Pigmentation & Uneven Tone
Dark spots, sun damage and post-breakout marks can make skin look uneven. Pigmentation is stubborn; the right treatment depends on its cause, duration and your skin’s condition. At Kerrie Hawkins Skin Clinic I create personalised plans, professional treatments, targeted homecare and daily protection, to gradually restore clearer, brighter, more even skin.
Does this sound like your skin?
Pigmentation can appear in different ways and may become more noticeable with age, hormonal changes or sun exposure.
You may be noticing:
Brown patches or areas of darker skin
Sun spots or age spots that have become more visible over time
An uneven or mottled skin tone
Dark marks left behind after spots or breakouts
Pigmentation across the forehead, cheeks or upper lip
Pigmentation that becomes darker or more noticeable during the summer
Skin that looks dull or less clear because of uneven colour
Whatever your starting point, the first step is understanding the type of pigmentation you have and what may be contributing to it before deciding how best to treat it.
Your path to clearer, more even skin
Pigmentation is different for everyone. Explore what may be causing yours, how I approach treatment, the treatments I may recommend and what you can expect from your personalised skin journey.
-
Pigmentation occurs when the skin produces excess melanin. This can be triggered by:
Sun and UV exposure – a major cause of dark spots and uneven tone
Hormonal changes – including pregnancy and menopause
Inflammation – such as marks left behind after breakouts
Ageing – accumulated sun exposure often becomes more visible over time
Skin irritation or injury – including overly aggressive skincare or treatments
Some pigmentation sits closer to the skin's surface, while deeper or hormonally influenced pigmentation can be more persistent.
That’s why the first step is understanding what we're treating before deciding how to treat it.
-
Pigmentation is best approached as a journey rather than a one-off treatment. Your plan will be personalised to your skin and adjusted as it progresses.
1. Prepare
Strengthen and prepare the skin where needed.2. Correct
Target pigmentation with treatments such as Pro Power Peel, microneedling and personalised facials.3. Maintain
Support your results with targeted homecare and daily SPF.Your skin will be reviewed throughout, so we can decide together what it needs next.

Every plan is personalised, but an initial programme might include:
Prepare
A personalised facial to hydrate, strengthen and prepare your skin.Correct
A course of 3 Pro Power Peel treatments, usually spaced 2–4 weeks apart depending on how your skin responds.Review
We assess your progress and decide on the next stage — which may include further peels, microneedling or a more intensive pigmentation programme.Maintain
A personalised homecare routine and daily SPF help protect your progress and manage pigmentation long term. -
Professional treatments are only part of a successful pigmentation journey. The right homecare helps target existing pigmentation while protecting your skin from further darkening.
I’ll recommend a simple routine based on your skin, which may include targeted brightening products, barrier support and exfoliation where appropriate.
Daily SPF is essential when treating pigmentation and will form an important part of your plan.
-
Your treatment plan may combine different treatments depending on your skin and the type of pigmentation we’re targeting.
Pro Power Peel
Professional resurfacing to target pigmentation, uneven tone and dullness.Microneedling
Supports skin renewal and can help improve uneven tone and post-breakout pigmentation.Personalised Facials
Used to strengthen, hydrate and prepare the skin throughout your journey.Advanced Pigmentation Programmes
For more persistent pigmentation, a more intensive programme such as Melanopro may be recommended where appropriate. -
Pigmentation develops over time, so improving it usually takes time too.
Some superficial pigmentation may respond relatively quickly, while deeper or hormonally influenced pigmentation can require longer-term management.
Your progress will be reviewed throughout your treatment journey, allowing us to adjust your plan as your skin changes.
The aim is gradual, visible improvement in clarity, brightness and evenness of skin tone — while keeping your skin healthy along the way.
-
Your investment will depend on your skin and the treatment plan we create together.
As an example, an initial pigmentation journey of one personalised facial followed by three Pro Power Peel treatments is £266 for new clients, including your £20 first-visit saving and package discount.
Homecare is recommended separately based on what your skin needs — I’ll always work with what you already have where possible.
After your initial programme, we’ll review your results and decide together what comes next.
Real skin. Real progress.
Pigmentation correction takes time, but a consistent treatment plan can create visible improvements in skin tone, clarity and brightness.
