Pigmentation & Skin Disorders

Pigmentation disorders, where the skin develops patches that are darker (hyperpigmentation) or lighter (hypopigmentation) than the surrounding skin, are an extremely common concern.

About Pigmentation & Skin Disorders

Pigmentation disorders, where the skin develops patches that are darker (hyperpigmentation) or lighter (hypopigmentation) than the surrounding skin, are an extremely common concern. Conditions like melasma, sun spots, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (from acne or injury), and pityriasis alba can affect one’s appearance and self-esteem. At Sparderm, we specialise in diagnosing the exact type of pigmentation, as this is crucial for effective treatment. For instance, treating melasma, which is often driven by hormones and sun exposure, requires a very different strategy than treating a simple sun spot.
Our approach is methodical and combines medical-grade topicals with advanced in-clinic procedures for optimal, lasting results.

Our tailored treatment plans for pigmentation include:

Comprehensive Diagnosis

We first determine if the pigmentation is epidermal (superficial), dermal (deeper), or mixed, as this dictates the treatment depth and choice of modality.

Medical-Grade Topical Therapy

We prescribe and guide you on using potent prescription-strength creams containing ingredients like hydroquinone, tretinoin, kojic acid, azelaic acid, and corticosteroids in carefully monitored combinations to lighten dark spots safely and effectively.

 

Advanced In-Clinic Procedures
  • Chemical Peels: Using specific acid combinations to exfoliate the pigmented layers of the skin.
  • Laser Toning & Q-Switched Lasers: These devices target melanin pigment with high-energy light, breaking it down without damaging the surrounding skin. This is highly effective for sun spots and freckles.
  • Microneedling with Depigmenting Serums: To enhance the penetration of active ingredients for more stubborn, dermal pigmentation like melasma.
The Cornerstone of Treatment
Sun Protection: We cannot overstate the importance of sun protection. We will provide you with detailed advice on using broad-spectrum sunscreen with high SPF and physical barriers to prevent the worsening of any pigmentation and to maintain your results.
With a customised blend of home-care and in-clinic treatments, we help you achieve a more even, radiant, and uniform skin tone, empowering you to feel confident in your skin.
