Learn Our Advanced Approach to Pigmentation Treatment

What Causes Pigmentation?

Pigmentation is caused by an overproduction of melanin in the skin. Triggers can include UV exposure, hormonal changes (e.g. pregnancy or the pill), post-inflammatory responses (e.g. after acne or injury), and genetic predisposition. Conditions we treat include melasma, solar lentigines (sun spots), post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), freckles, and more.

Our dermatologists perform a detailed assessment to determine the underlying cause and recommend the most effective treatment approach.

Types of Pigmentation We Treat

Pigmentation can appear in many forms, from sun-induced freckles to deeper hormonal conditions like melasma. At Dermatology Clinics Australia, we diagnose and treat all types of pigmentation with precision and care.

Melasma

Hormonal pigmentation that presents as symmetrical brown patches, often on the cheeks or forehead.

Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH)

Dark marks left after acne, injury, or inflammation.

Freckles & Brown Spots

Small, flat brown marks typically caused by sun exposure.

Pigmented Birthmarks

Includes congenital spots like café-au-lait and Becker’s naevus.

Our Pigmentation Treatment Options

Pigmentation concerns like sun spots, melasma, and uneven tone require a precise, layered approach. We tailor each treatment plan using a combination of laser technology, prescription skincare, and long-term pigment control to safely restore clarity and balance to your skin.

Picosecond Lasers (eg Enlighten)

Break down excess melanin safely and effectively with minimal risk of post-treatment darkening.

BBL & IPL Photorejuvenation (eg BBL Heroic, M22)

Treats freckles and sun spots using light-based therapy for even skin tone and glow.

Fractional Laser Resurfacing (LaseMD, Fractional Erbium)

Targets deeper pigment and resurfaces uneven texture for smoother, clearer skin.

Topical Prescription Treatments

Dermatologist-formulated pigment inhibitors and brightening agents to support laser outcomes.

Advanced Cosmeceutical Skincare

Support long-term clarity with skincare protocols that target melanin production and protect against UV.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the best treatment for pigmentation?
The best treatment depends on the type, depth, and cause of pigmentation. Our dermatologists often combine laser, topicals, and skincare for long-term results.
Is laser safe for melasma?
Yes, when performed by experienced dermatologists using tailored, low-energy protocols. We use Pico lasers and pigment-safe settings to reduce melasma without rebound pigmentation.
How long until I see results?
Most patients notice an improvement after 2–4 treatments, with continued progress over time. Topical maintenance is key to prolonging results.
Can pigmentation come back?
Pigmentation can recur without proper prevention. We offer long-term skincare guidance and maintenance plans to keep your skin clear.
Are treatments safe for darker skin tones?
Absolutely. We specialise in treating pigmentation in all skin types, including skin of colour, using safe, evidence-based protocols.
Is there any downtime?
Downtime varies depending on the treatment. Some patients may experience temporary redness, flaking or darkening before pigment clears.
