Causes of Uneven Skin Tone
Uneven pigmentation may develop as a result of:
- Prolonged sun exposure and UV damage
- Acne-related inflammation
- Hormonal changes (e.g. melasma)
- Natural ageing processes
- Lifestyle and environmental stressors
A thorough consultation helps determine the likely contributing factors and whether medical-grade treatments may support your goals.
Treatment Options for Uneven Tone
Examples of non-surgical treatments that may support skin texture and tone: laser skin treatments for resurfacing, chemical peels for exfoliation and brightness, and PRP therapy to stimulate natural renewal.
Laser Skin Treatments
Laser technology may help address pigmentation irregularities by targeting excess melanin in the skin. Specific wavelengths of light energy are absorbed by the pigmented cells, which are then broken down and naturally processed by the body.
Chemical Peels
Superficial to medium-depth chemical peels may assist in the removal of damaged outer skin layers, revealing a more uniform complexion underneath. These treatments also support ongoing skin renewal and brightness.
PRP Therapy (Platelet-Rich Plasma)
PRP uses the body’s own growth factors to support skin regeneration. When applied in cases of uneven tone, it may help promote healthier skin turnover and reduce signs of post-inflammatory pigmentation or skin fatigue.
What to Expect
Treatments for uneven tone are typically performed as part of a series, with progressive improvements seen over several weeks. A personalised treatment plan is provided during consultation.
Patients are advised to:
- Use high-SPF sunscreen consistently
- Avoid excessive heat or sun exposure after treatment
- Follow a practitioner-recommended skincare plan
