Uneven Skin Tone? Here’s What You Can Do About It
Uneven skin tone is one of the most common concerns we see at our Port Melbourne skin clinic. Whether it’s caused by sun damage, post-inflammatory pigmentation (like acne marks), or general dullness, the good news is that there are professional ways to treat it — without damaging your skin in the process.
Here’s how we approach brightening the skin safely and effectively.
What Causes Uneven Skin Tone?
Discolouration and dullness can be triggered by:
Sun exposure (especially in Australian climates)
Hormonal changes (e.g., melasma)
Inflammation from acne or skin trauma
Natural ageing and slowed cell turnover
Addressing the root cause is the first step — not just covering it up.
Professional Treatments That Help
At Platinum Cosmetics, we offer a number of tailored solutions to improve uneven tone, including:
Fotona Laser treatments – Targets pigmentation and stimulates collagen for smoother, more even-toned skin.
Skin rejuvenation therapies – Such as light-based therapies and exfoliation-based treatments that refresh the surface of the skin.
Facials with brightening actives like vitamin C, niacinamide, and gentle acids.
Every treatment plan is based on a professional skin consultation to ensure we’re treating your skin safely and strategically.
SkinCeuticals Products That Support Even Skin Tone
When it comes to home care, we often recommend products from the SkinCeuticals range. These are backed by clinical research and can support in-clinic results:
SkinCeuticals Discoloration Defense – Targets stubborn pigmentation, including melasma and post-acne marks.
SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic – A powerful antioxidant serum that brightens, protects, and improves skin clarity over time.
SkinCeuticals Retinol 0.5 – Encourages healthy cell turnover, which can reduce surface discolouration (used under professional guidance).
Why You Should Seek Professional Advice
Treating pigmentation without the right knowledge can do more harm than good — especially if you’re using high-strength actives or incorrect laser settings. That’s why we recommend starting with a consultation to assess your skin type, underlying causes, and treatment suitability.
