Pigmentation Treatment

Targeted pigmentation treatments including Picosecond Laser, Broadband Light (BBL), and medical protocols for melasma, sunspots, freckles, and uneven skin tone.

Pigmentation disorders are a common concern in Singapore's tropical climate, where high UV exposure accelerates the development of sunspots, melasma, freckles, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH). The Aesthetic Studio has a dedicated Melasma Signature Treatment programme and uses multiple laser platforms for comprehensive pigmentation management. Melasma is one of the most challenging pigmentation conditions to treat because it involves both epidermal and dermal pigment and is prone to recurrence with UV exposure. The clinic's melasma protocol combines Picosecond Laser (which shatters deeply embedded melanin with ultra-short pulses and minimal heat), Broadband Light for superficial pigment, and prescription topical agents for maintenance. Low-fluence, multi-pass protocols are used to avoid paradoxical darkening (post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation) that can occur when melasma is over-treated. For solar lentigines (sunspots), freckles, and age spots, Picosecond Laser and BBL Broadband Light are highly effective as standalone treatments, typically clearing lesions in one to three sessions. BBL uses intense pulsed light filtered to specific wavelengths that are selectively absorbed by melanin, delivering a brightening and evening effect across the full face with minimal downtime. Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) from acne, trauma, or previous aesthetic procedures responds well to Picosecond Laser, low-energy Fractional CO2 passes, and medical-grade brightening topicals containing ingredients such as kojic acid, tranexamic acid, and niacinamide. The clinic provides comprehensive sun protection guidance as part of all pigmentation treatment protocols.
