At Injex Clinics, we offer medical-grade treatment options for pigmentation concerns, including hyperpigmentation caused by sun damage, hormones and inflammation. Our expert team tailors every plan to suit your skin tone, lifestyle, and goals.
Pigmentation refers to areas of the skin that become darker than the surrounding tissue due to an excess production of melanin. This can result in patches, spots or blotches on the face, neck, chest, or hands. Pigmentation is one of the most common skin concerns we treat at Injex Clinics.
Types of pigmentation include
Pigmentation can affect all skin types and tones. While it is usually harmless, many people seek treatment to improve the uniformity and brightness of their skin.
Pigmentation is best treated with a layered approach that combines resurfacing, pigment suppression, and ongoing prevention. At Injex Clinics, we offer a range of professional treatments and cosmeceutical skincare tailored to your skin type and the cause of your pigmentation.

Available in-clinic and online
Pigmentation is primarily caused by an overstimulation of melanocytes, the cells responsible for producing melanin. Key triggers include
Sun exposure
UV radiation is the most common cause of pigmentation, leading to solar lentigines and freckles over time
Hormonal changes
Melasma is a form of pigmentation triggered by hormone fluctuations such as pregnancy, contraceptive use or hormone replacement therapy
Skin trauma or inflammation
Conditions like acne, eczema or injury can lead to post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation as the skin heals
Genetics
Some individuals are more prone to pigment changes based on their skin type and family history
Ageing
As we age, pigment irregularities become more visible due to slower cell turnover and cumulative sun damage
While in-clinic treatments provide dramatic and targeted results, a consistent at-home routine is essential to maintain glow, improve texture, and prevent dullness from returning. At Injex Clinics, we offer a curated selection of professional-grade skincare and devices you can use at home.
✅ Speak with a Skin Therapist for recommendations on best products to use.
✅ Use SPF daily – UV exposure is a major contributor to pigmentation (we recommend AiryDay, available instore).
✅ Stay hydrated and eat a skin-supportive diet rich in antioxidants.
✅ Get 7–9 hours of sleep per night, skin regenerates while you rest.
✅ Use a silk pillowcase to reduce friction and preserve moisture.
✅ Avoid harsh scrubs or foaming cleansers that strip the skin barrier.

This depends on the type and depth of pigmentation. Most clients require between three and six treatments spaced three to four weeks apart for best results.
Some brightening may be noticeable within a week, particularly after chemical peels or carbon facials. Deeper pigmentation, such as melasma or PIH, may take six to twelve weeks to visibly fade
Yes. Without proper sun protection and maintenance, pigmentation can reappear. We recommend daily SPF, pigment-suppressing skincare, and occasional maintenance treatments to preserve your results
Not always. Some superficial pigment can be removed entirely, while deeper or hormonally driven pigmentation may be managed over time. Our goal is to fade visible pigment and prevent further development
The most effective treatment depends on the cause and depth of your pigmentation. CO2 laser and Secret RF are ideal for deeper pigment, while peels and IPL are effective for surface-level discolouration. A consultation will determine the right approach for your skin
Minimal downtime for peels, microdermabrasion and IPL. Moderate downtime of three to seven days is expected after CO2 laser or the Elaine Brennan Peel. Your clinician will provide personalised aftercare instructions
We avoid intensive resurfacing or laser treatments during pregnancy. However, we offer safe options like LED facials, gentle enzyme peels and pigment-safe skincare to maintain skin clarity
Makeup can usually be worn after 24 hours, depending on the treatment. Deeper resurfacing treatments require a makeup-free period until the skin has healed. Always follow your clinician’s aftercare advice
