Hyperpigmentation Treatment Manchester

Skin pigmentation is caused by an excess production of melanin, the pigment responsible for skin colour. Factors like sun exposure, medical conditions, hormonal changes, and genetics can trigger hyperpigmentation or melasma, leading to dark spots and patchy, uneven skin tone.

Acne & Pigmentation: Other Available Este Treatments

To help you achieve your skincare and beauty goals, Este Medical Group offers several effective, skin-safe treatments to enhance your skin colour.

Acne and acne scarring can cause skin discolouration, also known as post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH). This type of pigmentation can show up in areas where your skin has had acne (e.g., face, neck, back, shoulders). It can cause dark pigment spots to appear where you have had pimples and/or skin inflammation or irritation (e.g., psoriasis, eczema…). Additionally, darker skin tends to experience PIH at higher rates; PIH can affect all skin tones, but it is more prevalent for people with darker skin.

If you have acne related hyperpigmentation an Este treatment may be the right choice for you to improve the appearance of your skin tone. You can contact Este through our website for a skin pigmentation Manchester consultation, which will help you determine the treatment best suited to your skin.

FAQ's

How many treatments will I need?

When you come in for your consultation we will be able to advise you as to the number of treatments we predict you may need for your skin pigmentation to fade or disappear. Everyone’s skin is different, and the number of sessions required can vary. While one person may see results after a one session, others may need multiple treatments. The type of treatment chosen will also influence how many sessions are needed. Typically, sessions are spaced between two to six weeks apart, depending on your individual treatment plan.

What results can I expect?

We have seen fantastic results for skin pigmentation treatment. Results depend on your own specific area of skin pigmentation, and can take a matter of months to be fully appreciated. The best results will be seen after a course of a few treatments, but you will notice a gradual fading of the pigmentation as your treatments progress. This may result in the area becoming completely unnoticeable, or significantly lighter and closer to your normal skin tone.

How long will treatments take?

Treatment time depends on the size of the lesion being treated. In general, if we are treating just one patch then treatment time usually takes around 30 minutes, a few areas takes about 45 minutes, and a full face session lasts around an hour. We will be able to advise you as to how long we expect your own treatment to take when you come in for your consultation.

Are there any side effects?

After your sessions for your skin pigmentation, you may experience a certain amount of redness and/or swelling to the treated area. This should fade over the course of the next 48 hours. You may also notice that the area of skin pigmentation actually appears darker five to seven days post treatment. It should then flake away. There is no down time involved with this treatment and you can get back to your normal everyday routines straightaway.

Is it painful?

Treatment for skin pigmentation is a quick and safe procedure, and requires no anaesthetic or skin-numbing agents. If you do experience any discomfort it will be mild. There is no need to be anxious about this treatment, but if you are, please talk through your worries with our skilled staff at your consultation and we will be able to ease any fears.
