SkinBase Microdermabrasion 

SkinBase Microdermabrasion is non-invasive, designed to gently improve the appearance of the skin through exfoliation. As a result, it is an excellent method used to get rid of pigmentation. By gently removing the outermost layer of dead skin cells, microdermabrasion minimises the appearance of pigmentation and stimulates cell renewal, for a more even appearance. Microdermabrasion is a progressive treatment. As you progress through a course of treatments, pigmentation can gradually be brought to the skin’s surface.  Then, your SkinBase therapist can slough it away, revealing the new, fresh skin beneath. How effective this is will depend on the depth of the pigmentation.

Chemical Peel 

Chemical peels use strong concentrations of acids to get rid of pigmentation for more even skin. A professional grade peel can remove the top layer of skin, or even penetrate deep into the dermis. Therefore, peels achieve powerful results against pigmentation. However, redness and irritation are common side effects of the pigmentation treatment, while blistering, infection and scarring are possible but much less common. You can find out more about the similarities and differences between Microdermabrasion and chemical peels on the blog here.

SkinBase Intense Pulsed Light 

SkinBase IPL photorejuvenation is a popular, light based therapy. Consequently, our SkinBase therapists frequently use IPL to get rid of pigmentation. Your therapist will target specific pulses of light at the skin to break down excess melanin. Thereby, gradually fading dark patches for a more even complexion. Unlike other laser pigmentation treatments, IPL is non-ablative so you can get rid of pigmentation without damaging the surface of the skin. So, find out more about treating pigmentation with SkinBase IPL.

Rebecca Willshee Nail and Beauty Specialist

Testimonial: “JC was so low, suicidal at points. Sore, red, angry, his skin was awful, we had tried everything and doctors you name it. We reached out to Becky, who was wonderful. My son was quiet and withdrawn, lacked confidence and self esteem, and locked himself away from the world. Becky booked us in for a consultation to discuss different options of treatments and we decided the new hydro treatment would be the best option. We started the course and JC was nervous but Becky was great with him talking him through everything, step by step! As we went each time JC’s skin got better and better, but also the difference in him was huge, he was gaining confidence, shoulders back, head held high. We have watched his skin change from this red, aggressive, angry skin that was sore, acne was debilitating to him but now he is confident, holds his head up high and has even got his first job! We are so proud. When we met Becky I felt confident she would help us get his skin better and back on track but what has actually happened is skin looks amazing but to see our son gain confidence has been the biggest win! Teens often get pushed aside, put on string meds and told “it’s just your age” but this isn’t what they want to hear, but The SkinBase treatments Becky has done has changed his life! We cannot thank you enough Becky! JC is continuing with the treatments as it still gets the odd breakouts but the scarring is still improving week in week out. The hydro Facial is just amazing and we cannot recommend it enough and of course Becky and her passion for skin and helping people is wonderful!”
