Hyperpigmentation

Hyperpigmentation is a common skin condition, often resulting from sun exposure, hormonal changes, acne scars, or inflammation, and manifesting as dark patches or spots on the skin, disrupting its natural tone and clarity.

If hyperpigmentation is your concern, we can offer prescription-only active ingredients that are proven to effectively reduce dark spots and give you a more even complexion. 

To treat hyperpigmentation, we’ll often use the following:

  • Niacinamide: Hyperpigmentation occurs due to excess melanin beneath the skin, niacinamide helps to break down this melanin and prevent new deposits from forming

  • Hydroquinone: A compound which directly inhibits melanocytes, the cells which cause pigment production. 

  • Azaelic Acid: A tyrosinase inhibitor, this works to directly inhibit melanin production

  • Tranexamic Acid: Works by interfering with melanocyte production, it is particularly effective for UV-induced hyperpigmentation.

  • "London Skin Company are fast and super convenient, especially when it’s so hard to get a doctors appointment"

  • "As someone who suffers with atopic eczema, my skin has always been problematic, from dry to red itchy and sore. This also causes the fine lines to be more prominent. Dr Shaan listened and spend a load of time recommending a good skincare routine and the best treatments available to me. It's been just over a week and I've already noticed a difference! Really recommend to get in touch!"

  • "The practitioner was highly knowledgeable and shared details about the different products being used, tips for my skin type specifically, and made me feel comfortable and relaxed throughout. The results have been fantastic even after just one treatment!"
