Melasma is a form of hyperpigmentation often triggered by sun exposure, hormones (such as pregnancy or contraceptives), or genetics. It commonly appears as:

Frequently Asked Questions

What is melasma and how does it affect the skin?

Melasma is a common skin condition that causes dark patches and uneven skin tone, especially on the cheeks, forehead, and upper lip. It’s often triggered by hormones, sun exposure, and genetics — and can be difficult to treat without expert support. At our skin clinic in the heart of Islington, we specialise in aesthetic treatments for all skin types, including skin of colour.

What treatments do you offer for melasma in Islington?

We offer a carefully curated range of treatments designed to gently reduce pigmentation and restore clarity:
Chemical peels (like glycolic acid or lactic acid)
Laser treatment for targeted pigmentation
Microneedling with boosters to refresh and regenerate
Medical-grade skincare and rejuvenation facial add-ons
All treatments are part of a personalised treatment approach, ensuring the best outcome for your unique skin and lifestyle.

How do peels help treat melasma?

A facial peel helps by exfoliating the surface of the skin and reducing pigmentation issues. It removes damaged layers while encouraging new collagen and elastin production — leading to smoother skin texture, a brighter tone, and improved resilience.

Where is your melasma clinic located?

You’ll find us in the heart of Islington, offering professional care at a treat medi spa environment that blends aesthetics with expert dermatology insight. We’re known for safe, effective results and an atmosphere that helps you feel both supported and in control.

Do I need a consultation first?

Absolutely. Every client starts with a personalised consultation to assess your skin concerns, medical history, and triggers. This helps us tailor the treatment process to your individual skin type and ensure safe, long-lasting results.

Is the treatment painful?

Most skin treatments — including skin peels and laser — are either painless or cause only mild tingling. We’ll walk you through the treatment process step by step and offer soothing aftercare to ensure your skin after treatment stays calm and well-protected.

How long does it take to see results?

You may notice a fresher glow within a week, but best results usually appear over a series of treatments. Melasma is a chronic condition, and long-term improvement often involves managing skin needs and protecting from triggers like UV exposure. We’ll guide you through this, every step of the way.

Is it suitable for all skin tones?

Yes. Our team is skilled and experienced in working with all skin types and skin tones, including darker complexions. We use non-invasive techniques that are effective in treating pigmentation without causing post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

What skincare should I use after my treatment?

Post-treatment, we recommend calming skincare to support healing, plus broad-spectrum SPF to protect your progress. Our team will customise your aftercare plan based on your skin type and the facial treatment you receive.
