Hyperpigmentation Treatment London

An Este skin pigmentation consultation will best determine how many depigmentation treatments you may require for optimal results. On average it takes about 4 treatment sessions. Depigmentation sessions usually occur 2 to 6 weeks apart, depending on which type of treatment you have. The best way to determine if you are a good candidate for this type of skincare treatment is to book an Este consultation through our website.

Take a look at our gallery of before-and-after depigmentation photos on this web page to get a better idea of what to expect. The best long-term results will be seen after a series of treatments (e.g., on average 4 treatment sessions). You will experience more and more pigmentation removal as your treatments progress. This may result in the treated area becoming completely depigmented, or significantly lighter and closer to your overall skin tone. Contact Este to arrange a consultation to talk about your expectations and a treatment timeline.

This will depend on the depigmentation treatment you undergo. Much depends on the size of the area being treated. For example, treating one patch of skin may take about 30 minutes, and treating more than one area may take about 45 minutes. Typically a full face session lasts around an hour. We will be better able to answer this question after you have an Este skincare consultation.

Post-treatment the treated area of skin may experience some redness or swelling, but on average this diminishes after about 48 hours. In some cases, the treated area may appear darker for 5 to 7 days after a treatment, this is nothing to become alarmed about, it is a normal and temporary reaction for some people. You can expect to get back to your regular schedule immediately after treatment. 

Treatments for skin pigmentation are considered skin-safe and pain-free. At Este Medical Group our clients’ comfort is paramount. We do offer local and general anaesthesia (depending on the procedure) before treatment to ensure you will feel as comfortable as possible. This treatment is not considered painful.
