Understanding Pigmentation: Causes, Symptoms & Treatments at our Clinic
Pigmentation refers to the darkening or discolouration of the skin, as a result of overactivity of the melanin-producing cells. We offer a range of effective treatments to address this concern.
Causes:
Excessive sun exposure (photodamage), hormonal changes (melasma), and trauma to the skin (PIH) can contribute to pigmentation issues.
Symptoms:
Pigmentation can appear in various way. Photodamage tends to appear in patches over sun-exposed areas. Melasma typically has a symmetrical distribution over the forehed, cheeks or upper lip. Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) is seen after inflammation or injury to the skin.

Just had a great hydrafacial with Kelly. The information and step by step explanations were great. We talked through my concerns and I was given some really great advice that felt genuine and supportive to improve my skin (rather than just a sales pitch). I have definitely found my new place for facials and am booking my next appointment now!!![]()

I had a wonderful experience at Dr Ana Skin Clinic, where I enjoyed a Maternity Facial with Kelly. From start to finish, Kelly was incredibly professional, caring, and attentive, making me feel comfortable, relaxed, and well looked after throughout the treatment. She took great care to ensure everything was perfect, and the whole experience felt so calming and special. The service was excellent, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thank you, Kelly, for such a lovely treatment! 💕![]()

Today, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to Dr. Ana and her incredible team for showing me something that goes far beyond professional care — genuine compassion, kindness, and humanity. Going through cancer has been one of the scariest and most difficult experiences of my life. When you face an illness like this, you realise how precious life is and how much a little kindness, understanding, and warmth can mean. Returning to Dr Ana Skin Clinic today was an emotional moment for me, and the way Dr Ana welcomed me back touched my heart more than words can express. Dr Ana is not only an exceptionally talented and highly skilled doctor, but, above all, a truly wonderful woman with a beautiful heart. She understands that illness does not discriminate, that life can change for any of us, and that behind every face is a person with feelings, fears, and a story. Her compassion made me feel welcomed, understood, and cared for at a time when I needed it most. A very special thank you to Kelly, with whom I shared a few tears today. Sometimes, words are simply not enough, and it is in these emotional moments that the true kindness of another person shines through. Thank you for your warmth, understanding, and for making me feel that I was not just another client walking through the door. Thank you also to Anastasia and Amna for being part of such a lovely and caring team. Every one of you contributed to making my return feel special, and I will carry that kindness with me. Dr Ana, you are a beautiful reminder that being a great doctor is not just about knowledge, talent, or skill — it is also about having the heart to care for people when life becomes frightening and uncertain. Cancer may change many things in life, but it also makes you appreciate the truly special people who cross your path. Today, I was reminded that kindness can bring comfort, tears can be shared with understanding, and compassion can make even the hardest journey feel a little less lonely. From the bottom of my heart, thank you, Dr Ana, Kelly, Anastasia, and Amna. You are all wonderful, and I feel genuinely grateful to have been welcomed back by such a special team. With heartfelt appreciation and love. ❤️![]()

I had an appointment with Ali this time. He was extremely knowledgeable about good skin care and the combinations of products and treatments that can be used. Anastasia gave further advice about skin care. I bought a few items that I am delighted with. Everyone and everything about this clinic is superb. Highly recommend !!
FAQs
Find answers to frequently asked questions about skin conditions and treatments offered at our clinic.
Melasma-related pigmentation can be associated with menopausal changes due to the hormonal fluctuations, it is therefore not uncommon to see throughout your 40s and 50s. It is important to see a skin practitioner for an assessment to establish the cause of your concerns.
Yes, there are plenty of treatment options with minimal discomfort or downtime. These include skincare, aerolase laser & LED-light therapy.
Aerolase utilises an Nd:YAG laser technology (1064nm) with an innovative short pulse duration of 650ms. Similarly to picolaser, this enables a gentle, low-heat producing treatment that is safe for all skin types.
We will recommend you a bespoke skin regimen according to the assessment findings. This may include either medical-grade SkinCeuticals or Alastin products. In some cases, we may consider prescription-grade Obagi products (including the Obagi Nu-derm programme) as medically indicated.
Lifestyle measures are very effective in improving hyperpigmentation concerns. These include direct sun avoidance and daily use of an SPF 30-50. For melasma we recommend avoiding excessive heat and choosing a mineral-based sunscreen.
