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.

I attended Cosmedics to have two raised lesions on my arm and chest treated by Ms Grob, I felt exceptionally well taken care of and immediately put at ease. A few weeks later, I am extremely happy with my results! I would also like to extend my deepest gratitude to Mr Thio for his commendable professionalism and kindness in taking the time to see me at very late notice for a review. I would highly recommend Cosmedics.

Dr Perry absolutely does holds back the years without your friends asking what you have had done. I have treatment when I hear I am looking tired and afterwards they say I am looking refreshed which is what I want. An excellent clinic and doctor.

Very quick and professional with choice of locations for treatment. Dr Ross was excellent and I had a mole removed from below my eye as concerned about skin cancer with minimal scarring. Also, has skin tag removed in seconds. Excellent service throughout and treatment was painless - can not recommend CosmedicsUK enough and have already referred friends.

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.
