Pigmentation & Sun Spots
Pigmentation Treatment in Sydney, Chatswood & Hurstville
Uneven skin tone, sun spots, and melasma are among the most common skin concerns we see at Medical Aesthetics 360. These conditions can affect not only how your skin looks, but also your overall confidence and sense of balance in your appearance.
At our doctor-led clinics in Chatswood and Hurstville, we focus on personalised assessment and tailored treatment planning to support safer, more predictable outcomes for different types of pigmentation.
What Type of Pigmentation Do You Have?
Pigmentation is not one-size-fits-all. Different types require different approaches, and treating them incorrectly may increase the risk of further imbalance.
We commonly assess concerns such as:
- Uneven skin tone or visible dark patches
- Sun-induced freckles and sun spots
- Melasma or hormonally influenced pigmentation
- Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH)
- Pigmentation affecting facial harmony and confidence
A careful diagnosis helps guide appropriate options while minimising unnecessary risk.
Why Personalised Assessment Matters
At Medical Aesthetics 360, every pigmentation consultation is designed to understand your skin in detail before recommending any treatment pathway.
During your consultation, our team will consider:
- The type, location, and depth of pigmentation
- Your skin type and sensitivity profile
- History of sun exposure and hormonal influences
- Risk of post-treatment pigment changes or irritation
- Your individual goals and expectations
This structured approach allows us to create a plan that prioritises skin safety, gradual improvement, and long-term skin quality.
Treatment Options for Pigmentation (Chatswood & Hurstville)
Depending on your assessment, your personalised plan may include a combination of approaches such as:
- Medical-grade skincare to support skin clarity and stability
- Light-based skin rejuvenation treatments to target visible pigmentation
- Skin resurfacing or collagen-stimulating treatments
- Preventative strategies to reduce recurrence
All recommendations are made following a clinical assessment to ensure suitability for your skin.
Melasma & Sensitive Pigmentation: A Cautious Approach
Melasma and certain types of pigmentation can be more complex and reactive. Overly aggressive treatments may worsen the condition.
At our clinics, we take a conservative and staged approach, focusing on:
- Gradual improvement rather than quick fixes
- Protecting the skin barrier
- Reducing triggers such as UV exposure and heat
- Supporting long-term maintenance

- Sun exposure (UV damage) – A major contributor to pigmentation and sunspots.
- Hormonal changes – Estrogen and progesterone fluctuations can lead to pigmentation, such as melasma.
- Skin trauma – Acne, cuts, burns, or psoriasis can cause post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH).
- Certain medications – Some drugs may increase melanin production.
- Underlying medical conditions – Autoimmune diseases or metabolic disorders can contribute to pigmentation issues.
