Pigmentation Removal Perth

Age spots, freckles and stubborn sun damage can leave your complexion looking older or duller than it feels.

At The Skin Studio in Perth, we specialise in treating all types of pigmentation — restoring clarity and confidence to your skin, tailored to your unique skin type.

Hyperpigmentation treatments and sun damaged skin treatment require a personalised plan to fade dark spots and create a clear and even complexion.

Hyper-pigmentation is a common skin condition where certain areas of the skin become darker than the surrounding tissue. It occurs when your skin produces too much melanin, the pigment that gives skin its colour.

While completely harmless, pigmentation can be frustrating and difficult to treat without professional help. It often appears on the face, neck, chest, and hands — the areas most exposed to UV light.

At The Skin Studio, we take a science-based approach to remove freckles, age spots and hyperpigmentation, addressing both the surface appearance and the deeper causes that lead to dark spots and uneven skin pigmentation.

Pigmentation can be triggered by a range of internal and external factors. Understanding what causes it, is the first step toward effective, lasting treatment.

The most common causes include:

• Sun Exposure: UV rays stimulate excess melanin production, resulting in sun spots and freckles.

• Hormonal Changes: Pregnancy, menopause, or hormonal medications can trigger melasma — a symmetrical form of pigmentation that often appears on the cheeks, forehead, and upper lip.

• Medications: Some medications trigger cells to over produce pigment.

• Post-Inflammatory Pigmentation (PIH): Dark marks that remain after acne, injury, or inflammation.

• Ageing: As we age, the skin’s ability to regulate pigment becomes uneven, causing age or liver spots.

• Genetic Pre-disposition: Genetic factors are important to consider.

We have medical-grade peels that fade pigmentation, remove damaged cells and stimulate skin renewal.

They work to fade existing pigmentation, reduce further damage, and reveal brighter skin beneath.

Not all pigmentation is the same. Our experienced practitioners are trained to identify the type you have and create a plan that targets it effectively.

1. Sun Spots, Age Spots, Liver Spots (Solar Lentigines): Flat, dark brown spots caused by years of UV exposure. These are common on the face, neck, hands, and décolletage in people over 40.

2. Freckles (Ephelides): These are the common, genetically-determined, flat, light to medium brown spots, that often appear in childhood. 

3. Hormonal Pigmentation (Melasma): Hormone-related pigmentation that appears in symmetrical patches, often on the cheeks, forehead, or upper lip. It can be stubborn and requires a gentle, consistent approach. Find information unique to Melasma HERE.

4. Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH): Dark or red marks left behind after acne or skin trauma. With the right treatments, these spots fade significantly over time.

5. Poikiloderma of Civatte: A mottled red-dish brown pigmentation developed on the side of the neck and chest from UV exposure, hormonal changes and fragrances.

At your initial appointment, your practitioner will;

• Discuss your concerns and analyze your pigmentation, using our advanced skin diagnostic machine.
• Provide treatment options, taking into consideration your suitability for treatment, lifestyle, budget and appropriate downtime.
• Clearly explain the cost, number of treatments recommended, frequency, realistic results and after-care procedures.
• Design a treatment plan that is unique to you, to achieve the desired results.
