How to Improve Pigmentation and Sun Damage After Summer

As summer fades, many of us notice changes in our skin: stubborn pigmentation, freckles that linger, or an overall dullness from months of UV exposure. While sun-kissed memories may last, the effects of sun damage on the skin can be unwelcome – and difficult to reverse without expert care.

At Dr Preema London Clinic in Mayfair, we specialise in advanced, non-surgical solutions for pigmentation and sun damage. From state-of-the-art technologies such as Sylfirm X and IPL to proven treatments like chemical peels, Dermalux LED and medical-grade skincare, our holistic approach ensures that each patient receives a tailored plan that suits their skin, goals and budget.

Understanding Pigmentation and Melasma

Pigmentation occurs when the skin produces excess melanin, often triggered by sun exposure, hormonal fluctuations or inflammation. While some pigmentation can be superficial, other forms – such as melasma – sit deeper within the skin and can be notoriously resistant to treatment.

Melasma often shows up as uneven brown or grey patches across the cheeks, forehead or upper lip. Because of its complex nature, it can be one of the hardest pigmentation concerns to treat safely and effectively – but this is where we have some of the most advanced tools at our disposal.

Sylfirm X: Advanced Treatment for Pigmentation and Melasma

This is where Sylfirm X makes a real difference. Unlike many traditional approaches, which may have limited success or risk irritation, Sylfirm X uses cutting-edge radiofrequency microneedling to specifically target the abnormal blood vessels and pigment-producing cells that drive melasma. At our clinic, Sylfirm X is often recommended for:

● Melasma and resistant pigmentation

● Sun damage and uneven skin tone

● Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation

● Skin rejuvenation with minimal downtime

Patients also benefit from the treatment’s comfort, versatility, and suitability for all skin types.

Other Options for Pigmentation and Sun Damage

While Sylfirm X is often the gold standard for complex pigmentation, we may also recommend:

● IPL (Intense Pulsed Light): Excellent for targeting sun spots, freckles, and redness caused by sun damage.

● Chemical Peels: Help to exfoliate damaged cells, brighten dull skin, and even tone.

● Dermalux LED Phototherapy: Calms inflammation, accelerates healing, and enhances results when combined with other treatments.

● Medical-Grade Skincare: Products such as iS Clinical, Skinbetter Science, Revision Skincare and Exo|e are available through our clinic and online store to maintain results and prevent new pigmentation forming.

Personalised Consultation and Aura Skin Analysis

Every patient’s skin is unique — which is why we begin with a consultation with one of our highly trained Medical Aestheticians. Using the cutting-edge Aura skin analysis system, we can assess the true extent of sun damage and pigmentation beneath the skin’s surface. From there, we create a personalised treatment plan which may involve a combination of therapies. We always take into account your budget, timescale, and lifestyle, ensuring you feel supported and empowered throughout your journey.
