What Is Pigmentation And Melasma?
Pigmentation refers to changes in skin colour caused by increased melanin production. It often appears as darker patches, spots, or areas of uneven skin tone and can affect various parts of the body, particularly areas regularly exposed to sunlight.
Melasma is a specific type of pigmentation that commonly appears as larger patches of brown, grey-brown, or darker skin, usually on the face. It often develops gradually and can be more challenging to manage than isolated sunspots or post-inflammatory pigmentation.
Many people seek support because pigmentation concerns can affect confidence and may become more noticeable over time.
Common Symptoms Of Pigmentation And Melasma
Common concerns associated with pigmentation and melasma may include:
- Dark patches on the cheeks, forehead, nose, or upper lip
- Uneven skin tone
- Brown or grey-brown facial discolouration
- Sunspots or age spots
- Areas of darker pigmentation following acne or skin irritation
- Changes in skin appearance that become more noticeable over time
These symptoms can vary significantly between individuals and may develop gradually.
Possible Causes Or Triggers
Pigmentation and melasma can occur for several reasons, including:
- Sun exposure and UV damage
- Hormonal changes, including pregnancy
- Certain medications
- Genetics and family history
- Inflammation following acne or skin injury
- Heat exposure
- Skin irritation
According to the NHS, melasma is often associated with hormonal influences and sun exposure, making prevention and ongoing skin protection important parts of management.

How We Help With Pigmentation And Melasma
At getBEAUTY, we focus on helping clients explore suitable skin rejuvenation treatments that may support the appearance of pigmentation and uneven skin tone.
Every client’s skin is unique. During your consultation, we assess your concerns, discuss your goals, and recommend treatments that may be appropriate based on your skin condition, lifestyle, and expectations.
We do not offer one-size-fits-all solutions. Instead, we develop personalised treatment plans that may involve a combination of approaches depending on how your skin responds.
Results vary between individuals, and multiple sessions are often required when addressing pigmentation concerns.
Methods Or Services We Use To Help With Pigmentation And Melasma
Chemical Peels
Chemical peels work by encouraging controlled exfoliation of the skin’s surface layers. Depending on the type and strength used, they may help improve the appearance of uneven skin tone, pigmentation concerns, and dull-looking skin over time.
Following a consultation, we can advise whether a chemical peel may be suitable for you.
Microneedling
Microneedling is a skin rejuvenation treatment designed to stimulate the skin’s natural repair processes. It may be recommended for certain clients as part of a wider skin improvement programme.
Suitable candidates will be assessed during consultation.
Laser-Based Skin Rejuvenation Consultations
Certain forms of pigmentation may respond to laser-based skin rejuvenation treatments. Suitability depends on factors such as skin type, pigmentation type, medical history, and treatment goals.
Our consultation process helps determine whether laser treatment may be an appropriate option.
Personalised Treatment Planning
For some clients, combining different treatment approaches alongside professional skincare advice may form part of a long-term management strategy.
Your treatment recommendations will always be based on your individual circumstances rather than a standardised protocol.

Disclaimer: Pigmentation and melasma respond differently between individuals. Treatment outcomes vary based on skin type, pigmentation type, lifestyle factors, and treatment adherence. Multiple sessions may be required, and no specific result can be guaranteed.

Certain treatments may not be appropriate for:
- Individuals with specific skin conditions

- Those currently taking medications that affect skin healing
