Revitalise your complexion with our advanced pigmentation treatments

Glow with Confidence

Eliminate dark spots and achieve an even skin tone with our pigmentation removal treatments in Melbourne.

What it is

Pigmentation removal utilises advanced techniques to target and reduce excess melanin in the skin. Depending on your skin type and pigmentation concerns, treatments such as laser, chemical peels, fractional radiofrequency, or plasma Pen may be used. These procedures work by breaking down pigmented cells, promoting cell turnover, and stimulating collagen production for a clearer, more even-toned complexion. Sessions typically last 30 to 60 minutes, with minimal downtime, allowing you to quickly resume your normal activities.

Who it’s for

Pigmentation removal is perfect for those seeking to treat sunspots, liver spots, melasma, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. It benefits individuals with uneven skin tone or dark patches, helping them achieve a more balanced complexion. Suitable for all skin types, this treatment can be tailored to meet specific concerns.

The science behind it

Pigmentation treatments are designed to target and break down excess melanin while preserving the surrounding skin. As pigmented cells shed, new, healthy skin emerges, resulting in a clearer, more even complexion. The program includes both in-clinic treatments and at-home care. Your therapist will recommend homecare products such as brightening agents, cell renewal boosters, and pigment inhibitors to enhance results and ensure long-term benefits.

Preparation

Before undergoing pigmentation removal, avoid sun exposure and tanning for at least two weeks. Discontinue retinoids, exfoliants, and other potent skincare products 3 days prior. Your clinician may recommend a pre-treatment skincare regimen to prepare your skin. On the day of the treatment, cleanse your skin thoroughly and avoid applying makeup, lotions, or creams. Please do not plan any public events after the treatment.

Aftercare - Pigmentation Treatment
  • After your treatment, it’s normal for the skin to appear red, swollen, or tight, which usually settles within a few hours.
  • Treated pigmentation may darken or form scabs. This is part of the healing process. Do not pick; let the scabs shed naturally.
  • You may notice some breakouts as your skin purges impurities. This is temporary—avoid picking, and allow your skin to heal.
  • Skip hot showers for the first 24 hours and avoid vigorous workouts, saunas, steam rooms, and pools for seven days to prevent irritation.
  • Stay out of direct sunlight, and apply a broad-spectrum SPF daily to protect your skin.
  • Use only gentle cleansers, followed by your recommended moisturiser and sunscreen.
  • Avoid scrubs, acids, and retinoids for at least seven days.
  • Use only mineral makeup with clean applicators if you wish to.
  • Avoid any other treatment on the same area for 3 weeks before and after.

Our Approach to Pigmentation Removal

At Medix, we understand that pigmentation varies in depth, type, and cause, requiring a tailored approach for the best results. We begin with a thorough skin assessment to determine the nature of your pigmentation and identify any underlying internal or external factors.

Based on your skin’s needs, we may recommend a course of gentle chemical peels, advanced resurfacing treatments, or precise targeting using laser or plasma pen technology. To support and maintain your results, we also prescribe targeted homecare products that work synergistically with in-clinic treatments.

Our personalised programs are designed to visibly reduce pigmentation, restore clarity, improve overall skin health, and help prevent future discolouration.
