Understanding Pigmentation and Melasma
Dark spots and uneven skin tone can have different causes. Knowing what is behind them is the first step towards choosing a suitable routine or treatment.
Not all pigmentation is the same
Sun exposure, inflammation and hormonal influences can each contribute to visible pigmentation. Melasma often requires ongoing management rather than a one-off solution.
Pigmentation that is new, changing or unusual should be assessed by a qualified medical professional before attempting cosmetic treatments.
Why the approach matters
Some skin tones are more prone to post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, particularly after irritation or aggressive procedures. A careful assessment of sensitivity, medical history and skin response is important before peels or needling.
At Skin Atelier Australia, consultation and patch testing where appropriate help guide whether an in-clinic treatment is suitable.
Daily habits that support your skin
Daily broad-spectrum sunscreen, shade and a gentle routine can help reduce triggers that deepen visible pigmentation. Avoid harsh scrubs and introducing multiple strong active products at once.
Progress is individual and cannot be guaranteed; some forms of pigmentation can recur.
