with chemical peels, microneedling, skincare support, and sometimes laser-based treatments depending on the skin type and mark depth.

Is Pigmentation Treatment Suitable For Darker Skin Tones?

Yes, but treatment selection must be careful. Some lasers and aggressive peels can increase the risk of post-inflammatory pigmentation, so a proper skin assessment is essential before treatment.
