INDIVIDUALISED HYPERPIGMENTATION TREATMENTS
Treatment of hyperpigmentation conditions requires detailed diagnosis, individualised treatment according to your skin type followed by a multidisciplinary approach to ensure a successful and sustainable end point.
Guided by the experienced doctors at our Perth clinic, our hyperpigmentation treatments often require a combination of the following:
- Oral medications that reduce melanin production and hence modify skin tone
- Topical creams including topical depigmenting agents and topical steroids cream
- Natural hyperpigmentation treatment including vitamins, antioxidants and tyrosinase inhibitors
- Laser Therapy, which is now the preferred method due to efficiency and precision, and especially when combining with above options.
Using a high-powered picosecond laser system from CUTERA, we can address pigmentation, scarring, and facial rejuvenation simultaneously, promoting an even skin tone and texture while reducing fine lines and pore size.

Skin pigmentation conditions
With age, the skin becomes thinner, loses elasticity and its radiance. The skin surface becomes inefficient in clearing dead cells, leading to skin roughness, enlarge pores and changes in skin texture. With that, pigmentation, uneven skin tone and colour begins to appear.
Melasma, is a common skin condition, especially in women with darker skin types. It is characterised by its patchy light to dark brown pigmentation, usually on the face and other sun exposed area. Melasma is often trigged by hormonal fluctuation, made worse by sun damage and genetic predisposition.
Melasma involves both dermal and epidermal layers of the skin, making it difficult to treat. Our clinic specialises in effective melasma treatment, using advanced laser technology to target and reduce these persistent pigmentation issues. Our melasma treatments are designed to gently break down excess melanin, promoting a more balanced and even skin tone.
Hori’s Naevus, is also called Naevus of Ota, is characterized by numerous blue-grey or light brown speckled macules, often mistaken as freckles. There is a strong genetic predisposition to this pigmentation condition and made worse with aging and sun exposure. It usually appears around the eyes, on the cheeks or either side of the face.
Hori naevus and cafe au lait spots are types of pigmentation that can appear as blue-gray or light brown marks on the skin. These spots may affect one’s appearance and self-confidence.
At Skin & Medical Northbridge, we offer laser treatments tailored to address these specific pigmentation concerns. Our advanced laser technology targets and diminishes these spots, promoting a more even and clear complexion.
Age spots and sun spots are often known collectively as lentigines or seborrheic keratosis/warts, appearing as singular flat or raised brown and dark patches on the face, neck, hands and arms, upper back and shoulder. They appeared due to aging, starting from mid-30’s and worsened by sun damage or sun exposure.
balanced and even skin tone.
Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) is a pigmentation condition that occurs when excessive melanin is produced after trauma to skin occurred from injury, burns, acne or certain skin treatments. PIH can occur in all skin types but tends to be more severe and longer lasting for anyone with darker skin types.
Everyone can do their part to prevent or reduce skin pigmentation. Even after successful treatment with laser treatment, pigmentation condition and lesions can return, due to further aging, sun damage and hormonal changes. It is most important to:
- Reduce sun exposure and sun damage, by using sunscreen and other means of avoidance and protections
- Adopting a good skincare routine and habit
- Reducing exogenous hormones and alcohol consumptions
Frequently Asked Questions
WHAT IS SKIN PIGMENTATION?
Melanin is created by the skin cell melanocyte, which is responsible for the colour of your skin, eyes and hair. When skin produces an excessive amount of melanin or loses the ability to spread pigment evenly over the skin, hyperpigmentation and pigmented conditions occur.
Skin pigmentation conditions are very common and are usually related to sun damage, ageing, genetic or hereditary conditions, hormonal changes and post-inflammation.
