Skin pigmentation – What is it and how can I treat it?
One of the top enquiries we receive on a daily basis is about skin pigmentation treatments. So many of us suffer from skin pigmentation, which can be a distressing problem especially if you can’t cover or conceal it.
What causes pigmentation?
There are two main types of pigmentation issues; hyperpigmentation and hypopigmentation. Hyperpigmentation is the darkening of the skin and hypopigmentation is the loss of skin colour. The loss of skin colour can be triggered by a number of causes such as injury, genetic conditions and environmental conditions. Darkening of the skin can also be caused by a number of factors; scarring, exposure to sunlight and Addison’s disease can lead to skin darkening, as well as hormonal changes, such as pregnancy. Hormonal pigmentation is called Melasma and is incredibly common, Zion Market Research found that 50% to 75% of pregnant Americans and 80% of pregnant women in Mexico have melasma.
Can pigment be cured completely?
Where possible, prevention is far better than a cure. Daily sun cream with an SPF 30 or more is crucial as UVA rays (the ones that can contribute to skin cancer, premature skin ageing and pigmentation) are always present, even in winter when you’re unlikely to get burnt by UVB rays. Make sure that you don’t scrimp on the amount you apply and remember to reapply throughout the day.
There are some very effective treatments to improve hyperpigmentation; the type of treatment and how many sessions required very much depend on the cause of your pigmentation and what layer the pigmentation sits in your skin. Some pigmentation can be very deep whilst some can be very superficial. Your practitioner should be able to discuss the success rate of treatments based on their experience and the outcome of clinical studies but with all medicine, aesthetic medicine included, individuals respond differently to treatment so no one should make guarantees to you about how you will respond.
What is the best treatment for pigmentation?
This very much depends on the type of pigmentation you have. It’s always advisable to have a Visia scan with a professional so that you’re able to see how deep your pigmentation this can give some guidance on the type of treatment that is most suitable for you. Kerri, Clinic Manager of The Skin to Love Clinic, explains:
“One size doesn’t fit all when it comes to treating pigmentation and I would absolutely advise getting advice from a professional who understands the condition and the available treatments. Certain types of pigmentation, such as Melasma, should be treated very cautiously as some treatments can actually stimulate the condition to look worse. At the Clinic, we are lucky to have an armoury of treatments that can help to improve pigmentation including Obagi Nu-derm, Fraxel Dual, Byonik and Clear+Brilliant.”
3 Top tips
- Be cautious. Please be cautious when trying to treat pigmentation without professional guidance. Sadly, we have seen many patients seeking professional help after making their pigmentation worse and/or damaging their skin after ordering products from the internet or creating home-remedies.
- Have patience. This is the biggest thing to keep in mind when treating pigmentation. The likelihood is that your pigmentation took many years to form and reversing it can take time and there’s no over-night fix.
- Avoid the sun. This means wide-brimmed hats with UV protection, sitting in the shade rather than direct sunlight, high-factor physical SPF reapplied throughout the day and absolutely no sunbeds (fake tan all the way!). This advice is beneficial in more ways than one: melasma can resurface if stimulated by the sun; new sunspots can rise to the surface of your skin and existing sun damage can become worse if exposed to UV rays; UV rays are one of the key players in skin ageing so avoidance will keep you looking younger, for longer; avoiding harmful UV rays help to reduce your chances of skin cancer. If you are concerned about your vitamin D levels because of sun avoidance, please speak to your GP as there are other ways of topping up your levels without sun exposure.
If you have any concerns about pigmentation and would like to discuss further with one of our medical practitioners, please don’t hesitate to contact us for a consultation.

Jane & Natalia were very informative and friendly. They were quickly able to diagnose my skin condition through facial scanning & recommended a skincare course for me. I was assured they are there to help with any questions along the way & with regular reviews too. My first time at this clinic and from when I walked in through the door I was greeted with a warm welcome by the front desk staff.

Jane and the team are amazing. Always so welcoming and always remember you by name each time you go in. I started my skin journey back in early 2019 and I’ve never looked back. Whilst they offer a wide range of treatments they never employ pushy sales tactics and are careful to take all your needs into consideration before recommending a treatment - it’s usually me asking about a treatment and Jane will say whether it would or wouldn’t be good for what I want to achieve. I’ve entrusted them for everything from skin review to laser treatments, as well as Botox to hair removal. Service is second to none and would HIGHLY recommend!

