Pigmentation is one of the most common signs of skin ageing, but not all dark spots are the same, and not all require the same treatment.<\/p>\n

Over time, sun exposure, hormonal changes and inflammation can affect melanin production, leading to an uneven complexion. Pigmentation is also often accompanied by other signs of ageing, including loss of elasticity, reduced firmness and changes in skin texture.<\/p>\n

This is why treating pigmentation should not simply be about removing dark spots, but also about improving the overall quality of the skin.<\/p>\n

Understanding Different Types of Pigmentation<\/h2>\n

Sunspots, also known as solar lentigines or age spots, are usually associated with cumulative sun exposure. Melasma, on the other hand, is a more complex condition, often influenced by hormonal changes and sunlight.<\/p>\n

Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation can develop following acne, skin irritation or certain aesthetic treatments.<\/p>\n

Identifying the type of pigmentation is essential, as a treatment that works well for one condition may not be suitable for another.<\/p>\n

Improving Uneven Skin Tone and Skin Quality<\/h2>\n

When pigmentation is accompanied by early skin laxity, dullness or uneven texture, combination treatments can offer a more comprehensive approach.<\/p>\n

Luminage combines PRX-T33 or PRX PLUS with radiofrequency. This treatment is designed to improve skin radiance, texture and firmness while supporting a more even-looking complexion. It is particularly suited to patients seeking an overall improvement in skin quality with minimal downtime. Its suitability for pigmentation depends on the underlying condition.<\/p>\n

Laselift combines two laser technologies, Nd and Er, to stimulate skin remodelling and regeneration. By targeting different aspects of skin ageing, it can improve skin laxity, texture and, in selected patients, pigmentation associated with sun damage.<\/p>\n

For more defined age-related pigmentation and sunspots, the Q-switched laser<\/a> offers a targeted approach. Using very short pulses of laser energy, it selectively targets pigment within the skin, helping to reduce the appearance of suitable benign pigmented lesions.<\/p>\n

The Importance of Skincare Before and During Treatment<\/h2>\n

Professional treatments are only part of managing pigmentation. A consistent home skincare routine can help prepare the skin, support treatment results and reduce the risk of further discolouration.<\/p>\n

The Rejuve Cliniceuticals range includes targeted products that can be incorporated into a personalised pigmentation protocol:<\/p>\n
