Restore Clarity and Balance to
Uneven Skin Colour
Pigmentation concerns can appear as dark patches, sun spots or areas of discolouration that affect the uniformity of the complexion. These changes may be superficial or deeper within the skin, and while skincare can help maintain general skin health, targeted pigmentation treatment is often needed to address more persistent concerns.
Prophile Clinics provides a wide range of pigmentation treatment options designed to improve uneven pigmentation, sun-related discolouration and changes in skin tone. These treatment pathways focus on supporting clearer, more balanced skin through methods that target pigment at various depths while maintaining the overall health and integrity of the skin.
What Is Pigmentation?
Pigmentation refers to the natural colour produced by melanin within the skin. When melanin becomes unevenly distributed, areas of darkness can develop. These may occur on the face, chest or body and can present as freckles, sun-related pigmentation, melasma or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
The depth of the pigment plays a large role in selecting the most suitable pigmentation treatment. Superficial pigment may respond well to chemical peels or microneedling, while deeper forms often require laser treatment to achieve meaningful improvement.
Causes of Pigmentation
Pigmentation may be influenced by several internal and external factors, including:
- Sun exposure
- Hormonal changes
- Skin injury or inflammation
- Genetics
- Changes associated with general skin ageing
Prevention of Pigmentation
Preventative habits can help reduce the likelihood of new pigmentation forming and support long-term skin health:
- Daily use of broad-spectrum sun protection
- Avoiding skin picking or trauma
- Supporting skin barrier health with appropriate skincare
- Seeking professional advice on suitable topical products
- Managing inflammation where possible
When to Consider
Pigmentation Treatment
Many individuals explore pigmentation treatment when areas of darkness become more visible, persistent or difficult to manage with home care alone. Some forms of pigment, such as melasma or deeper sun damage, may recur or darken without targeted care.
When pigmentation begins to impact overall skin tone or does not respond to over-the-counter products, a tailored approach can help guide treatment selection. A professional assessment also helps determine whether the pigment is superficial or deeper within the skin, as this influences the most effective treatment pathway.
Treatment Options for
Pigmentation at Prophile Clinics
Pigmentation varies in type and depth, so treatment is selected based on individual skin characteristics. A professional consultation helps determine which method or combination of methods may support improvement in uneven pigmentation or sun-related discolouration.
Laser Treatment
Laser treatment is commonly used for deeper or more established pigmentation. The focused energy targets areas of excess melanin, allowing the skin to gradually clear the treated pigment. This approach may be suitable for sun pigmentation, age spots and certain types of persistent discolouration. A series of sessions may be recommended depending on pigment depth and distribution. Different types of laser can be used depending on the type and depth of the pigmentation:
- IPL laser – More superficial pigmentation
- Pico and Q Switch are used for deeper pigment
- CO2 laser or Pro-cool peel co2 laser can help with superficial sun damaged pigmented skin
Our team will decide what is the best treatment after a thorough consultation.
Dermaceutic Skin Peel Treatment
Chemical peel treatments help exfoliate the skin and support a clearer, more even appearance.
Prophile Clinics offers a selection of Dermaceutic peels, each designed for specific concerns.
- Milk Peel for superficial pigmentation and general brightening
- Mela Peel Forte for hormonally influenced pigmentation such as melasma
- Cosmo Peel 18% TCA for persistent or long standing discolouration
These treatments support the removal of surface pigment and assist with overall skin clarity.
The Dermaceutic skincare range has products that can assist in the treatment of pigmentation. Vitamin C and Niacinamide are vital ingredients for the treatment of discoloration.
Dermapen Microneedling
Dermapen microneedling helps refine the surface of the skin, encouraging natural regeneration. This method is often used for superficial pigmentation and general dullness. Over a series of treatments, microneedling may assist with sun damage, uneven pigmentation and mild post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

Laser treatment can be suitable for many skin types when performed using appropriate settings. A professional assessment helps determine whether laser is an appropriate option for your pigmentation.

The best treatment depends on whether the pigmentation is superficial or deeper within the skin. A tailored plan considers pigment type, location and how the skin responds to professional treatments.