I went to the clinic last week. I met Jane who explained the types of treatment to me. It was very clear and I opted for the reduction of fat from the abdomen and love handles.Today i had my first session and it was absolutely fantastic.Initially you can feel like a painful but bearable pinch on the abdomen. After five minutes everything becomes very quiet and you can do another activity like checking your email and maybe chat on the phone with a friend.Jane and Nathalie were great , kind , and very professional .I can t wait to do the second treatment to see the results . I highly recommend this Clinic 100%.Rita

From the consultation to the end of the treatment, Natalia was kind, patient, understanding and extremely professional. She listened to my issues and then recommended the right treatment but put no pressure on me. Infact she encouraged me to have a think and do some research before i committed to anything. On the treatment table she explained everything she was doing and I could tell I was in very good hands. The procedure was uncomfortable and it could have been very easy to start panicking but she put me totally at ease and her confidence and professionalism meant that I had the utmost faith in her and my results were brilliant, far better than I had anticipated. Would throughout recommend her and the practice. 5 stars!

Amazing experience. Jane The dermatologist was knowledgeable but also caring, she gave me tailored advice and an aftercare plan.

She listened to my concerns and found ways to work with my situation, even gave me some stress ball to help with my nerves :). Looking forward to my next appointment.

I cannot recommend the team the innovation and treatments more highly than at the Skin To Love Clinic. They are at the cutting edge of beauty and have new ways and procedures that make your skin look beautiful. I've spent many years on Harley and Wimpole street and assumed you couldn't get this level of investment and treatments anywhere else but the Skin the Love clinic not only offer every top treatment but the Jane and Sue are so skillful and have a real eye for what will work for you. Their mini thread lift is incredible as is their 'vampire' treatment but skin since I have moved to St Albans has improved dramatically

I have several issues with my skin and have been working with my doctor to deal with them. He referred me to a Dermatologist who advised on the treatment I needed. It took me a while to find the right place with the level of expertise that I needed and The Skin to Love Clinic ticked all of the boxes. My first experience with The Skin to Love Clinic was about 2 years ago. I had a consultation with Jane and immediately knew I was in good hands. I had a series of Fraxel laser which dealt with the issue as well as improved the quality of my skin. I am now dealing with a different issue and without hesitation made an appointment with Jane. What a relief to know that once again, I will be in the best hands and get the most appropriate treatment for my skin, not only dealing with the issue but also improving the health of my skin at the same time.

I visited the Skin to Love Clinic today for my fourth and final treatment of Sunekos today. The results have exceeded my expectations. My skin is plumper and lines are definitely diminished. I look younger, healthier and I’m definitely happier. As always the experience was second to none from the moment you walk through the front door, from the receptionist, to all the clinicians, who make you feel welcome and comfortable with their warmth and friendliness whilst still maintaining their professionalism, instilling the confidence needed when embarking on cosmetic treatments. Thank you to all the team! I can’t recommend this clinic enough! Rita x

I had a consultation today, the clinic is lovely and staff are very welcoming, I’m so happy with the information I was given, I’m quite excited to start using the products recommended for my skin type and see the change that occurs, it was so nice to actually have a in-depth conversation with someone that clearly knows what they are talking about, in the past Iv always made the mistake of trusting a beautician and trying treatments that are not suited to my skin.. yes they are great at some things they do but they are not trained enough to offer the advice and treatment that has been offered to me at the skin to love clinic... it’s also great to see the breakdown of all the skin complaints on the computer as it helps to point out the main issues, i can’t wait to start treatment in the very near future, fingers crossed onwards and upwards... thanks for the help today

The Ice Soprano laser treatment is actually bearable. In fact, I hardly felt much! I was in for just over 2 hours and I was nervous but honestly it was a breeze. I had previously had 4 treatments of laser hair removal years ago (somewhere else and not the soprano ice) and it was so painful, but this wasn't at all! Today was my first session, I have 7 more to go and now I'm not worried about that :)

A huge thank you to Jane Lewis at The Skin to Love Clinic for my wonderful treatment today (dermal fillers in my cheeks and lower face). I am in my mid 40’s and was really starting to notice that the area around my mouth and jowls was looking rather droopy and saggy. I am also getting married in a few weeks and was in need of some gentle rejuvenation. Jane gave me fillers in my cheeks to lift up the lines and then gently filled the area around my nose to mouth lines, chin and jaw. What a skilled nurse she is, she was extremely gentle and very reassuring, explaining everything step by step. It didn’t hurt at all, and all I could feel was a tiny scratch when the needle first goes in, but that was it. The results are amazing, instantly I can see that my saggy lower face has lifted, the lines are smoother and I have a little more subtle volume in my cheeks. No bruises or red marks. In fact, no-one would know, I just look better and refreshed, a few years taken off of me in time for my wedding. I am over the moon, thank you so much Jane and her fabulous clinic manager Kerri. I will definitely be back 😊.

I made the mistake of buying a product called Eyesential; an under eye enhancer which temporarily erases puffiness, fine lines, dark circles and wrinkles in minutes and lasts for up to 8 hours. I used this product for a period of 7 years. During this time, the skin under and around my eyes became thinner, reddened, chronically dry and intensely wrinkled. I thought there was nothing I could do and would be left like this. I felt so depressed. Then one day when I was in The Skin to Love Clinic having treatment for Laser Hair Removal; I was informed about Thermage for the very first time. I now have this procedure done yearly. Jane has brought my skin back to its original state and more. My confidence has come back and I feel a so much happier. This treatment really works!

