Pigmentation

A common yet complex skin concern, hyperpigmentation refers to darkened patches or uneven skin tone caused by an overproduction of melanin. At Bespoke Aesthetics, we understand that every case is different — influenced by skin type, root cause, and personal habits. Our treatments are tailored to your skin’s evolving needs, helping you restore a brighter, more even complexion over time.

What Causes Hyperpigmentation?

Melanin — the pigment responsible for skin colour — increases in response to certain triggers, including:

• Sun exposure (UV damage)

• Hormonal shifts (e.g. pregnancy, birth control)

• Post-inflammation (e.g. acne, eczema, wounds)

• Genetics and skin tone

• Medication reactions (e.g. phototoxic drugs)

• Underlying medical conditions (e.g. Addison’s disease, hemochromatosis)

Types of Pigmentation We Treat

Acne presents in several forms — each with different severities and treatment needs

Patchy brown pigmentation often linked to hormones, more common in women and medium to darker skin tones.

Flat brown or black spots from cumulative sun exposure, typically on the face, hands, and chest.

Small, sun-induced pigment spots that often appear in childhood, especially on fair skin.

Brown or red marks left after acne, eczema, or injury — more common in darker skin tones.

Well-defined pigment spots that appear later in life due to photo-damage.

At Bespoke Aesthetics, acne is never approached with a one-size-fits-all solution.

Our treatments are customised based on your acne type, skin condition, lifestyle triggers, and long-term skin goals.
