What Is The Pigmentation Peel?
The Pigmentation Peel is your go-to solution for fading stubborn dark spots and restoring a radiant, even complexion. Expertly formulated to tackle all types of hyperpigmentation—including melasma, sun spots, and post-acne marks—it gently exfoliates pigmented skin cells and slows excess melanin production. Powered by brightening actives and advanced exfoliants, this treatment delivers visible results with minimal downtime—leaving your skin clearer, smoother, and glowing with confidence.
Post-Inflammatory Pigmentation
Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) is darkening of the skin after inflammation or injury, like acne or cuts. The Pigmentation Peel effectively reduces PIH, restoring a smoother, even complexion.
Sun Damage
Sun damage can lead to dark spots on the skin, often called age spots or liver spots. These appear after years of UV exposure. The Pigmentation Peel effectively reduces these sun-induced spots, restoring a brighter, even skin tone.
Melasma
Melasma is a skin condition causing dark, patchy pigmentation, often on the face. Triggered by hormones, sun exposure, and genetics, it can be effectively treated with the Pigmentation Peel for a clearer, even skin tone.
Hormonal Changes
Hormonal changes from contraception, childbirth, and menopause can trigger dark skin patches, especially melasma. The Pigmentation Peel effectively reduces these hormone-induced pigmentation spots, helping to restore a clearer, even complexion.
Genetics
Genetics can lead to pigmentation issues like freckles and dark spots, making some people more prone to uneven skin tone. The Pigmentation Peel effectively reduces genetic pigmentation, restoring a smoother, more even complexion.
Acne
Acne can leave dark spots and uneven skin tone, known as post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. The Pigmentation Peel effectively reduces these acne-related spots, helping to achieve a clearer, more even complexion.
How Does The Pigmentation Peel Work?
This powerhouse formula tackles pigmentation at its source. Combining potent depigmenting and exfoliating agents, it works on two levels—slowing melanin production to prevent future discolouration, while gently shedding damaged, pigmented skin cells to fade existing dark spots. As fresh skin emerges and cell turnover accelerates, you’ll notice a visibly brighter, clearer, and beautifully even-toned complexion.
Trichloroacetic Acid
Trichloroacetic Acid (TCA) deeply exfoliates the skin to remove damaged outer layers, stimulating cell turnover and collagen production. It helps reduce the appearance of fine lines, sun damage, uneven texture, and pigmentation, revealing smoother, clearer, and more rejuvenated skin.
Salicylic Acid
Salicylic acid helps to gently exfoliate the skin’s surface, improve texture and clarity, and enhance the absorption of other brightening ingredients. It also reduces post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation caused by breakouts, leaving the skin looking smoother and more even.
Tranexamic Acid
Tranexamic acid is a potent skin-brightening agent that works by targeting melanin production at the source. It helps to inhibit melanin production, calm inflammation, and reduce redness. Over time, it evens out skin tone and helps prevent pigmentation from returning when used consistently.
Is The Pigmentation Peel Safe In Skin Of Colour?
Yes, the Pigmentation Peel is formulated with advanced ingredients designed to treat a range of skin types and concerns.
Suitable For All Skin Types
The Pigmentation Peel is formulated to treat pigmentation concerns on all skin tones without causing lightening or discolouration of the skin.
Minimal Risk
When applied by a trained professional, the peel has a low risk of irritation or adverse effects, making it a safe solution for achieving an even skin tone in skin of colour.
Targets Melanin Production
The Pigmentation Peel works by reducing excess melanin, which is especially beneficial for individuals prone to pigmentation issues.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How should I prepare my skin before having these peels?
Proper preparation is key to getting the best results from your pigmentation peel and ensuring your skin responds safely and effectively.
In most cases, your practitioner will recommend a pre-peel skincare routine for 2 to 4 weeks before treatment. These products can help to strengthen your skin barrier, even out skin tone, reduce sensitivity, and minimise the risk of irritation during or after the peel.
Avoid harsh treatments like waxing, lasers, or exfoliating acids in the days leading up to your appointment.
Daily SPF is essential to protect your skin and prevent further pigmentation before the peel.
Your practitioner will give you a personalised prep plan to ensure your skin is in the best possible condition.
How often can I have the Pigmentation Peel?
The frequency of the Pigmentation Peel depends on your skin’s needs and the severity of the pigmentation. We advise having the peels no sooner than 6 weeks apart, but your practitioner will advise on the best schedule for your individual skin goals.
How many sessions are needed to see results?
You may notice improvements such as a brighter tone or smoother texture after just one session of the Pigmentation Peel. However, the number of sessions needed can vary based on your individual skin concerns, goals, and how your skin responds to treatment.
For more persistent pigmentation, a course of 3 to 6 treatments, spaced several weeks apart, may be recommended for optimal, long-lasting results. Your practitioner will create a customised treatment plan based on your skin type and the severity of the concerns being addressed.
Maintenance treatments a few times a year can also help prolong results and keep your complexion clear, smooth, and radiant over time. Regular use of prescribed home care products will further enhance and sustain your results between sessions.
What is the expected downtime after the Pigmentation Peel?
After a pigmentation peel, some downtime is expected as your skin goes through the renewal process. Most people experience redness, dryness, and peeling for several days following treatment—this is completely normal and part of the skin’s natural exfoliation.
Downtime is usually mild to moderate, and peeling may last 3 to 10 days, with some flaking around targeted areas of pigmentation depending on your skin’s response.
During this time, it’s important to follow aftercare advice carefully, avoid sun exposure, and let the skin shed naturally.
What aftercare do I need to follow after having the Pigmentation Peel?
Post-peel care is a crucial part of the treatment process and plays a significant role in ensuring your skin heals properly and achieves the best possible results. To support the healing process and protect your results, you should:
Avoid Sun Exposure – Your skin will be more sensitive—use a broad-spectrum SPF 50 daily, even indoors, and avoid direct sunlight whenever possible.
Use Recommended Products Only – Stick to the post-peel skincare advised by your practitioner. These products are designed to soothe, hydrate, and protect your skin while it heals.
Skip Active Ingredients – Avoid retinoids, acids, and exfoliants until your skin has fully recovered to prevent irritation or damage.
Don’t Pick or Peel – Let your skin shed naturally. Picking can lead to scarring or uneven pigmentation.
Keep Skin Hydrated – Drink plenty of water and apply gentle moisturisers regularly to maintain hydration and comfort.
Following these steps ensures a smoother recovery and helps reveal a brighter, clearer, and more even complexion.
How do I know which peel is right for me?
The Pigmentation Peel can be a great option if you’re looking to improve concerns such as dark spots, uneven skin tone, melasma, sun damage, or post-acne marks. However, everyone’s skin is different, so the best way to know if a peel is right for you is to have a professional skin consultation.
During the consultation, your practitioner will assess your skin type, tone, medical history, and specific concerns, then recommend a treatment plan tailored to your goals. They’ll also determine the ideal peel strength and frequency to safely deliver the best possible results for your skin.
