Pigmentation can appear in many forms, including sun spots, melasma, post-inflammatory pigmentation and uneven skin tone. While some pigmentation sits on the surface, other forms are deeper and more difficult to treat without a proper correction plan.
Unlike standard brightening treatments, Cosmelan treatment focuses on regulating excess pigment production while supporting long-term skin clarity.
Pigmentation Treatment in Perth
What Causes Pigmentation?
Pigmentation develops when the skin produces excess melanin. This can be triggered by a range of internal and external factors, including:
Sun exposure and UV damage
Hormonal changes
Inflammation within the skin
Acne or skin trauma
Heat exposure
Ageing
Genetics
Different forms of pigmentation require different treatment approaches, which is why a professional assessment is important before starting treatment.
Why Pigmentation Can
Be Difficult to Treat
Many pigmentation concerns return because only the surface of the skin is being treated. While some products and peels may temporarily brighten the skin, they often do not address the underlying pigment pathways responsible for ongoing discolouration.
-
Pigmentation may improve temporarily before becoming visible again when triggers are still active within the skin.
-
Some areas may respond differently to treatment, creating patchiness or inconsistent fading.
-
Excessive exfoliation can weaken the skin barrier and increase irritation or inflammation.
-
UV and heat can reactivate pigment production, especially in clients prone to melasma or recurring pigmentation.
