Hyperpigmentation Treatment

Hyperpigmentation is a harmless condition but it can cause unevenness that is hard to camouflage with make-up. Better known as dark spots, hyperpigmentation may be apparent as melasma – brown patches on adult skin – or as sun spots due to too much exposure to the sun resulting in an excess production of melanin.

Hyperpigmentation Treatments at The Cosmetic Skin Clinic

There is no cure, but there are non-surgical procedures to help the appearance of skin discolouration.

We will advise you on a bespoke treatment plan at your initial consultation, after conducting a thorough skin assessment. The best results for your sun spots, age spots or liver spots can often be achieved using a combination of methods, such as laser skin resurfacing, micro-needling and chemical peels.

Our treatments include several innovative techniques, such as INTRAcel™: a skin-tightening and skin-rejuvenating system combining two minimally invasive techniques: micro-needling and RF skin tightening. This technology continues to improve the quality of your skin long after treatment.

Genuine Dermaroller™ therapy is yet another highly advanced – and multi gold award-winning – procedure using micro-needling procedure to significantly improve the appearance of aged and sun damaged skin.

Interesting fact for prevention: Did you know that the reasons of visible skin ageing (whether the face or the body) is caused by sunlight? Or that UVA rays can pass through glass even in overcast weather? In contrast to UVB you do not get the warning sign of burning with UVA. The most important anti-ageing step you can take is to apply daily, a broad-spectrum sun screen SPF 30-50 in winter and at least 50 in the summer.

How To Get Rid Of Jowls

Losing definition around our jawlines is a common issue as we age. The supportive compounds that keep our faces looking sculpted, like elastin and collagen, start to diminish and we can lose fat in the cheeks and temples, causing our chin and neck to lose its form. Our skin also tends to become drier and thinner, making it less resilient and more vulnerable to the effects of gravity. Sagging skin can therefore develop around the chin and jawline, creating a jowl-like appearance that ages our overall look. Thankfully, The Cosmetic Skin Clinic has a range of treatment options available that work to specifically target sagging skin on the jowls.

Has ‘Zoom Face’ Become The New ‘Gym Face’?

In the not too distant past, Gym face was a much talked about trend in the cosmetic and beauty industry, but with the latest lockdowns and many of us now in the boardroom on Zoom conference calls or at home catching up with friends and relatives via Zoom and other house party Apps, we are witnessing a brand new dilemma; the ‘Zoom Face’ phenomenon. Many of us have had to spend the last few lockdown months attempting to manoeuvre through a rather surreal experience of looking at one’s own face on daily video calls. This reality of seeing yourself in harsh lighting and from new angles has prompted many of us to notice our facial flaws more closely, from laughter lines or wrinkles to complexion issues. While it’s clear that Zoom itself isn't the cause, the overall experience has put our faces right under harsh spotlights for everyone to see.
