What is skin pigmentation caused by?
Skin pigmentation occurs when the cells in our skin produce too much pigmentation, called melanin. This can be seen as discolouration on the face and body, often referred to as hyperpigmentation. Skin pigmentation can be caused by a number of factors; genetic and racial factors, not using the best skin care products for your skin type, medication or drug use, stress and hormonal imbalances, or a buildup of dead skin cells on the skin. Of course, one of the biggest contributing factors to skin pigmentation developing, is exposure to the sun, and damaging UV rays.
Pigmentation is categorised as either passive pigmentation (which is caused by external factors such as sun damage) or inflammatory pigmentation (which is caused when the skin’s microbiome is not in a harmonious state). Either way, it is important to determine what has triggered your pigmentation in order to arrive at a suitable solution for tackling pigmented skin.

The Best Face & Skin Treatments for Pigmentation
With all the treatments we use at Skin From Within, we follow the DMK protocol of Remove, Rebuild, Protect & Maintain. Therefore, no matter which pigmentation you and your skin therapist choose is best for you, you can guarantee they will remove dead skin cells, rebuild the skin to a healthy state, protect the skin from environmental factors and maintain optimal skin function through an at-home skincare routine. There are plenty of pigmentation removal treatments to choose from, and your skin therapist can help determine the best combination of treatments for your skin goals and budget.
Enzyme Therapy: The Ultimate Pigmentation Facial
DMK Enzyme Therapy is a revolutionary skin treatment that helps to address pigmentation on the face. Using natural enzymes, it works to reduce pigmentation caused by sun damage, genetics and hormones. The enzyme formula is specifically designed to target pigmentation at a cellular level, breaking it down so that it can be removed through the body’s lymphatic system, and therefore reducing pigmentation and discolouration on the face. DMK Enzyme Therapy is a safe and natural treatment for pigmentation removal that provides lasting benefits with minimal risk of side effects.
Facial Peels for Pigmentation Removal
Facial peels are a great solution for pigmentation removal on the face. These peels contain powerful exfoliating ingredients that slough away pigmented skin cells, lightening the pigmentation over time. There are many different facial treatments that fall under the label of ‘peels’ and each can be catered to your specific skin concerns, treating not only your pigmentation, but also having an effect on signs of ageing or acne, for example.
Your qualified skin therapist can determine the best peel for your skin concerns and the number of treatments that will be required to achieve your desired results. Precise application of the peel ensures that treatments are tailored specifically to each individual’s skin type, condition and desired outcome. The powerful ingredients used in these facial peels work by gently breaking apart the pigments, dramatically reducing dark spots caused by sun damage or age-related pigmentation.
Cryotherapy for Skin Pigmentation
Cryotherapy (also known as cold therapy) is a safe and non-invasive treatment for skin that's showing signs of pigmentation. This therapy exposes the skin to extremely cold temperatures within a controlled environment to stimulate blood flow and bring fresh oxygenated blood and nutrients to the exposed areas. This reduces inflammation, one of the root causes of skin pigmentation, and kick-starts the skin’s immune system response and skin repair process. DMK’s unique cryotherapy formulation, Cryo Pro-X exposes dead cells to poly lactic and glycolic acid in cold temperatures - causing them to freeze, fracture and slough away while preserving the healthy, living skin beneath. It further addresses hyperpigmentation by stimulating collagen production, which helps to break up the pigmented skin cells and leave a renewed, glowing, firmer-looking complexion.
Pigmentation Removal with IPL Skin Rejuvenation
IPL Skin Rejuvenation has been widely regarded in the world of skin health as an effective pigmentation removal method. And no - IPL, isn’t just for hair removal! It works by sending short bursts of light directly into the pigmented areas of skin, passing through the outer layers of skin, to break up pigmented cells without harming the surrounding tissue.
The pigmented cells are then fragmented and dispersed as part of the body’s natural healing process, resulting in a much brighter complexion that removes years off your look. Compared to other facial treatments, IPL is a more targeted approach, focusing on the specific sun damaged, pigmented area.
Microdermabrasion & LED Face Treatments for Pigmentation
Microdermabrasion and LED light therapy are both highly effective treatments for removal of pigmentation on the face. Microdermabrasion uses an instrument to exfoliate away pigmented skin cells. LED light therapy targets pigmented skin cells by promoting circulation and collagen production in order to reduce dark pigmentation.
Both treatments even out your skin complexion, however when combined, the two treatments can provide even better results for pigmentation removal. The combination of exfoliation plus cell renewal treatments work together to speed up pigmentation removal while repairing damaged skin cells; this helps to achieve quicker, more dramatic results than either treatment alone. The ultimate result? A smoother, brighter, more even-toned complexion.

Homecare skincare products for skin pigmentation
When combined with skincare products that are specifically designed for pigmented skin, these skin pigmentation treatments can make a significant difference in reducing the appearance of pigmentation and improving facial complexion. Here are some of our faves:
Sunscreen:
After any pigmentation removal treatment, make sure to use sunscreen every day and avoid direct sun exposure. This will help protect your skin and newly revitalised skin tone from further damage. A minimum SPF of 30 is recommended to prevent UV rays from damaging the new cells that were treated. Additionally, wearing a wide-brimmed hat can help provide greater protection in areas not covered or protected by clothing or sunscreen.
Melanotech Drops, Melanotech Creme & Super Bright: The power trio of skincare for pigmentation
These DMK pigmentation essentials work together to help to revise and prevent pigmentation caused by inflammatory conditions (e.g. rosacea and acne) or for those with darker skin tones. They also help to brighten the skin, without bleaching it, working to address skin pigmentation at all levels of its development.
