Addressing Australia’s #1 Skin Concern: Your Guide to Pigmentation Treatments
In Australia, with our high UV index and love of the outdoors, one skin concern is consistently at the top of people's search lists: pigmentation. Whether it’s sun spots, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), or stubborn melasma, achieving a clear, even complexion is a primary goal for many of our clients.
At The Beauty Dose, we combine medical-grade procedures with professional dermal therapy to offer targeted, effective hyperpigmentation solutions. Your journey to brighter, clearer skin starts with a skin consultation.
Our Advanced Pigmentation Correction Treatments
Our clinic offers a range of scientifically proven treatments that can be customised to your specific type of pigmentation and skin tone, ensuring a safer and more effective result.
1. Clinical Chemical Peels for Brightening
Chemical peels are a cornerstone of effective pigmentation treatment. By using professional-grade acids, we can gently exfoliate the outermost layers of the skin where excess melanin (the cause of dark spots) resides.
Targeted Formula: We use specific peels containing melanin inhibiting ingredients to specifically interrupt excess melanin production and dramatically improve uneven skin tone.
Customised Depth: Our practitioners tailor the depth and type of peel to minimise risk and maximise results for different skin types and conditions, including those prone to PIH.
2. SkinPen Micro-Needling: The Safe Approach
When addressing stubborn or deeper pigmentation, particularly acne-related scarring (PIH), micro-needling with a device like SkinPen is an invaluable tool. It stimulates the skin's natural healing process in a controlled way.
Collagen Remodelling: By creating microscopic channels, the treatment encourages the replacement of pigmented cells with new, un-pigmented tissue.
Enhanced Product Delivery: It also creates pathways for our clinical-grade brightening serums to penetrate deeper, increasing their efficacy.
3. LED Light Therapy
LED Light Therapy is an excellent companion treatment. While not a primary solution for severe pigmentation, specific wavelengths of LED light can help to:
Reduce Inflammation: Calming inflammation is crucial, as chronic inflammation can cause and worsen pigmentation (PIH and melasma).
Support Skin Repair: Accelerating cellular repair post-peel or micro-needling, helping the skin recover faster and reveal a more even tone.
A Note on Anti-Ageing & Preventative Care
It’s important to remember that wrinkles, lines, and volume loss (our other highly searched concerns) are also often directly related to the same factors that cause pigmentation. Addressing sun damage is the ultimate form of preventative skincare. During your consultation, we can also discuss professional options for managing lines and volume.
