Pigmentation
About Pigmentation
This is a very general term to describe skin that appears lighter or darker than normal. Darker brown spots are very often referred to a 'hyper pigmentation'. The change in skin colour is due to an increase in melanin within the skin which can be caused by injury, inflammation, sun damage or hormonal changes e.g. pregnancy.
Treatments for Pigmentation
Absolute Aesthetics undertakes a wide range of treatment options for many different conditions. Our clinicians will advise on the treatment[s] that are most suited to you.
Genuine Dermaroller™
Genuine Dermaroller™ therapy provides advanced micro-medical skin needling. It is a procedure that stimulates the skin to regenerate and repair itself naturally and safely creating smoother, brighter, healthier and younger looking skin.
IPL
IPL means Intense Pulse Light. It is a non-laser form of light treatment that involves a very powerful light being emitted by a rapid pulse of flashes. These pulses are absorbed by the target structure in the skin - whether it is thread veins, unwanted hair or some other blemish - heating it and destroying it permanently.
Obagi Skincare
The Obagi Blue Peel is based on a weak acid (Trichloroacetic acid- TCA) is applied to the face to burn the outer layers of the skin in a controlled method, thus causing damage and letting the skin regenerate with a younger, tighter, healthier feel. There is some downtime with this treatment while the skin recovers- this is variable between 3-14 days depending on the depth of the peel.
