Pigment & Sun Damage

Broad areas of sun induced pigment and discolouration.

Years of sun can quietly leave their mark, brown spots, patches and uneven tone across the face, hands and chest that can make your skin look older and more tired than you feel. Living somewhere this sunny, it's something almost all of us accumulate over time. The good news is that pigment and sun damage respond well to treatment, revealing clearer, more even skin.

What is pigment and sun damage?

Pigment and sun damage covers the brown spots, patches and uneven, mottled tone that build up over time, from individual sun spots and age spots on the face, hands and décolletage to more diffuse discolouration spread across larger areas. It’s harmless, but can make the skin look older, tired and less even.

What causes pigment and sun damage?

It’s caused by a build-up of pigment from years of UV exposure, which is why it tends to appear from our thirties onward and on the areas most exposed to the sun. Living in a high-UV climate means this damage accumulates steadily over a lifetime, and hormones and natural ageing can add to it.
