In lighter skin tones, pigmentation treatment can draw on a range of options, but success still depends on matching the approach to the type of pigmentation and protecting the result.
Here is how treatment is approached at Regener8.
Match the treatment to the cause
Sun spots, diffuse sun damage, melasma and post-inflammatory marks respond to different approaches. The first step is always to identify what you are dealing with, because the wrong treatment can be ineffective or, with melasma, counterproductive.
Options that may be considered
Depending on assessment, options may include chemical peels to support cell turnover and a more even tone, and microneedling. Lighter skin generally tolerates a wider range of intensities than richer skin, though melasma remains an exception that calls for caution.
Protecting the result
Pigmentation is strongly influenced by sunlight, so daily broad-spectrum SPF is essential both during and after treatment. Without it, pigmentation commonly returns and treatment progress is lost.
A personalised plan
Treatment and homecare are combined and planned around your assessment within the Pigment Correction Programme. There is no single fixed pathway.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can pigmentation be removed in one session?
Rarely. Most pigmentation responds to a course of treatment combined with homecare and sun protection, with the plan confirmed at consultation.
Is melasma treated differently?
Yes. Melasma is influenced by hormones and light and can flare with overly aggressive treatment, so it is approached more cautiously than sun spots.
