Pigmentation is caused by excess melanin production triggered by sun exposure, hormonal changes (such as pregnancy or contraceptives), inflammation from acne or injury, and ageing. Sun protection is essential during and after any pigmentation treatment to prevent recurrence.

Skin lightening treatments reduce the concentration or production of melanin in the skin. Melanin is the pigment responsible for the colour of our skin, eyes, and hair, and helps protect it from the sun. Decreasing melanin concentration can help fade darker areas and even out skin tones.

Melasma requires specialist treatment with careful light management. Browse and book the best melasma treatment clinics near you on Fresha.

It can take time to see results from skin lightening treatments, and they cannot be guaranteed. Some, like chemical peels or lasers, might show noticeable results in one or two sessions. Others, like topical treatments, will take weeks or even months to have visible effect. It depends on the treatment chosen, and your skin type.

Popular treatments include topical bleaching agents, chemical peels, laser therapy, and microdermabrasion. There are also gentler options using natural ingredients like licorice root, kojic acid, and Vitamin C.

This varies by treatment type and pigmentation severity. Chemical peels typically require 4-6 sessions; laser or IPL 3-6 sessions. Results build progressively. Sun avoidance and a good home skincare routine are critical for maintaining results.
