One of the most common skin conditions among adults is Hyperpigmentation: areas of dark spots on the skin. Melanin is the substance in the skin responsible for pigmentation, and when in excess, dark deposits can occur on the skin surface in the form of age spots, freckles, and melasma. Heightened melanin production occurs for a variety of reasons; during pregnancy or menopause, hormonal fluctuations can increase melanin production; alternatively, certain medications can attribute to your susceptibility to dark spots. Hyperpigmentation can occur in all skin types, but it is most common in individuals with darker complexions. However, the main cause of hyperpigmentation is sun exposure, which is preventable.

Hyperpigmentation Treatment London Based

1. Prescription Topicals

There are many topical which Dr Hiba can prescribe to reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation.

  • Retinoids like Tretinoin are clinically proven to reduce their appearance by speeding up cell turnover and even interfering with pathways of pigmentation resulting in a more even skin tone.
  • Hydroquinone helps limit the skin from creating excess amounts of melanin, resulting in a lightening effect.
  • Kojic Acid has the ability to penetrate several layers of skin to reduce melanin production.
  • Arbutin is often known as the naturally occurring “sister” to Hydroquinone. Arbutin is a naturally occurring substance found in plants such as cranberries, blueberries, and pears. Arbutin offers a gentler solution to skin lightening and it more suitable for those with sensitive skin.
2. Chemical Peels

For a significant reduction in pigmentation and overall skin renewal, Dr Hiba recommends Chemical Peels. Chemical Peels work by precisely exfoliating the damaged, outer layers of skin to reveal a healthy, even-toned complexion. In removing these damaged layers, chemical peels can greatly reduce the appearance of a variety of skin concerns, including pigmentation. At Dermasurge, we offer the 3-Step ZO Peel, the Dermamelan Peel, and TCA peels.

  • The 3-Step ZO Peel utilises a blend of exfoliants, Retinol, and multi-acting agents to improve skin texture and reduce the appearance of lines, wrinkles, and pigmentation.
  • The Dermamelan Peel is a facial peel specifically designed to reduce stubborn hormonal-based pigmentation such as melasma. The peel is formulated with Kojic Acid, Phytic Acid, Ascorbic Acid, Arbutine, Titanium Dioxide and Retinyl Palmitate which block the production of melanin for long term results.
  • TCA Peels are facial peels which utilise trichloroacetic acid (TCA) to remove damaged skin and stimulate new cell growth. This can strip away darker, sun-damaged patches and stimulate the growth of even-toned skin cells.
3. Laser Skin Resurfacing

Laser Skin Treatments with IPL and Q-Switched Lasers are beneficial for a variety of pigmentation concerns. During the procedure, thermal energy has utilised the remove the damaged outer layers of skin, while stimulating its natural repair functions.
