Whether age or genetics-related, issues connected to skin pigmentation are another common complaint we’re well-versed in dealing with. Part of our wider Pigmentation Reduction Services treatment menu, this highly customisable facial option supports a wide variety of conditions and concerns, from managing problem patches of melasma and correcting sunspots to banishing dark under-eye circles.

The foundation of every TLC Pigmentation SOS facial (performed in varying sequences, depending on your skin condition and goals) is a deep cleanse plus a pigmentation-specific chemical peel tailored to your skin type and condition. We then offer the extra exfoliation of dermaplaning (as an optional extra) and either lymphatic drainage or a mask.
Next, depending on your skin, we’ll use 2-3 key components from the five-pronged Préime DermaFacial toolkit: the AquaB ‘hydrofacial’, which cleanses, exfoliates and refreshes the skin with an infusion of nourishing active ingredients; the moisture replenishing excellence of UltraB, where high-frequency ultrasound is used to activate the skin’s ability to absorb products more effectively (meaning that all that serum goodness actually makes it into your skin, rather than just lying on top of it); and, potentially, the MicroT, which uses micro-current technology to tone and tighten.
You’ll also enjoy a healing dose of LED light therapy (we use the Korean hospital grade system, Lem Light), potentially amplified by Lumixa, a unique photodynamic serum-gel, which reduces inflammation and stimulates collagen production to enhance skin regeneration.
You have a choice of four options to complete this treatment.
The lightest touch laser therapy ClearSilk is a supercharged skin-booster we use to address fine lines, wrinkles, redness, light scarring and pigmentation issues while offering superb levels of revitalisation.
Using the hyper-targeting excellence of the handheld FDA-approved SkinPen® Precision device, we’ll inject a mesotherapy cocktail (a bespoke blend of vitamins, enzymes, antioxidants and acids, including a specialist product for pigmentation) directly into the problem area.
This is an ideal treatment for anyone for whom lasers aren’t a viable option for treating pigmentation, such as those with dark skin, where light therapies can trigger inflammation resulting in dark spots or patches.
Exosomes (the tiny growth-factor-containing sacks generated by animal or plant cells capable of supercharging skin regeneration and hair growth) can also be administered via microneedling in order to ensure they penetrate deeply. Ours come from renowned Korean manufacturer ExCoBio and they are often collectively dubbed as minor miracle workers that can help improve uneven texture and tone while enlivening lacklustre skin, and have direct effects on patches of pigmentation.
Here we use a tailored combination of the Sciton JOULE® lasers that don’t require downtime or numbing to heal patchy skin. These include the pigment-blasting BBL® HALO®, the light touch skin-booster ClearSilk, and the zone-targeting, vascular condition-relieving ClearV,® (melasma will often have a vascular component), all of which support remedying pigmentation imbalances.
