Halufa was over her uneven skin tone and the dark spots on her face, so she turned to Este Medical for a glow-up. With discolouration across her cheeks in the form of dark marks and shadowing around her eyes and mouth, she was ready for a skin brightening journey. Thanks to expert skin pigmentation treatments and consistent care at Este UK, Halufa’s complexion is now visibly brighter, clearer, and full of life — a beautiful reflection of her confidence shining through.
Glow-Ups are a Game Changer for Darker Skin Pigmentation
There’s nothing quite like the confidence boost that comes with a radiant, even complexion. For many women, a professional skincare glow-up is the best way to achieve brighter skin. This is especially true for women with darker skin tones, who often face unique skincare challenges, particularly when it comes to hyperpigmentation and sun damage.
One common misconception is that melanin-rich skin doesn’t need sun protection. In fact, darker skin is highly susceptible to the effects of UV exposure. While melanin does provide some natural protection against the sun, it’s not enough to prevent long-term damage. Repeated sun exposure can lead to discolouration, a patchy skin tone, and stubborn dark spots — often signs of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation that tend to linger longer in darker complexions.
When uneven colour appears on medium to deep skin tones, the contrast can make spots or patchy areas more noticeable. Add in hormonal changes, acne scarring, or even friction from everyday activities, and the skin can start to look dull, blotchy, and uneven.
That’s why targeted pigmentation treatments at a reputable cosmetic clinic are essential. Women love the transformation that comes from professional care: brighter, lighter, smoother skin that reflects how they feel on the inside.
Whether it’s through cosmelan pigmentation peel, pixel laser resurfacing, or deep cleaning EP Facial treatments, there are several effective skin brightening options for melanin-rich skin.
At Este Medical, we understand how to treat darker skin tones with the most advanced skincare treatments and client care, helping every woman glow with confidence.

Men Can Have A Glow-Up Too!
While these glow-up stories highlight female clients, it’s important to know that men can also benefit from cosmelan peel treatments at Este Medical. Hyperpigmentation, UV damage, and uneven skin tone affect all skin types and genders. Our skincare experts are experienced in treating male clients with personalised pigmentation plans that deliver visible, confidence-boosting results. Whether you're dealing with dark spots, acne scarring, or general skin dullness, Este offers effective solutions customised to men’s unique skincare needs.
When Skin Discolouration Turns Out to Be Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation
If you’ve noticed dark patches lingering after breakouts or skin inflammation, you might be dealing with post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH). For many women — especially those with darker skin tones — PIH can appear as stubborn dark spots or darker patches.
At Este Medical, we understand how frustrating PIH can be. That’s why we offer advanced pigmentation treatments like the cosmelan peel, which is formulated with proven skin-brightening ingredients including azelaic acid and kojic acid — both known for their ability to calm inflammation, reduce melanin production, and gently resurface uneven skin tone.
Azelaic acid works to soothe inflamed skin and boost cell turnover, helping fade acne-related pigmentation and calm redness. Kojic acid targets excess melanin and helps fade dark spots while naturally exfoliating the skin.
Together, these skin-safe, active ingredients make cosmelan skin peel treatments a powerful solution for treating PIH caused by acne, sun exposure, or skin irritation. It’s effective for all skin tones, including darker complexions where discolouration can sometimes be more noticeable.
If you're struggling with persistent and unwanted face pigmentation, book a free Este UK consultation to find out if cosmelan chemical peel is right for you. Let us help you bring back your glow — one treatment at a time.
