Our Bristol Este Medical client Martha looks amazing after treating her facial melasma. Her face is rosy and younger looking thanks to targeted Este skincare treatments for skin discolouration.  

Here’s what Martha has to say about her Este Bristol face pigmentation treatment: “My treatment started 3 months ago and at this moment I feel pleased and very comfortable with the treatment and my Este experience. I recommend Este Medical 100% for everyone who has skin pigmentation,” reveals Martha.

How We Transformed Martha’s Skin Tone For The Better 

It all started with an Este skin consultation to determine the type of pigmentation causing the issue. Different types of skin pigmentation include hyperpigmentation (dark spots or patches) and hypopigmentation (lighter areas). 

What is hyperpigmentation? This type of skin pigmentation occurs when there is an overproduction of melanin, leading to darker patches over the skin, which can change your skin tone. This can be caused by sun exposure, hormonal changes (such as pregnancy, perimenopause, and menopause), acne scars, or skin injury.  

During a consultation, our Este skincare experts will assess and identify the best course of action to treat your facial discolouration. This could involve several sessions of cosmelan peels, a combination of Dye VL skin treatments, skin-safe chemical peels, or even LED phototherapy.  

Understanding the underlying cause of your skin darkening or hyperpigmentation is key for creating a bespoke depigmentation treatment plan. 

Este Medical Group offers skin consultations, providing an excellent opportunity to visit one of our medical and cosmetic clinics in the UK and gain a comprehensive understanding of treating facial pigmentation.  

Treating hyperpigmentation is a commitment, often requiring more than one treatment for the most successful and long-term results. 

For Martha, this dedication paid off. After just 3-months, her skin looks fantastic! 

If you’re struggling with skin pigmentation issues, book your UK skin pigmentation consultation now and take the first step toward a brighter, more even skin tone.

What is Melasma? 

Melasma is a common pigmentation skin disorder that causes discolouration due to hormonal shifts, such as those occurring during pregnancy. 

The most common areas for melasma to appear on the face include the nose, cheeks, chin, and forehead, but it can also affect other parts of the body.  

Similar to hyperpigmentation, melasma manifests as darker patches of skin, often on the face. These patches can look like freckle-type spots and may have a brown or occasionally bluish or grey appearance.  

While melasma isn't harmful, it can be unwanted and affect self-confidence, especially during transformative times like pregnancy. It's important to note that melasma isn't limited to pregnant females; fluctuating hormones outside of pregnancy can also cause it to appear.  

Despite its benign nature, melasma can impact one's self-esteem. Fortunately, there are effective hyperpigmentation treatments available to manage and reduce its appearance. 

If you're experiencing melasma, seeking advice from a skincare professional at Este Medical in the UK can help you on your pigmentation journey. Let Este help you with the best skin pigmentation treatment options to achieve brighter, more even-toned skin.

Can You Treat Melasma at Home?  

Treating melasma at home with natural remedies and over-the-counter skincare products is possible, but it may take longer than you expect and may not be effective for all cases of skin pigmentation. As skincare experts, we caution against using home remedies like lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, raw onion and garlic. Despite being natural, these substances can irritate your skin and cause additional skincare issues.  

We also advise against using bleaching agents on your skin, as they can do more harm than good and pose potential health risks. Instead, we recommend proper skin exfoliation and cleansing, along with daily use of SPF 50 sunscreen lotion or cream, which is available for purchase at Este Medical's EP skincare store. Our store offers a full range of skin-safe brightening products designed to help manage melasma and other skin pigmentation issues.  

While home treatments can provide some improvement, achieving significant and lasting results often requires professional intervention. For real, visible results, consider scheduling a skin pigmentation consultation at Este Medical UK. During your consultation, you'll learn about our full range of depigmentation skincare treatments, including safe chemical peels, the highly popular cosmelan pigmentation peel, and the Dye VL Harmony Pro XL laser treatment for skin brightening.

How Many Depigmentation Skin Treatments Will I Need?  

Skin lightening is incredibly popular, with hundreds of products available on the market. However, when it comes to safe skin treatments and long-lasting results, it's important to see a skincare professional.  

When you come in for your Este UK consultation, our skin experts will advise you on the number of treatments you may need for your skin pigmentation to fade or disappear. The number of sessions varies from person to person, as one individual may need only three treatment sessions, another might require six.  

Usually, treatment sessions are spaced two to six weeks apart to allow your skin to heal and respond effectively to the treatments. Everyone’s skin is unique and different, and our holistic and customised approach ensures you receive the best care tailored to your specific needs. At Este Medical Group, we use the latest technology and proven methods to deliver safe and effective depigmentation treatments, providing you with the best possible results.