I went to The Skin To Love Clinic for a consultation today with regard to gaining treatment advice for the skin on my stomach after having three children. I did my research and after travelling for over an hour I met with Jane. I could not have asked for a warmer welcome from Jane and her team. She instantly put me at ease with her knowledge and understanding of the treatments that are provided at her clinic. She gave me a thorough run down of what she thought would be best for me and why. From the moment I arrived to my departure, I found the staff and environment to be extremely professional yet inviting. I am looking forward to going back and having my treatments.Having now been back to the Clinic to see Jane for the third time today and I stand by what I have said above. Jane is outstanding in her knowledge of treatments and explains them thoroughly. An outstanding setting which I am so pleased I have found and one that I would highly recommend.

Fantastic care and service by the Skin to Love clinic as always. Great advice and treatment by Kerry, Stella and Jane. I’ve been visiting the clinic for a few years now and the attention to detail is always their priority and they always take time to explain everything fully. I’d recommend to everyone who would like to improve their skin.

It was my second round of Plasma IQ. Emma was a delight in the pre-care and couldn’t have looked after my needs better.Stella took a long time to review the process from the first Plasma IQ treatment (and the results so far). She then revised the second procedure accordingly to ensure maximum results are achieved.By leaving the numbing cream on for longer, I didn’t experience the sensitivity to the procedure this time and the subsequent swelling is greatly reduced.Everyone at Skin to Love is warm, welcoming and caring. I couldn’t ask for more.

When I had gotten so low in myself, friends and family had noticed a decline in my self-esteem I had to do something.I found the skin clinic on my Facebook wall a quick message and the clinic called me for a consultation the very next day.I was greeted with a confident and reassuring voice and had all my questions answered.My first visit I was greeted by the girls on reception who are so nice and friendly, offered me a warm drink too.Meeting Jane, was just fantastic she explained the causes of rosacea with a little bit of self help Confidence thrown in.Jane, has given me a new skin regime that has made me feel so much better about myself.I am 2 weeks in now with changes happening already!When i saw the results on the screen, it has given me the confidence to carry on with my treatment to achieve the results I would like.A quick appointment and a few tweaks I am on my way to managing my rosacea.Thank you team x

Forget Harley Street - The Skin To Love is the place to go!!My son who suffered from Acne hated his skin so much he wouldn't leave the house, his confidence hit rock bottom and was at a loss with his skin. We tried everything from expensive products to going into London to see dermatologists. One day he told me he'd seen the Skin To Love in St Albans and suggested we go in for a consultation.This was a few months ago and since then I am lost for words on how absolutely incredible Jane and her experienced team have been. Not only has my Son's skin been transformed but they have helped him rebuild his confidence. Nothing is too much trouble at the Skin To Love. The service is 5* and is 100x better than any central London clinic. The team take great care in explaining procedures and products and give great advice if you are ever unsure about anything. You are never forced to buy anything - again unlike most of these London clinics who push their products. I have recommended this wonderful clinic to all my friends and family and can only thank you for helping my Son feel like himself again! Special thanks to the following ANGELS - Jane, Su & Stella and the wonderful reception team who are outstanding in the welcome they give you!

Excellent treatment! The team at The Skin To Love Clinic are professional and provide a very high standard of care. I travelled over 100 miles to visit the clinic and have my treatments with them, this included bypassing clincis in London that offered similar treatments.The Skin to Love Clinic was recommended by a friend and I wound absolutely recommend you make the journey to visit the clinic, even just for a consultation.I wont be looking anywhere else for my skin care products, treatments or clinical advice.

I have never felt so confident about my skin. I feel I can go outside and not wear make up. I am so happy I was introduced to Skin To Love and would definitely recommend for anyone to start using their products. All colleagues make you feel so welcome and are very professional yet really friendly.

I have been going to the Skin to Love Clinic for almost 2 years and have noticed and big improvement in the appearance of my skin. Recently I've been getting spots in the same area of my face and today after a long phonecall with Kerry and went in and had laser treatment to help the acne on my chin. I've already noticed an change in my skin after only 2 hours.

I visited the skin to love clinic in May to have the lip filler procedure. I was extremely pleased with the overall results after my visit. The staff were extremely friendly and the whole procedure was explained to me in great detail with regards to the procedure, side effects, after care the product they use and why the length of time it lasts can vary in different clients. It gave me great confidence in the products they use, the high quality of the clinic and training of the nurses and so I am returning for further treatments in the near future.Thank you to Jane who completed my procedure for me , I love the results and the confidence boost it gave me.
