Hyperpigmentation causes, solution and treatments – Sydney
Restore visible brightness and more even skin tone.
Living with uneven patches of pigment can affect your confidence and how you feel about your skin's appearance. These patches, known as hyperpigmentation, may appear as dark spots, freckles, or larger areas of discolouration.
The good news is that safe, effective hyperpigmentation treatments at our Sydney clinic can restore clearer, brighter skin — and help you feel more confident.
Pigmentation treatments available at Select Skin Sydney
We offer a range of solutions for pigmentation at our Sydney clinic, and we'd be delighted to create a tailored plan to help you achieve clearer, more radiant skin.
Understanding the causes of uneven skin tone.
What is Hyperpigmentation?
Hyperpigmentation is when certain areas of the skin become darker than the surrounding tissue. It can appear as freckles, sun spots, age spots, melasma, or marks left after acne and inflammation.
These patches occur when the skin produces excess melanin, often triggered by sun exposure, hormones, injury, or certain medications.

The types of hyperpigmentation we treat
At Select Skin, we treat a wide range of pigmentation conditions, including:
Sun spots and age spots – caused by long-term sun exposure
Melasma – often linked to hormonal changes such as pregnancy or contraceptives
Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation – marks left behind after acne, eczema, or skin trauma
Freckles and general uneven tone – pigmentation that becomes more pronounced with UV exposure
Each type requires a tailored approach, which is why we recommned a professional consultation at your first appointment.
Knowing when professional care makes a difference
When to Consider Hyperpigmentation Treatments
If uneven pigmentation is affecting your confidence, continues to darken, or isn’t improving with at-home skincare, it may be time to seek professional treatment.
Sunspots and age-related pigmentation often respond well to IPL, while melasma and other complex forms require a more cautious and tailored approach.
At Select Skin, we utilise advanced options, including Intense Pulsed Light (IPL), alongside chemical peels and professional skincare, to safely enhance clarity and restore a more even skin tone.
Why choose Select Skin for your hyperpigmentation treatments?
We offer expert care and proven results. Our dermal clinicians have extensive experience treating pigmentation concerns. Using evidence-based treatments such as lasers, peels, and professional skincare, we create personalised plans designed for lasting results and ongoing support.
Which hyperpigmentation treatment is right for you?
Personalised consultation. We begin with a comprehensive skin assessment to identify the type of hyperpigmentation you’re experiencing, such as melasma, sun spots, or post-inflammatory marks. From there, we create a treatment plan designed to safely fade pigmentation and restore clarity.
Key considerations. We take into account your skin type, sensitivity, current product use, lifestyle, and environmental factors. For best results, in-clinic treatments are often combined with professional home care to prevent recurrence and maintain improvements.
What to expect during and after treatment
Depending on your plan, treatment may include a gentle peel, advanced laser, or customised skincare. Most treatments have a low pain threshold of 2–3, and when needed we provide numbing cream to ensure your comfort.
Downtime is usually minimal, with some redness that quickly settles. Over the following weeks, pigmentation gradually fades, revealing a clearer, more even complexion. To maintain results, ongoing sun protection and the right homecare products are essential.
FAQs: Hyperpigmentation treatments
Most of our clients find any redness or sensitivity settles within a few hours to a couple of days, depending on the treatment.
Yes. Our dermal clinicians tailor treatments carefully, choosing options that are safe and effective for your unique skin type and tone.
We often recommend adjusting your homecare to support results in preparation and protection for your skin – this may include introducing professional-grade skincare along with broad spectrum sunscreen protection.
We will provide you with pre- and post-care advice, which includes avoiding sun exposure, self-tanning products, and harsh exfoliants before treatment. Afterwards, using daily SPF is essential, gentle skincare, and following the aftercare advice provided by your clinician.
