More even tone, from a plan that suits your skin
Pigmentation treatment in Solihull for sun damage, dark marks and uneven tone, always starting with an assessment.
Overview
Uneven tone, dark marks, sun damage and patches of pigmentation can make skin look dull or inconsistent. Pigmentation can build gradually or appear after breakouts, inflammation, sun or hormonal changes. At AL Aesthetics in Solihull, pigmentation plans are based on the type of pigmentation present, your skin tone, sensitivity and goals, so the approach is matched rather than generic.
What is skin pigmentation?
Pigmentation is the colour in your skin created by melanin. Hyperpigmentation happens when areas produce more melanin, so patches or marks look darker than the surrounding skin. Common types include sun damage, age spots, post-inflammatory pigmentation after acne or irritation, uneven tone and melasma. Each behaves differently, so correct assessment comes first.
What causes pigmentation?
Pigmentation may be caused or worsened by sun exposure, inflammation, acne, skin injury, hormonal changes, heat, genetics, some medications or harsh skincare. UV is one of the biggest contributors to uneven tone and sun damage. Some pigmentation is superficial and responds gradually; deeper or hormone-linked pigmentation needs longer-term management and ongoing SPF.
Signs of pigmentation
You may notice brown patches, dark marks after spots, freckles, sun spots, age spots, uneven tone or dullness, often around the cheeks, forehead, upper lip, jawline or hands. Any mole, freckle or patch that changes in size, shape, colour or texture, or starts bleeding, should be checked medically before aesthetic treatment.
How we assess your skin
We identify the type, location and pattern of pigmentation, and review your skin tone, sensitivity, sun exposure, current skincare, previous treatments and whether pigmentation worsens after inflammation or heat. This helps us choose treatments that improve the look of uneven tone while keeping the risk of irritation low.
Treatments that may help pigmentation
- PRX T33: May help improve dullness, uneven tone and overall skin quality, with minimal visible peeling for many people.
- Skin Pen Microneedling: Can support skin renewal and improve the look of texture and pigmentation in selected cases, with suitability based on skin type and pattern.
- NCTF Skin Revitalisation: May support hydration, radiance and skin quality for a fresher, more even-looking complexion.
- ZO Skin Health Facial and homecare: Can support pigment management, exfoliation, cell turnover and daily SPF habits as part of a long-term plan.
Recommended skincare for pigmentation
Pigmentation-prone skin needs consistent sun protection and a carefully chosen routine. Daily broad-spectrum SPF is essential, since UV makes pigmentation look darker and reduces the impact of treatment. Your plan may include ZO Skin Health products to support exfoliation, tone correction, antioxidant protection and barrier health.
Our approach
We start by understanding why the pigmentation developed and how your skin is likely to respond, then tailor treatment and homecare for safer, more consistent improvement.
Why choose AL Aesthetics?

Frequently Asked Questions
Is melasma treated on this page?
Melasma is a specific, hormone-linked form of pigmentation. If we suspect melasma, we may direct you to a dedicated melasma treatment plan.
How long does pigmentation treatment take?
Pigmentation usually improves gradually, so a course of treatments and consistent homecare are often needed.
Is pigmentation treatment suitable for darker skin tones?
Yes. Treatment is tailored for different skin tones, with careful selection to minimise irritation and post-inflammatory pigmentation.
Can sun damage be improved?
The appearance of sun damage and uneven tone may improve with professional treatment and skincare, but daily SPF is essential to protect the skin.
What is the best treatment for pigmentation?
It depends on the type of pigmentation, your skin tone and the triggers. After assessment, PRX T33, SkinPen microneedling, NCTF Skin Revitalisation or a ZO Skin Health routine may be considered.
