If you're noticing dark spots, uneven patches, or marks left behind after a breakout that just won't fade, you're dealing with pigmentation — one of the most common skin concerns we treat at our Castlebar clinic, and one of the most treatable.
Quick Questions
What Causes Pigmentation?
Sun exposure and UV damage — the single biggest trigger
Hormonal changes, which can cause melasma
Post-inflammatory marks left after acne, injury or irritation
Natural ageing, as skin cell turnover slows
Genetics and skin type
Can pigmentation be fully removed?
Most pigmentation can be significantly faded and evened out, though ongoing sun protection and maintenance treatments help keep it from returning.
Which is better, BBL or MOXI, for pigmentation?
BBL works well for established sun spots and stronger pigmentation, while MOXI suits early pigmentation, prevention and more sensitive or melanin-rich skin. We'll advise at your consultation.
How we treat pigmentation at FACE?
BBL (BroadBand Light): our go-to for sun spots and uneven tone — it targets excess pigment at the source and evens out skin colour over a course of sessions.
MOXI: a gentler laser that suits early pigmentation, prevention, and skin that needs a lighter touch, including more melanin-rich skin tones.
Skin Peels: professional exfoliation that lifts pigmented cells and speeds up cell turnover, alongside laser or on its own.
Stacked Treatments: for stubborn or long-standing pigmentation, we often combine BBL and MOXI in one visit for faster, more noticeable results.
