What Is Pigmentation Removal?

Pigmentation removal refers to a range of dermatology-led treatments designed to target excess melanin (the natural pigment in skin). When melanin clusters unevenly, it creates dark patches, spots, or discolouration β€” commonly called hyperpigmentation.

Our pigmentation removal treatments:

  • Fade dark spots, age spots, and sun damage
  • Address melasma caused by hormones or pregnancy
  • Improve post-inflammatory marks left after acne or eczema
  • Even out your overall complexion for healthier-looking skin

Unlike cosmetic-only treatments, Revitalise London provides medically-led care, meaning your skin is properly assessed, treated, and supported for long-term results.

Who Is Pigmentation Removal For?

Pigmentation removal may be suitable if:

  • You have stubborn sun spots, melasma, or acne marks that don’t improve with at-home skincare.
  • Your pigmentation is becoming more noticeable with age or sun exposure.
  • Makeup no longer covers patches as effectively as it once did.
  • You’ve tried cosmetic facials or over-the-counter creams with little or no improvement.
  • Pigmentation is affecting your confidence or causing uneven skin tone.

At Revitalise London, we help patients who are looking not just for cosmetic cover-ups, but for long-lasting, medical solutions tailored to their skin type and concerns.

Types of Pigmentation We Treat

We treat a wide spectrum of pigmentation concerns, including:

  • Melasma brown or grey patches typically on the face
  • Sun spots / age spots caused by long-term UV exposure
  • Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation acne or scar-related marks
  • Freckles & diffuse pigmentation common in lighter skin tones

Each condition requires a different treatment approach. Our dermatologists specialise in personalised care to ensure maximum safety and results for your unique skin.

Causes of Hyperpigmentation

Understanding what causes pigmentation helps us select the right treatment plan for you.

The most common causes include:

  • 🌞 Sun exposure & UV damage the leading cause of freckles, sun spots, and uneven tone.
  • 🀰 Hormonal changes melasma often develops during pregnancy or with hormonal contraceptives.
  • 😷 Post-inflammatory pigmentation (PIH) dark marks after acne, eczema, psoriasis, or injury.
  • ⏳ Ageing cumulative UV damage often leads to age spots on the face, chest, and hands.
  • 🧬 Genetics certain skin types are more prone to pigmentation changes.

At Revitalise London, we diagnose the root cause, ensuring your treatment is not just cosmetic but medically tailored for lasting improvements.

Had a wonderful experience with Dr Ken and his staff with my forehead lipoma removal. Thorough in planning before the procedure and so far, l've had a great experience with aftercare. When I had any questions there was always someone available to answer them.
