Pigmentation
Skin tone and complexion is always an area that patients ask about how to improve.
In most cases simple good skincare regimes with enriched vitamin C and a good sunblock can suffice.
More problematic pigmentation that can be due to issues such as:
- sun damage
- melasma
- choelasma
These can prove far more difficult to treat.
Sun damage in fairer skin types responds well to vitamin A and Hydroquinone creams as well as skin peels and certain laser treatments.
Melasma and choelasma which are these patchy areas of pigmentation typically in darker skin types that occur on the forehead and upper lip areas can often run in families, be as a result of the oral contraceptive pill, and pregnancy. These conditions are not worrying but can be a great nuisance to a lot of people.
Treatments and expectations have to discussed with doctors to attain the best results as in some cases treatment could make the pigmentation worse.

Excellent service from start to finish. Dr Rhys Stevens and the nurse both made me feel at ease. Quick and painless procedure, should have had it done sooner.

I was seen by Dr Brit Vardy for my mole removal. She was very good in explaining to me everything about the treatment. I am extremely satisfied with the service I received.

I had a lot of choices for mole removal, but the customer service I received on the phone steered me to this clinic. My mole was removed on the day of my consultation by Dr Britt Vardy. She was very professional and answered all my questions and concerns. Very pleased, and looking forward to the result once it has healed!

Hi my face skin is so much darker and damaged than my body this happened after taking contraception and the damage is unreversbel except my top layer skin peeled off that is what the Dr told me in the referral. Do you do skin peeling? How much it cost me? I really want to do it am stressed.
We do offer skin peels, but also our latest laser pigmentation treatment at our Putney Beauty Salon offers very good results. Please call 0208 246 4861 to discuss the options further.
