Hyperpigmentation

Hyperpigmentation refers to areas of the skin that appear darker than the surrounding tissue due to increased melanin production. It can present as freckles, sunspots, melasma, or post-inflammatory marks following acne or injury. While often harmless, it can significantly impact confidence and skin tone uniformity. 


At Haus of Ästhetik, we approach pigmentation scientifically, targeting both the pigment and the biological triggers beneath it, restoring clarity and radiance through medical-grade, evidence-based solutions.

Overview

Hyperpigmentation refers to areas of the skin that appear darker than the surrounding tissue due to increased melanin production. It can present as freckles, sunspots, melasma, or post-inflammatory marks following acne or injury. While often harmless, it can significantly impact confidence and skin tone uniformity. 


At Haus of Ästhetik, we approach pigmentation scientifically, targeting both the pigment and the biological triggers beneath it, restoring clarity and radiance through medical-grade, evidence-based solutions.

  • Hyperpigmentation affects all genders and skin types, though prevalence is higher in Fitzpatrick skin types III–VI. 


    It commonly appears in adults aged 25–60 and is often worsened by unprotected sun exposure or incorrect cosmetic use.

    • Flat, discoloured patches varying from light brown to dark grey

    • Symmetrical or patchy distribution on the cheeks, forehead, or upper lip (melasma)

    • Dark marks following acne or injury (PIH)

    • Freckles or solar lentigines in sun-exposed areas

    • Uneven skin tone or mottled complexion

  • There is no NICE guideline exclusively for cosmetic hyperpigmentation or melasma in the context of aesthetic practice. The BNF lists medications (e.g., azelaic acid) that can be used, but does not provide pigmentation-specific practice guidance.

  • 1. mesoestetic Depigmentation Systems

    • Cosmelan® and Dermamelan®: globally recognised clinical depigmentation protocols, combining in-clinic treatment with at-home maintenance to regulate melanin activity at the cellular level.

    • Active ingredients: azelaic acid, kojic acid, phytic acid, arbutin, and niacinamide inhibit tyrosinase — the enzyme responsible for pigment formation.

    • Benefits: visible reduction in dark patches, even tone, and improved luminosity.

    • Suited for: melasma, PIH, and sun damage.

    2. mesopeel Melanostop and Modified Jessner Peels

    • Chemical resurfacing treatments designed to exfoliate damaged layers, accelerate cellular renewal, and suppress melanocyte overstimulation.

    • Produce smoother, clearer skin with progressive brightness improvements.

    3. Teoxane RHA Serum and Advanced Filler Skincare

    • Rebuilds the skin barrier post-peel while maintaining hydration and resilience.

    • RHA (Resilient Hyaluronic Acid) combined with antioxidants supports recovery and protects against oxidative stress that perpetuates pigment formation.

    4. LED Light Therapy (Yellow and Near-Infrared)

    • Modulates inflammatory pathways and enhances healing post-peel or depigmentation treatments.

    • Encourages even skin tone and collagen renewal.

    5. Maintenance Homecare

    • mesoestetic Melan Recovery and Melan Tran3x concentrate and gel cream provide ongoing pigment regulation and barrier repair.

    • Daily SPF 50+ (Melan 130+ Pigment Control) prevents recurrence of pigmentation and supports long-term stability.

  • Suitability is established through a detailed clinical skin assessment including Fitzpatrick classification, hormonal history, and sensitivity testing. Treatments are suitable for most adults but require caution in pregnancy, breastfeeding, or active dermatitis. 


    All protocols adhere to CQC Regulation 12: Safe Care and Treatment, with full consent, medical oversight, and post-procedure guidance.

    • Short term (2–6 weeks): visible lightening of pigment, smoother texture, and brighter tone.

    • Long term (8–12 weeks): ongoing improvement as melanocyte activity stabilises.

    • Maintenance: results are sustained through consistent sun protection and maintenance homecare.Patients typically notice a refreshed, uniform complexion and a significant reduction in uneven pigmentation.

    • Avoid sun exposure and heat for at least one week post-treatment.

    • Use prescribed post-procedure creams (such as Melan Recovery or Fast Skin Repair).

    • Apply SPF 50+ daily and reapply every 2–3 hours if outdoors.

    • Avoid exfoliants, retinoids, and acids for 5–7 days unless advised.

    • Maintain hydration and follow prescribed skincare for long-term prevention.

  • Book a clinical pigmentation consultation at Haus of Ästhetik for a full skin analysis. We will determine the type, depth, and cause of your pigmentation before recommending a structured treatment plan that may include Cosmelan, chemical resurfacing, or LED support. 


    All procedures are carried out under medical supervision, with products sourced through regulated UK suppliers in line with MHRA and BNF standards. You’ll receive written aftercare, realistic expectations, and a strategy for long-term pigment control and skin health.
