Skin Pigmentation Treatment Chester, Cheshire
If you are suffering from uneven skin tones, our skin pigmentation treatment in Chester is exactly what you need. Your complexion helps define you, but we understand how dark spots, freckles and redness can knock your confidence.
Pigmentation is a common skin condition, recognised as dark, sun and age spots. This causes uneven brown patches that occur on the face, hands, decolletage and shoulders. There are several causes of pigmentation, however, most uneven spots are caused by sun exposure, in particular, harmful UVA rays. Sunspots can take approximately 10 to 20 years to develop and can cause the skin to age considerably.
Alongside sun exposure, melasma is caused by hormonal changes caused by pregnancy, menopause, fatigue and weight gain. Whereas, hyperpigmentation is often caused by certain medications. When blemishes or other skin conditions heal, they typically leave a discoloured mark behind, which causes post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. To reduce uneven patches, benefit from our skin pigmentation treatment in Chester.
Pigmentation Treatment, Chester
Pigmentation affects people in different ways, and everyone is bound to suffer from uneven skin tones at some point. In fact, there are multiple types, including Addison’s disease, albinism, hyperpigmentation, melasma and vitiligo. While they are not curable, our pigmentation treatment in Chester can reduce their appearance.
Each of our treatments are bespoke to your skin concerns, offering minimal discomfort time and up to 24 hours downtime. We recommend a course of laser treatments using Lumecca or Excel V+, alongside a good homecare regime with ZO Skin Health products. Our treatments usually take between 20 and 40 minutes.
Our pigmentation treatments in Chester gradually fade uneven tones over several weeks. As the treatment breaks down the excess melanin, your body dissolves it, starting the fading process. Once the course is completed, you can look forward to long-lasting results.
SKINCARE
Hyperpigmentation is when an area of the skin darkens due to the overproduction of the skin pigment, melanin. This can manifest itself as freckles, sunspots, age spots, dark circles under the eyes, and melisma.
Although hyperpigmentation is a common and harmless condition, it can cause annoyance or psychological distress to some people with the condition. There are, however, ways to treat and prevent the symptoms and causes of hyperpigmentation.
We offer a collection of skincare products, which have been expertly developed in order to help treat hyperpigmentation, severe texture damage, sun damage, and general skin health restoration.
All of our ZO Skin Health hyperpigmentation products contain powerful ingredients that have been clinically proven to optimise results, including sodium hyaluronate, jojoba ester, photosomes, oxysomes, retinol, and ultra-fine magnesium crystals.

The two types of pigmentation are UV and hyperpigmentation, often caused by Addison’s disease, albinism, melasma and vitiligo.
Is skin pigmentation reversible?
While some dark areas may fade over time with products that provide adequate sun protection, most don’t disappear. In this case, you may require a more aggressive treatment. Skin pigmentation is incurable, but it typically is not harmful.
