AESTHETIC SKIN TREATMENTS

Skin Pigmentation Issues

Brighten uneven skin tone and sun damage safely

Pigmentation problems like age spots, sun damage, melasma, and uneven skin tone can leave your skin looking dull and patchy. At MAK Clinic Knutsford, we treat skin pigmentation issues using advanced IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) technology to safely break down excess melanin and restore a clearer, more even complexion.

Led by Nurse Prescriber Practitioners, our pigmentation treatments are medically guided, minimally invasive, and tailored to your skin type and goals.

How We Treat Skin Pigmentation Issues at MAK Clinic

IPL technology and personalised skin lightening plans

Our approach to treating skin pigmentation issues is precise and evidence-based. We use medical-grade IPL lasers to target the pigmented areas with carefully calibrated light energy, which fragments the pigment and allows your body to gradually eliminate it through natural processes.

Your treatment journey:

  1. Skin consultation & analysis: Including digital diagnostics to assess pigment depth.

  2. Patch test & preparation: Ensures safety and identifies optimal settings for your skin.

  3. IPL treatment: Delivered in short sessions using our award-winning Alma laser system.

  4. Aftercare & protection: SPF and skincare recommendations to maintain results.

Why clients choose IPL for pigmentation:

  • Proven, non-invasive treatment

  • Suitable for face, neck, chest, hands

  • Improves tone, texture, and radiance

  • Medical-grade results in a safe clinic setting

We may also recommend complementary treatments like skin peels, microneedling, or prescription skincare, depending on your skin type and goals.

  • They can be caused by sun exposure, hormonal changes, inflammation, ageing, or genetics. We perform a full skin analysis to identify the root cause.

  • The light targets excess melanin in the skin, breaking it into smaller particles that are then naturally eliminated by your body.

  • We assess suitability based on skin tone, pigmentation type, and recent sun exposure. A patch test is always carried out beforehand.

  • A typical course is 3–6 sessions spaced 3–4 weeks apart. You’ll start seeing improvement after the first few treatments.

  • Ongoing skincare and sun protection are key to maintaining results. Some pigmentation may return if triggered by sun or hormones.

  • Mild redness or darkening of pigmented spots can occur, but most clients return to normal activities the same day.

  • Common treatment areas include the face, neck, chest, shoulders, and hands—anywhere affected by uneven pigmentation.
