We share our expert advice on treating pigmentation, helping you achieve a clearer, more even skin tone.
Every autumn, enquiries about pigmentation rise noticeably in clinic. It’s no coincidence. Months of stronger UV, holidays abroad and long, hot days leave many people with new sunspots, patchy discolouration or melasma that has darkened since spring. Even careful sun cream users are affected, because most of us apply far less than the amount used […]
People come to skin resurfacing for all sorts of reasons. For some it’s the sunspots and uneven tone that seem to multiply after every summer. For others it’s melasma that no amount of concealer quite hides, acne scars that have lingered since their teens, or fine lines and a rough, tired texture that makes make-up […]

As a specialist skin clinic, we recommend that Autumn/Winter is the best time of the year if you want to treat pigmentation successfully.
