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:
Skin consultation & analysis: Including digital diagnostics to assess pigment depth.
Patch test & preparation: Ensures safety and identifies optimal settings for your skin.
IPL treatment: Delivered in short sessions using our award-winning Alma laser system.
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.
