Hyperpigmentation

What is Hyperpigmentation

Hyperpigmentation refers to areas of the skin that appear darker due to excess melanin production.

This can be caused by sun exposure, inflammation, hormonal changes, or acne scarring.

It often shows up as sun spots, age spots, or uneven patches of colour.

While completely harmless, hyperpigmentation can affect confidence — especially when makeup can’t fully cover it.

How is Hyperpigmentation Treated

At Dermamina, we treat pigmentation with tailored non-invasive options.

Microneedling stimulates cell renewal and collagen production, while mandelic peels gently exfoliate the skin to fade dark spots over time.

A combination approach may be used for deeper pigmentation, helping to brighten and smooth your skin with visible, lasting results.

Treatments that can help

Why Choose LaseMD for Hyperpigmentation

LaseMD Ultra is an advanced non-ablative laser treatment that effectively targets hyperpigmentation, sun damage, and uneven skin tone. By creating precise microchannels in the skin, it stimulates cell renewal and encourages the production of fresh, healthy skin cells — helping to break down excess melanin and fade dark patches.

At Dermamina London, LaseMD for hyperpigmentation is tailored to your skin type and pigmentation depth. The treatment gently resurfaces the skin, revealing a brighter, more even complexion with minimal downtime. It’s suitable for all skin tones and offers visible improvement in clarity and radiance.

Treating Pigmentation, Sun Damage and Uneven Skin Tone

Hyperpigmentation can appear as freckles, age spots, or larger uneven patches caused by sun exposure, inflammation, or hormonal changes such as melasma. LaseMD Ultra works deep within the skin to target these pigment irregularities while improving texture and restoring a healthy glow.

For enhanced results, LaseMD can be combined with Mandelic or Salicylic Peels and Skin Boosters. This combination brightens the complexion, smooths rough texture, and helps prevent future pigmentation from forming.
