What Causes Pigmentation?
Pigmentation appears when excess melanin creates darker patches, freckles or uneven tone. It can be linked to sun exposure, inflammation, hormones, skin injury or genetic tendency.
At The Heath Clinic, pigmentation is treated medically rather than cosmetically. Your clinician will assess your skin type, pigment pattern, triggers and history before recommending a plan.
For suitable patients, Sciton BBL can target superficial pigment while medical-grade skincare supports long-term tone, barrier health and prevention.

What Patients Say
Trusted care, clear explanations and tailored skin plans are why patients choose The Heath Clinic for pigmentation and tone concerns.
Who Is Pigmentation Treatment For?
This page is for patients who want to improve uneven colour, visible dark spots and patchy tone without a one-size-fits-all approach.
It is especially useful for:
- Sun spots and freckles
- Uneven skin tone
- Post-inflammatory pigmentation
- Age spots
- Dullness caused by patchy colour
The safest plan depends on pigment depth, skin tone, recent sun exposure and whether melasma may be present.
CHECK SUITABILITY ›Our Approach to Pigmentation
BBL uses carefully selected wavelengths to target excess melanin in superficial pigment. Treated pigment can temporarily darken before gradually fading.
Medical-grade skincare is often used alongside treatment to reduce recurrence risk and support healthier pigment behaviour.
Daily SPF is non-negotiable. Your plan will include preparation, aftercare and realistic guidance on what can safely improve.

What to Expect from Treatment
Every treatment begins with a consultation to assess your pigmentation pattern, skin tone and suitability for light-based treatment.
During BBL, most patients feel quick bursts of warmth. Pigmented areas may darken for a few days before fading as the skin clears.
A course is usually recommended, with maintenance and sun protection helping keep the skin clearer over time.

Frequently Asked Questions
What causes pigmentation?
Pigmentation can be caused by sun exposure, inflammation, hormonal influences, skin trauma and genetic tendency. A consultation helps identify the likely drivers.
Can BBL treat pigmentation?
BBL can be effective for suitable superficial pigmentation, freckles and sun spots. It is not appropriate for every pigment pattern, so assessment matters.
Will pigmentation come back?
Pigmentation can recur, especially with sun exposure or ongoing triggers. Daily SPF and maintenance skincare are important.
How many sessions will I need?
Most patients need a course rather than one treatment. The exact number depends on pigment depth, skin type and response.
Is there downtime?
Downtime is usually minimal. Treated pigment can darken temporarily before flaking or fading over several days.
Is melasma treated the same way?
Melasma needs a more cautious plan because heat and light can sometimes worsen it. Your clinician will advise the safest approach.
