Pigmentation includes uneven skin tone, dark patches, and sun spots. It can develop for many reasons, including sun exposure, hormonal changes, ageing, and acne scarring. At LuminUS we offer advanced pigmentation treatments designed to safely reduce excess pigmentation and restore a clearer, more even complexion. Using a combination of Cosmelan® depigmentation therapy and targeted laser treatments, we can tailor the approach to suit different skin types and pigmentation concerns.

What causes pigmentation?

Pigmentation occurs when the skin produces excess melanin, the natural pigment that gives skin its colour. This can lead to conditions such as:

• Sun spots and age spots

• Melasma

• Post-acne pigmentation

• Uneven or patchy skin tone

A professional consultation helps identify the type of pigmentation and the most suitable treatment.

What is Cosmelan®?

Cosmelan® is a professional depigmentation treatment designed to reduce and control pigmentation at its source. The treatment works by regulating melanin production, helping to fade existing dark patches while preventing new pigmentation from forming.

It is widely used for treating melasma, sun damage, and stubborn pigmentation, and can significantly improve overall skin clarity and brightness when combined with the recommended home care routine.

How do laser pigmentation treatments work?

Laser pigmentation treatments use advanced laser technology to target areas of excess pigment within the skin. The laser energy breaks down melanin deposits, which are then naturally cleared by the body over time.

These treatments can help improve:

• Sun spots and age spots

• Uneven skin tone

• Pigmented acne marks

• Certain types of melasma

Many clients begin to see visible improvement after 1–3 sessions, depending on the depth and type of pigmentation.

Which treatment is best for me?

The most suitable treatment depends on the type, depth, and cause of the pigmentation. During your consultation, your therapist will assess your skin and recommend either Cosmelan®, laser treatment, or a personalised treatment plan that may combine both approaches.

Are pigmentation treatments safe?

All treatments are carried out using professional-grade products and modern technology. A consultation and, where necessary, a patch test will be carried out beforehand to ensure the treatment is appropriate for your skin type and concerns.

With the right treatment plan and aftercare, pigmentation treatments can help restore clearer, brighter, and more even-looking skin. For prices please see our full treatment list.
