Additional information
What is the Pigmentation Facial?
Our Pigmentation Facial combines several techniques to target areas of hyperpigmentation: medical microneedling, dermaplanning and a gentle micropeel. The facial is designed to improve general skin tone and texture, whilst reoptimising melanocyte cell function to improve all types of hyperpigmentaiton, including melasma, sun damage and postinflammatory hyperpigmentation.
How does the Pigmentation Facial work?
The facial begins with a deep cleanse, followed by our signature micropeel, comprised of acids such as Lactic, Mandelic and Azelaic acids, and dermaplanning. Numbing cream is then applied to the skin, preparing the skin for by microneedling with a mesotherapy cocktail with a high level of antioxidant tyrosinase inhibitors, such as vitamin C and glutathione, which directly act on melanocytes to reduce pigment production, and hyaluronic acid to deeply hydrate the skin. Microneedling is used to create dermal micro-injuries, which stimulate a controlled response in the skin to encourage growth factor release to promote melanocyte cell repair. It also stimulates production of new collagen and elastin in the deeper layers of the dermis layer of skin.
What are the benefits?
The Pigmentation Facial actively addresses hyperpigmentation conditions leaving skin with a visibly more even and brighter tone. Skin texture will also improve and hydration will be boosted by this treatment. Microneedling has been shown in many clinical studies to be safe and effective in treating melasma and pigmentation in darker skin types, where lasers and IPL may not be suitable.
What areas can be treated?
The Pigmentation Facial is designed specifically for the face and neck though we offer Microneedling as a stand alone treatment which can be performed on any area where there is pigmentation.
This treatment is especially well suited to darker skin types which cannot be treated with Lumecca™ IPL or other laser treatments.
Can it be used with other treatments?
The Pigmentation Facial can be used in conjunction with Bright Eyes which also aims to address pigmentation concerns, specifically around the eyes.
What is the downtime?
Some redness immediately after is to be expected but this usually goes down with 24 hours.
Where is this treatment available?
This is offered in London, in our Harley Street, Belgravia, City and Liberty clinics, and our Edinburgh clinic

FAQS
Can the Pigmentation Facial be done in darker skin types?
Yes - this treatment is specifically designed to be suitable for those with darker skin types (Fitzpatrick V + VI), for whom lasers and IPL treatments may not be suitable.
Does the Pigmentation Facial help with melasma?
Yes - this treatment is designed specifically to treat stubborn pigmentation issues such as melasma that may not be suitable for treatment with other techniques such as lasers and IPL.
Can I use my normal skincare products following the Pigmentation Facial?
Yes - you can continue using your normal skincare products (including any prescription products) before and after the Pigmentation Facial.
Can the Pigmentation Facial be done during pregnancy?
Yes - the techniques used in the Pigmentation Facial are all suitable to be performed during pregnancy. We would suggest (as with any treatment) that these are done after the first trimester (3 months) for optimal results.
Can I wear makeup after the Pigmentation Facial?
We suggest avoiding makeup for the first 24 hours after the Pigmentation facial to avoid bacterial seeding into the skin through the small channels created by microneedling. Post-treatment makeups, such as Oxygenetix, are however suitable to be used immediately after this treatment.
