Skin Pigmentation

Hammersmith, West London

Uneven skin tone, dark patches, or pigmentation spots can affect your confidence—but with the right care, they don’t have to. At Dermadoc London, we offer advanced, medically-approved treatments to help correct skin pigmentation issues, restore skin tone, and leave you with a brighter, healthier complexion.

Pigmentation is caused by the presence of melanin, the pigment responsible for your skin colour. When melanin production is disrupted—whether due to sun exposure, hormonal changes, inflammation, or injury—it can lead to hyperpigmentation (dark patches) or hypopigmentation (light patches). Our expert team will assess your skin and create a personalised plan to target and treat pigmentation disorders effectively and safely.

Photo pneumatic therapy: This is a type of light therapy that stimulates the rejuvenation of melanin cells so that the new healthy cells can produce healthier-looking skin. It is a faster treatment than laser therapy and the results are instantaneous.

Steroid Creams: If you have hyperpigmentation, you should avoid too much sun exposure and sun beds and use sunscreen. If it was the result of inflammation, temporary use of a topical steroid might help.

Laser Therapy: Laser treatment can remove pigmented lesions and freckles to give your skin a clear look
