Skin Pigmentation solutions tailored to your skin type

Skin pigmentation refers to the coloring of your skin, which is determined by the amount and type of melanin produced by specialized cells called melanocytes. When these cells become damaged, overactive, or uneven in their melanin production, it can result in various pigmentation disorders that affect the appearance and uniformity of your skin tone.

Skin Pigmentation Treatment & Lesions Removal

Types of Pigmentation Disorders We Treat

Melasma

Often called “pregnancy mask,” melasma appears as brown or gray patches, typically on the face. It’s commonly triggered by hormonal changes, sun exposure, and certain medications.

Age Spots (Solar Lentigines)

Also known as liver spots or sun spots, these are flat, brown spots that develop due to prolonged sun exposure over the years. They typically appear on areas frequently exposed to the sun.

Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH)

Dark spots that develop after skin injury, acne, or inflammation. These spots can range from pink to red, purple, brown, or black, depending on your skin tone.

Freckles

Small, light brown spots that are usually genetic and become more prominent with sun exposure.

Café-au-Lait Spots

Light brown birthmarks that can appear anywhere on the body and are usually present from birth or early childhood.

Drug-Induced Pigmentation

Certain medications can cause skin discoloration as a side effect.

Our Advanced Treatment Options

Laser Treatments

Q-Switch Laser Technology Our state-of-the-art Q-switch lasers deliver precise energy pulses that target melanin deposits without damaging surrounding tissue. This treatment is highly effective for age spots, freckles, and certain types of melasma.

Fractional Laser Resurfacing This treatment creates microscopic treatment zones that stimulate skin renewal and collagen production while targeting pigmented areas.

IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) IPL uses broad-spectrum light to target multiple pigmentation issues simultaneously, making it excellent for overall skin tone improvement.

Chemical Peels

Superficial Peels Light peels using glycolic acid, lactic acid, or salicylic acid to gently exfoliate the top layer of skin and improve mild pigmentation.

Medium-Depth Peels TCA (Trichloroacetic Acid) peels that penetrate deeper to address more stubborn pigmentation issues.

Deep Peels For severe pigmentation cases, deeper peels can provide dramatic results with longer recovery times.

Topical Treatments

Prescription Lightening Agents Customized formulations containing hydroquinone, tretinoin, kojic acid, and other proven ingredients.

Medical-Grade Skincare Professional products with higher concentrations of active ingredients than over-the-counter options.

Microneedling with PRP

Combining microneedling with platelet-rich plasma to stimulate skin renewal and improve pigmentation while enhancing overall skin texture.

Combination Therapy

Often, the best results come from combining multiple treatments tailored to your specific skin type and pigmentation concerns.

What to Expect During Treatment

Initial Consultation

Your journey begins with a comprehensive skin analysis carried out by our experienced dermatologists. During this stage, we will discuss your goals, review your medical history, and assess your skin to design a personalised plan that targets your pigmentation concerns effectively.

During the consultation, we will:

Examine your skin using specialised diagnostic tools
Identify the type and depth of pigmentation
Assess your skin type and medical history
Discuss your goals and expectations

Laser sessions: Usually take 15–30 minutes with minimal discomfort
Chemical peels: Around 30–45 minutes with varying degrees of peeling afterwards
Topical treatments: Daily application at home with regular professional monitoring

Number of Sessions Required

While every skin type responds differently, you can generally expect:

Mild pigmentation: 2–4 sessions
Moderate pigmentation: 4–6 sessions
Severe pigmentation: 6–8 sessions or more
Maintenance: Periodic touch-up sessions

Recovery and Aftercare

Immediate Aftercare
Following treatment, gentle skincare is essential. This includes cleansing with recommended products, applying prescribed healing ointments, and protecting your skin from the sun with SPF 30+ sunscreen. Harsh skincare products should be avoided to prevent irritation.

Questions & Answers

Some common questions we get asked about skin pigmentation treatment

Is the treatment painful?

Most patients describe laser treatments as feeling like a rubber band snapping against the skin. We provide topical numbing cream when needed to ensure your comfort.

How long do results last?

Results can be long-lasting with proper sun protection and skincare. However, new pigmentation can develop with sun exposure or hormonal changes.

Can all skin types be treated?

Yes, but treatment approaches vary based on skin type. Darker skin tones require specialized techniques to avoid complications.

Are there any side effects?

Temporary side effects may include redness, swelling, darkening, or lightening of treated areas. Serious complications are rare when treatments are performed by qualified professionals.

When will I see results?

Initial improvements may be visible within 1-2 weeks, with optimal results typically seen after 2-3 months and completion of the treatment series.

Can I wear makeup after treatment?

Mineral makeup can usually be applied 24-48 hours after most treatments. We’ll provide specific guidelines based on your treatment.

Can pigmentation return?

While treated pigmentation rarely returns in the exact same spots, new pigmentation can develop without proper sun protection and maintenance.

How much does treatment cost?

Costs vary based on the type and extent of treatment needed. We’ll provide a detailed quote during your consultation.

Do you offer payment plans?

Yes, with Linia Skin Clinic you can spread the cost of your treatment over 3 months with interest-free payments.

I visited doctor Zokaie for the baby face procedure and I have to say he is excellent. The service was wonderful. My face was a bit red at first but within a few hours the redness went away. I could already see the results. I am very very happy. The staff was amazing as well.
