Struggling with Pigmentation? Here’s What Actually Works
Pigmentation is one of the most common skin concerns we see at our Port Melbourne clinic — and also one of the most misunderstood. Whether it shows up as sunspots, melasma, post-acne marks or general unevenness, pigmentation can be frustrating and hard to treat without the right support.
At Platinum Cosmetics, we take a personalised approach to treating pigmentation, using advanced treatments and targeted home care to deliver real results safely and effectively.
What Causes Pigmentation?
Pigmentation issues can be triggered by:
Sun exposure (UV damage is the leading cause of uneven skin tone)
Hormonal changes (especially melasma)
Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (e.g. marks left after acne or skin trauma)
Ageing skin, which tends to show more visible sun damage over time
The key is understanding the underlying cause before choosing treatment — because the wrong approach can actually make pigmentation worse.
Our Approach to Treating Pigmentation
At Platinum Cosmetics, we offer a range of services to treat pigmentation safely:
Fotona Laser treatments to target deeper pigmentation and improve skin clarity
Skin rejuvenation for boosting cellular turnover and evening out tone
Targeted facials designed to exfoliate gently and brighten dull or patchy skin
All treatments begin with a thorough skin consultation so we can choose the most effective path forward for your skin type and goals.
SkinCeuticals Products for Pigmentation
A professional treatment plan should always be supported by a high-quality skincare routine. These SkinCeuticals products are formulated specifically to reduce the appearance of pigmentation and promote a brighter, more even complexion:
SkinCeuticals Discoloration Defense – A daily serum designed to reduce dark spots and even tone without causing irritation
SkinCeuticals Phloretin CF – A potent antioxidant serum that targets discolouration and protects against environmental damage
SkinCeuticals Advanced Brightening UV Defense SPF 50 – Broad-spectrum sunscreen with brightening ingredients to protect and correct at the same time
Why You Need Sunscreen Every Single Day
Pigmentation will always worsen with unprotected sun exposure — even if you don’t burn. That’s why daily sunscreen is essential, especially if you’re treating pigmentation. At Platinum Cosmetics, we recommend choosing a high-SPF broad-spectrum sunscreen like the SkinCeuticals Advanced Brightening UV Defense.
