Let's Talk 'Pigmentation'

With autumn now upon us and winter fast approaching, it is a great time to start preparing the skin for more advanced treatments such as IPL (intense pulsed light) therapy.  Hyperpigmentation is best treated during the cooler and darker months at this time of the year enabling us to achieve the best results with fewer risks from our more advanced skin treatments.

We often find that as we get older dark spots and patches appear on the skin that weren’t there a few years ago. Hyperpigmentation can really affect our confidence and how we feel about our skin and it is one of the most prevalent skin concerns that we see here in the Koru Clinic.  However we can treat and prevent the causes of hyperpigmentation.

Melanin is formed within the top layer of the skin and can get larger the deeper it goes, so what we see on the surface of the skin is quite often tip of the iceberg. 

Treating pigmentation (melanin) can be tricky and involves an ongoing process of well prescribed skincare to prevent it from coming back.

Using a pigment blocker, a topical Vitamin A along with an SpF 50+ sunscreen every day, all year around will help to slow down the formation of new pigment.

Treatments such as IPL, chemical peels and dermal needling at Koru Clinic will help to soften and remove existing pigment.
