PIGMENTATION TREATMENT
Reduce pigmentation and restore an even, radiant complexion
If your skin tone looks uneven or patchy, and you find yourself relying on concealer to feel confident, pigmentation can quietly knock your confidence. Many people notice it becomes more obvious in summer, after pregnancy, or during times of hormonal change, and it can feel hard to know what will help without making it worse.
Pigmentation concerns are among the most common reasons people seek advice about their skin. Whether it’s sun spots, melasma or uneven tone, these changes can make the skin appear dull or uneven. For many people, it’s not only about appearance but about feeling confident and comfortable in their own skin again.
At Beyoo Medical Aesthetics in Lancaster, we take a thoughtful, nurse-led approach to treating pigmentation safely. By identifying the type and depth of pigment and using clinically proven treatments and medical-grade skincare, we help restore clarity and brightness while protecting your skin’s long-term health.
Book your skin consultation in Lancaster and we will assess your pigmentation properly and create a personalised plan for clearer, more even skin.
Why patients seek help
Pigmentation often develops gradually and can be difficult to manage with shop-bought products alone. Many of our patients tell us they want to feel confident without relying on heavy makeup or concealer.
Common reasons people seek treatment include:
- Sun or age spots caused by UV exposure
- Melasma or hormonal pigmentation
- Uneven tone after pregnancy or inflammation
- General dullness or loss of brightness
Pigmentation can appear at any age, but the right medical-grade approach can make a lasting difference.

What causes pigmentation
Pigmentation occurs when the skin produces excess melanin, the natural pigment responsible for skin colour. This imbalance can be triggered by:
- Sun exposure which stimulates melanin production
- Hormonal changes including pregnancy, menopause or certain contraceptives
- Post-inflammatory pigmentation after acne or injury
- Ageing which slows down cell renewal and allows pigment to build up
Each type of pigmentation behaves differently, which is why your journey always begins with a detailed skin analysis using our Observ 520X system.
Treatment options at Beyoo
At Beyoo, we offer a range of treatments to safely target and reduce pigmentation. Each plan is tailored to your skin type, depth of pigmentation and lifestyle.
Laser Pigmentation Removal
Performed by our experienced skin and laser specialist, this treatment uses light energy to break down pigment within the skin so it can naturally fade over time. It’s suitable for sun damage, age spots and general uneven tone. Most patients see gradual improvement over a course of sessions. Some redness and mild flaking are normal for a few days after treatment.
Chemical Peels (Mesoestetic, Obagi and AlumierMD)
Medical-grade peels resurface the top layers of skin to lift pigment and reveal a brighter, more even complexion. They can also improve texture and support collagen renewal. Downtime varies depending on the depth of peel, ranging from mild flaking for a few days to light shedding for up to a week.
Cosmelan® Depigmentation System
For more stubborn or hormonally driven pigmentation, Cosmelan® helps regulate melanin production and reset the skin’s natural balance. The treatment involves an in-clinic mask followed by a home-care programme. Moderate peeling, redness and dryness are expected for several days but the results are significant and long-lasting when aftercare is followed correctly.
Obagi Nu-Derm® and Obagi-C Rx® Skincare Systems
These medical-grade home protocols help to fade pigmentation at a cellular level. They gradually renew the skin, improve clarity and restore an even tone. Obagi systems are ideal for patients who prefer a consistent at-home approach or wish to maintain results between treatments.
Many patients combine in-clinic procedures with medical skincare to maximise and maintain their results.
Book your consultation and we will recommend the safest and most effective combination for your skin, with a plan that fits your lifestyle and downtime.
What to expect
- Consultation and Skin Analysis: Your journey begins with a detailed consultation and digital skin assessment using the Observ 520X. This allows us to see beneath the surface of your skin and identify the type and depth of pigmentation.
- Personalised Treatment Plan: We’ll design a treatment plan that may include laser, chemical peels or medical skincare. Your plan will be tailored to your goals, tolerance for downtime and long-term skin health.
- Aftercare and Protection: We’ll guide you through aftercare, including how to protect your results with daily SPF and pigment-controlling skincare. Ongoing protection and consistency are key to maintaining an even tone.
Recovery & results
Downtime varies depending on the treatment. Laser and mild peels may cause redness for a day or two, while Cosmelan and deeper peels can involve peeling and dryness for up to a week.
You’ll begin to see results gradually as the skin renews itself. Pigmentation fades, tone becomes more even and the complexion looks clearer and brighter. For best results, most patients complete a short course of treatments supported by medical skincare.
Because pigmentation can reappear with sun exposure or hormonal changes, we’ll support you with long-term prevention advice and review your progress regularly.
Safety & reassurance
All consultations and medical treatments are overseen by our nurse prescriber, while our skin and laser specialist performs laser and resurfacing treatments.
We operate under the guidance of a medical doctor and use only clinically validated devices and skincare systems. Patient safety and comfort always come first.
If you want expert, nurse-led guidance and a safe plan for pigmentation, book your consultation in Lancaster today.
