Pigmentation Treatment

A personalised programme to reduce dark spots, even out your skin tone, and keep pigmentation under control. Not a single treatment, but a complete plan built around your skin.

Skin Transformation Pathway

Understanding pigmentation

Pigmentation happens when skin cells produce too much melanin, leaving dark spots and uneven patches across the skin. It can show up as sunspots from years of UV exposure, or as larger patches caused by hormonal changes. Melasma (sometimes called chloasma) is one of the most common forms, often appearing across the cheeks, forehead, and upper lip.

The causes vary. Sun damage, pregnancy, contraceptive use, certain medications, inflammation, and ageing can all trigger excess melanin production. Many people try to cover it with makeup for years without realising there are clinical treatments that can make a real difference.

At Trēs, we treat pigmentation as a structured skin project. Every programme starts with understanding the type and depth of your pigmentation using an AI skin scanner, then building a plan that combines professional homecare with targeted clinical treatments.

What to Expect

Results and timelines

Results are always client-dependent. Pigmentation varies significantly from person to person, both in type and in how deep the melanin sits within the skin. Some clients see a noticeable improvement within the first few weeks of starting homecare. For others, particularly those with deeper pigmentation or melasma, it takes longer.

Our programmes typically run from 3 months to one year, depending on the severity and how your skin responds. Your plan is reviewed at every appointment and adjusted as we go. The goal is always the same: a more even skin tone, fewer dark spots, and a routine that keeps pigmentation under control long after the programme ends.

Your Programme

The pigmentation pathway

Free skin consultation

Every pathway starts here. We assess your skin using an AI skin scanner to measure the depth and extent of your pigmentation, then talk through your concerns and work out the best treatment course for you. No obligation, no pressure, and no cost.

ZO Skin Health homecare

Mara prescribes a personalised homecare routine using ZO Skin Health. Mara holds a Masters in Cosmetic Science and is trained in skin to Level 7. For pigmentation, the ZO Brightening Programme is typically recommended, designed to inhibit excess melanin production, lighten existing dark spots, and protect against further discolouration. Your homecare is the foundation of the entire programme.

In-clinic treatment course

Alongside your homecare, we recommend professional treatments targeting pigment specifically. Depending on your skin, this may include a course of pigmentation peels, laser treatments, or Cosmelan. Cosmelan by Mesoestetic is widely regarded as the gold standard in depigmentation and runs as a full 6-month protocol for more significant pigmentation concerns. A typical peel or laser course involves 3 to 6 sessions, spaced to give your skin time to respond and recover between appointments.

Ongoing maintenance

Once your initial programme is complete, we recommend a maintenance appointment once every 3 months to keep your results on track. Combined with your homecare routine, this helps prevent pigmentation from returning and maintains the even skin tone you have worked for.

Questions

Frequently asked

What causes pigmentation?

Pigmentation occurs when skin cells produce excess melanin, creating dark spots and uneven patches. Common causes include sun exposure, hormonal changes (such as pregnancy or contraceptive use), inflammation, and ageing. Melasma is one of the most common forms, causing larger patches of discolouration often across the cheeks, forehead, and upper lip.

Can pigmentation be treated?

Yes. Pigmentation can be significantly reduced with the right combination of professional treatments and homecare. At Trēs, we use ZO Skin Health homecare alongside clinical treatments such as pigmentation peels, Cosmelan depigmentation, and laser to target excess melanin, even out skin tone, and prevent new pigmentation from forming.

What is Cosmelan?

Cosmelan is a professional depigmentation treatment made by Mesoestetic, widely regarded in the industry as the gold standard in depigmentation. It runs as a full 6-month protocol and works by inhibiting melanin production at the source, reducing existing dark spots and preventing new ones from forming. At Trēs, Cosmelan is recommended for more significant pigmentation concerns and starts from £900.

How long does pigmentation treatment take?

Results are client-dependent. Our pigmentation programmes typically range from 3 months to one year, depending on the type and depth of pigmentation and how the skin responds. Your programme is reviewed at every appointment and adjusted as needed.

How much does pigmentation treatment cost?

The initial consultation is free. A full ZO Skin Health homecare package is from £200 depending on what your skin needs. Pigmentation peels and laser treatments are £100 to £150 per session, with a course of 3 to 6 sessions recommended. The Cosmelan programme is a more intensive 6-month protocol starting from £900, recommended for more significant pigmentation concerns. Everything is discussed at your free consultation.

Do I need a consultation before starting?

Yes. Every pigmentation pathway begins with a free skin consultation, which includes an AI skin scanner assessment. This allows us to measure the depth of your pigmentation, understand its cause, and put together the right treatment plan. No two clients are the same, so the consultation is essential.
