The Ultimate Guide to Pigmentation Treatments: From Skincare to Laser

The Ultimate Guide to Pigmentation Treatments: From Skincare to Laser

As the seasons change and the days grow shorter, there’s no better time to tackle pigmentation and restore your skin’s natural clarity. At The Medispa in Telford and Shrewsbury, we meet clients every day who feel frustrated by dark patches, uneven tone, and stubborn marks that just won’t fade.
These concerns aren’t just about appearance — they often affect confidence too.

The good news? Pigmentation can be treated safely and effectively with a combination of medical-grade skincare and advanced aesthetic treatments designed to deliver long-lasting, healthy results.


 

Why Autumn and Winter Are the Best Seasons to Treat Pigmentation

Cooler months are the perfect time to begin your pigmentation journey. With less UV exposure, your skin is better protected and more responsive to treatments such as laser pigmentation removal, chemical peels, and microneedling. Starting your plan now means your skin will be brighter, smoother, and more even in time for spring.


 

Understanding Pigmentation

Pigmentation happens when excess melanin builds up in the skin, creating areas of uneven colour. Common types include:

  • Melasma: Hormone-related pigmentation appearing on the cheeks, forehead, or upper lip.

  • Sun Spots (Age Spots): Caused by long-term sun exposure without sufficient SPF protection.

  • Post-Inflammatory Pigmentation: Dark marks left behind after acne or skin trauma.

Each requires a different approach — and at The Medispa Telford and The Medispa Shrewsbury, every journey begins with a detailed skin consultation and scan to identify your pigmentation type, depth, and triggers.


 

Pigmentation Treatments at The Medispa

1. Laser Pigmentation Removal — Laser Genesis & LaseMD

Our medical-grade laser treatments safely and effectively target pigmentation at its source.

  • Laser Genesis gently heats the dermis to stimulate collagen and diffuse redness, softening pigmentation and enhancing glow.

  • LaseMD is an advanced fractional laser that resurfaces the skin, breaking down pigment clusters and improving tone, texture, and luminosity.

Both treatments offer visible improvement with minimal downtime, ideal for sun damage, age spots, and uneven tone.

 


 

2. Chemical Peels — SkinCeuticals Pigmentation Peel

The SkinCeuticals Pigmentation Peel combines glycolic, lactic, and citric acids to lift discolouration, stimulate renewal, and restore brightness. Each peel is tailored to your skin for maximum effect without irritation — delivering smoother, more even skin after just a few sessions.


 

3. Microneedling for Pigmentation — Secret PRO

Our Secret PRO microneedling treatment combines radiofrequency and fractional technology to remodel skin at multiple levels. It creates controlled micro-channels that trigger collagen production and accelerate skin renewal, improving texture, tone, and pigmentation.

Secret PRO is especially effective for post-acne marks, melasma, and sun-induced pigmentation. For enhanced results, it can be paired with brightening serums or LaseMD for deep pigment correction.


 

4. Medical-Grade Skincare for Pigmentation

We prescribe skincare from world-leading brands like SkinCeuticals and ZO Skin Health, proven to fade pigmentation and protect against new damage.

Key products include:

  • SkinCeuticals Discoloration Defence Serum – a daily-use corrective serum targeting dark patches and uneven tone.

  • SkinCeuticals Phloretin CF – an antioxidant powerhouse that brightens and defends against environmental damage.

  • ZO Brightalive – a non-retinol brightening formula that restores luminosity and balances uneven skin tone.

Used alongside your in-clinic treatments, these products maintain and enhance your results long-term.


 

5. LED Light Therapy

After more intensive procedures such as lasers or microneedling, LED Light Therapy helps soothe inflammation, accelerate healing, and promote an even post-treatment glow.

  • Maintain your skin with Hydrafacial or light peels every 4–6 weeks.
