Understanding Skin Pigmentation: What Are Your Options?

Pigmentation concerns, such as uneven skin tone, sunspots, or changes related to hormones or inflammation,etc are among the most common skin issues patients seek advice for. The most appropriate approach depends on the type of pigmentation, your skin tone, and individual health factors.

At Drcosmetist, Dr Sadaf Salehi offers comprehensive skin assessments and considers a range of options tailored to each patient’s needs. As a qualified GP and cosmetic doctor, she takes a holistic approach, supporting both the medical and aesthetic aspects of skin health.

Approaches That May Be Considered During Consultation
1. Skincare Planning

A personalised skincare routine can support skin tone and clarity over time. Certain ingredients, when selected based on your skin type and goals, may help improve overall brightness and texture. These options are discussed during consultation and may form part of your ongoing care plan.

2. Professional Chemical Peels

Chemical peels, performed in a medical setting, may assist with surface renewal and skin clarity. Different types of peels are used depending on your skin sensitivity and pigmentation depth. These are always selected based on a professional skin assessment.

3. Microneedling Treatments

Microneedling is a commonly used clinical procedure that may support overall skin quality. In some cases, it is paired with topical products selected for your skin's needs. Suitability is determined based on a consultation.

4. Supportive Care and Prevention

Maintaining skin health often includes strategies such as sun protection, barrier support, and lifestyle advice. Ongoing care plans may include professional skincare products and treatment intervals based on your skin’s response and goals.

Every Skin is Different
There is no one-size-fits-all solution for pigmentation. Dr Sadaf works with each patient to create a treatment plan that considers:

Your skin tone and sensitivity
The nature and cause of pigmentation
Lifestyle and sun exposure habits
Any underlying skin or health conditions
