Help For Hyperpigmentation
How to Treat Sun Damage & Dark Spots For Clearer Looking Skin
At k:SPA Skin and Beauty Clinic in Whiteley, Fareham, we see many clients concerned about hyperpigmentation — those frustrating dark spots, patches, and uneven skin tone that can appear over time. The good news is, with the right treatments and home care, you can improve the appearance of pigmentation and restore a brighter, more even complexion.
Let’s explore why hyperpigmentation happens, what you can do about it, and how our expert team at k:SPA can help.
What Causes Hyperpigmentation?
Hyperpigmentation happens when the skin produces too much melanin, the pigment responsible for skin colour. One of the biggest culprits behind this is sun exposure.
Even if you’re careful, repeated sun exposure builds up over the years. UV rays stimulate melanin production, leading to freckles, age spots, and larger patches of pigmentation, often on the face, chest, shoulders, and hands. Other triggers like hormonal changes, inflammation, and certain medications can also contribute, but sun damage is by far the most common cause we treat in the clinic.
How k:SPA Can Help Reduce Pigmentation
At k:SPA, we offer professional treatments designed to target pigmentation safely and effectively.
Our targeted facials use advanced formulas and techniques to brighten and smooth the skin, helping to fade dark spots and restore radiance. For more stubborn or localised areas, we offer advanced electrolysis, a specialist treatment that works on small, resistant pigmentation patches.
What makes the difference at k:SPA is our expert skin consultations. We don’t just treat the surface — we help you understand what’s happening in your skin and recommend the most suitable treatments, skincare products, and daily habits to support long-term improvement.
At-Home Support: Dermalogica PowerBright Range
Professional treatments work best when paired with the right skincare. That’s why we recommend the Dermalogica PowerBright range, which is specifically designed to reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation.
The PowerBright products work to fade dark spots, even skin tone, and boost radiance. With ingredients like niacinamide and hexylresorcinol, they brighten the complexion while supporting the skin’s barrier function. Used consistently, these products can help maintain and enhance the results of your in-clinic treatments.
Why Daily SPF Is Non-Negotiable
Perhaps the most important step in managing hyperpigmentation is daily sun protection. Without it, new pigmentation can form, and existing spots can worsen — even on cloudy days or through windows.
At k:SPA, we will recommend the best SPF for your skin type, helping you protect your skin and preserve the beautiful results of your treatments. Remember, prevention is just as important as correction.
