PIGMENTATION TREATMENTS in Maidenhead

Pigmentation isn't one condition, and treating it effectively starts with understanding what is causing it. At Stockley Clinic in Maidenhead, we assess concerns including sun damage, age spots, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) and uneven skin tone before recommending an appropriate treatment plan.
Depending on your skin and the type of pigmentation, your plan may include Candela laser treatment, AlumierMD chemical peels, microneedling and a tailored home skincare routine.

Understanding Pigmentation

Pigmentation occurs when the skin produces or distributes excess melanin. This can happen for different reasons, including sun exposure, inflammation, acne, hormonal changes and skin injury. Because different types of pigmentation behave differently, there isn't one treatment that is right for everyone.

The first step is identifying the type of pigmentation and assessing your skin before deciding whether laser, chemical peels, microneedling, skincare, or a combination approach is appropriate.

Identify the Pigmentation Inhibition

We assess the appearance, history and likely cause of your pigmentation before recommending treatment.

Treat the Skin Appropriately Cellular Turnover

Your treatment plan may include laser, chemical peels, microneedling or targeted skincare depending on your pigmentation and skin type.

Protect Against Recurrence Suppression

Daily SPF and an appropriate home skincare routine are important because UV exposure and inflammation can contribute to pigmentation returning or becoming darker.

Why the right diagnosis matters

Not every dark mark should be treated in the same way. Some pigmentation responds well to treatment, while other types require a cautious approach or may not be suitable for certain procedures. That's why we assess your skin before beginning a pigmentation treatment plan
