Hyperpigmentation

The color of your skin, hair, and eyes is determined by a pigment called melanin, produced by specialised cells known as melanocytes.

When functioning properly, melanocytes distribute melanin evenly throughout the skin, creating a balanced and radiant complexion.

However, when melanocytes become inflamed, damaged, or stressed, they can either over-produce pigment, resulting in hyperpigmentation (dark spots), or produce insufficient pigment, causing hypopigmentation (white patches).

Melanocytes are highly sensitive to triggering factors such as inflammation (e.g., acne, trauma, injury or aggressive treatments), hormonal changes, sun exposure, and certain medical conditions/medications. These factors can disrupt melanin production, leading to uneven skin tone.

At Leicester MediSpa, we focus on restoring balance to melanocyte activity, preventing excessive pigment production, and accelerating the turnover of existing pigmentation to help achieve a more even skin tone. Consulting with one of our expert practitioners is essential to accurately assess the underlying causes of your pigmentation concerns and to develop a personalised treatment plan that best suits your needs.

Treatment Options

Cosmelan Depigmentation Peel

Medical Skincare

Hyperpigmentation is a common concern that can be effectively addressed with the right topical skincare regimen. Sun exposure is one of the leading causes of pigmentation, making sun protection essential for successful treatment. Avoiding direct sun exposure and applying a high-factor broad-spectrum SPF daily is crucial in both managing and preventing pigmentation.

Topical medical ingredients such as hydroquinone, glycolic acid, and vitamins A and C are scientifically proven to lighten existing pigmentation, promote skin renewal, and prevent further discoloration. At Leicester MediSpa, we understand that every skin is unique. During your comprehensive consultation, our expert practitioners will design a bespoke skincare program tailored to your individual needs, ensuring optimal results while prioritising the health and safety of your skin.

ClearLift Laser

The ClearLift Laser, powered by the Alma Harmony XL PRO, is a revolutionary treatment designed to effectively address hyperpigmentation, sun damage, and uneven skin tone. Utilising an ultra-short pulse duration, the ClearLift Laser precisely targets pigment particles with a photo-acoustic effect, shattering them apart without generating heat. This advanced approach avoids thermal damage, protecting the surrounding skin and significantly reducing the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH)—a key concern for individuals with darker skin tones.

ClearLift targets hyperpigmentation through two key mechanisms:

  • Light and Sound Waves: The Q-switched ND-YAG laser delivers high-energy light impulses and acoustic soundwaves to break down melanin, the protein responsible for darkened skin. The fragmented melanin is then cleared naturally by the body’s immune system.
  • Cell Turnover: By stimulating the skin’s cell turnover process, ClearLift replaces damaged and hyperpigmented cells with healthy ones. This enhances the skin’s overall clarity and fades the appearance of brown patches, spots, and sun damage.

At Leicester MediSpa, we offer ClearLift Laser treatments as part of a customised skincare plan tailored to your unique concerns. Suitable for all skin types, including sensitive and darker skin tones, this innovative treatment delivers brighter, smoother, and rejuvenated skin with no downtime.

CO2 Laser

Carbon dioxide (CO2) laser resurfacing is considered the gold standard treatment for acne scars. Fractional CO2 laser utilises advanced technology to deliver targeted, controlled micro-injuries to the skin. This process stimulates the body’s natural healing response, encouraging the production of new collagen, elastin, and natural skin hydrators. As the skin repairs itself, scarred and uneven areas are gradually replaced with smoother, rejuvenated skin, improving both texture and tone.

Unlike traditional resurfacing methods, fractional CO2 laser technology treats only a fraction of the skin at a time, leaving surrounding tissue intact to promote faster healing and minimise downtime. This approach allows us to tailor treatments to the specific needs of your scars—whether rolling, boxcar, or ice-pick—while maintaining safety and comfort. With each session, visible improvements become more apparent, as scarred tissue remodels and healthy skin takes its place.
