Understanding Pigmentation & Discoloration
Skin pigmentation and discoloration are common dermatological concerns that can affect skin tone uniformity, clarity, and confidence. These changes may appear as dark patches, spots, uneven tone, or post-inflammatory marks, and can arise due to multiple underlying factors.
At Bare & Beauty Aesthetic and Wellness, pigmentation treatment is doctor-led, assessment-based, and protocol-driven, with a focus on accurate diagnosis, skin safety, and gradual improvement, rather than cosmetic cover-ups or aggressive procedures.
All pigmentation treatments are offered only after an in-person dermatological consultation.
Pigmentation occurs when there is an imbalance in melanin production or distribution in the skin. Discoloration may be localised or diffuse and can vary in depth and cause.
Common types of pigmentation concerns include:
- Sun-induced pigmentation
- Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (after acne, injury, or procedures)
- Uneven skin tone and patchy discoloration
- Age-related spots
- Hormone-related pigmentation (other than melasma)
Accurate identification of the type and depth of pigmentation is essential before initiating treatment.
How Pigmentation Treatment Is Planned
Pigmentation management at our clinic follows a structured clinical approach:
–Detailed skin and pigmentation assessment
-Identification of pigmentation type and triggers
-Evaluation of skin type, sensitivity, and medical history
-Determination of pigmentation depth (superficial vs deeper)
-Selection of suitable medical and procedural options
-Explanation of timelines, limitations, and maintenance needs
Treatment is customised and often phased, especially for sensitive or darker skin types.
Who May Be Suitable for Pigmentation Treatment
