Hyperpigmentation forms when the skin produces excess melanin. Sun exposure, acne, hormones and inflammation create dark patches and uneven tone. At Continental Skin Clinic, we treat all types of pigmentation, including sun spots, post-acne marks, dull patches and stubborn dark areas.
Our London skin clinic specialises in hyperpigmentation across all skin tones, including darker skin. We use advanced laser platforms, resurfacing systems, IPL, injectable depigmenting boosters and medical peels. This includes Hollywood Spectra, LaseMD Ultra LADD, CO₂ resurfacing, Blanc B, Cosmelan and tailored peel protocols.
Areas We Treat
- Face
- We treat all facial pigmentation, including sun spots, uneven tone, acne marks and dull patches. Treatments brighten the complexion, smooth texture and restore clear, even skin.
- Under-Eye Pigmentation (Dark Circles)
- We target melanin-based dark circles, post-inflammatory pigmentation and hereditary shadowing. Laser toning, LaseMD Ultra LADD and depigmenting boosters reduce darkness and improve clarity under the eyes.
- Neck and Chest
- Sun damage and mottled pigmentation are common on the neck and chest. Laser and peel treatments brighten dullness, fade superficial pigmentation and improve overall tone.
- Underarms
- We treat shaving-related pigmentation, friction marks and hormonal darkening. Laser toning, LADD infusion and peels safely brighten underarms and create smoother, more even skin.
- Elbows and Knees
- Skin on elbows and knees darkens due to friction and slow turnover. Laser resurfacing, brightening peels and tranexamic treatments help lift pigment and soften texture.
- Arms, Back and Shoulders
- Post-inflammatory pigmentation from acne, ingrown hairs or injury is common on these areas. Laser toning, CO₂ resurfacing and LADD treatments reduce marks and smooth the skin.
- Inner Thighs
- Pigmentation from friction, heat, hormonal changes and inflammation is common on the inner thighs. Our laser and depigmenting protocols brighten the area and reduce visible dark patches.
- Intimate / Bikini Area
- We treat pigmentation caused by friction, hormones and ingrown hairs. Safe protocols for darker skin reduce darkening in intimate areas using gentle laser, LADD and peels.
- Hands
- Sun spots and uneven tone are common on the hands. IPL, laser toning and resurfacing brighten the skin and fade surface pigmentation.
