Pigmentation Treatment in London | Melasma Treatment London
Pigmentation can appear as dark spots, patches, uneven skin tone, sun damage or post-inflammatory marks, and may affect any skin type.
However, not all pigmentation is the same. Melasma, sun spots and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation can have different causes and respond differently to treatment.
At Dr L’Art Clinic London, we take a doctor-led, personalised approach to pigmentation. Before recommending treatment, we assess the type, pattern and likely cause of your pigmentation, as well as your skin type and medical history.
Our pigmentation treatment options include Lumenis M22 IPL, UltraPulse CO2 Laser, Dermamelan, Obagi Blue Peel and prescription Hydroquinone for appropriately selected patients.
Our aim is not simply to “remove dark spots”, but to achieve a clearer, brighter and more even-looking complexion while minimising the risk of unnecessary irritation or rebound pigmentation.

Treatments for Pigmentations
For: Selected pigmentation, sun-damaged skin, uneven texture, signs of photoageing
Lumenis UltraPulse CO2 is an advanced fractional ablative laser treatment that resurfaces the skin by creating controlled microthermal treatment zones. As the skin repairs, the treatment can improve multiple aspects of photoageing, including skin texture, fine lines and selected forms of pigmentation, while stimulating collagen remodelling. UltraPulse CO2 may be particularly relevant when pigmentation occurs alongside rough texture, acne scarring or more significant signs of sun damage. Because CO2 laser creates controlled inflammation within the skin, careful patient selection is essential. It is not automatically appropriate for melasma or all darker skin tones, where the risk of post-inflammatory pigmentation must be considered.
For: Melasma, persistent pigmentation, uneven skin tone, selected PIH
Dermamelan is a professional depigmentation programme designed for the management of melasma and other forms of persistent hyperpigmentation. Rather than relying on a single clinic procedure, Dermamelan combines professional treatment with a structured homecare programme to help manage the processes involved in excess pigmentation. It may be particularly suitable for patients with melasma, recurrent pigmentation or more widespread uneven skin tone where a longer-term pigment-management strategy is required. Consistency with the prescribed homecare programme and daily sun protection are essential parts of treatment.
For: Melasma, hyperpigmentation, selected dark patches, PIH
Hydroquinone is a well-established depigmenting medicine used to reduce excessive melanin production in selected pigmentation conditions. At Dr L’Art Clinic, Hydroquinone is considered as part of a doctor-led prescription treatment plan rather than routine cosmetic skincare. It may be used for selected patients with melasma, post-inflammatory pigmentation or other forms of hyperpigmentation, depending on the diagnosis and individual skin profile. Because Hydroquinone requires appropriate use and monitoring, the strength, duration and treatment schedule should be determined by a qualified prescriber. It is not intended for indefinite unsupervised use.
For: Uneven skin tone, superficial pigmentation, dullness, texture, photoageing
The Obagi Blue Peel is a professional chemical peel designed to create controlled exfoliation and renewal of the skin. Depending on the patient's skin and treatment protocol, it may help improve the appearance of superficial pigmentation, uneven skin tone, dullness and texture. It can be particularly useful for patients looking to address pigmentation alongside broader concerns about skin quality and radiance. As with all professional peels, the appropriate depth and treatment approach should be selected according to your skin type and pigmentation history.
For: Sun spots, age spots, freckles, photodamage, selected superficial pigmentation
Rejuran® is a polynucleotide treatment designed to support the skin's natural repair and regeneration processes. While it is not a traditional pigmentation-removal treatment, healthier, better-functioning skin can be an important part of managing pigmentation and improving overall skin quality. It may be recommended as part of a combination approach where skin regeneration, hydration and resilience are also treatment goals.
