Why pigmentation needs a strategy, not just a treatment

Pigmentation has multiple causes — sun damage, hormones, post-inflammatory marks from acne or trauma, and combinations of all three. They look similar on the skin but respond to different treatments.

The DMK Even Tone Programme is our standard 6-session course for general pigmentation correction. It works on multiple drivers simultaneously and combines with home care to prevent recurrence.

Sun protection is not optional during or after a pigmentation course. SPF 50 daily is the single most important thing — without it, results do not last.


Our recommendation

Even Tone Programme

DMK 6-session course targeting hyperpigmentation, sun damage and melasma.

The protocol works on multiple pigmentation drivers — interrupting the pigment cycle, supporting healthy cell turnover, and gradually evening out skin tone.

Common questions

Will all my pigmentation clear?

Significant improvement is typical — 60-80% reduction in visible pigmentation is realistic. Complete clearance is rare, especially for melasma. We are honest at consultation.

Why do I need a consultation?

Different pigmentation types respond to different treatments. Hormonal melasma needs a different approach than sun damage; post-inflammatory marks need different care than age spots. We assess and recommend correctly.

Can I have this if I have melasma?

Yes — melasma is one of the conditions DMK Even Tone is designed for. We need to discuss any hormonal factors (pregnancy, contraceptive, HRT) and confirm the right approach.

How important is SPF really?

Critical. Without daily SPF 50, pigmentation will return within months — and you will have wasted the treatment investment. This is non-negotiable for a successful outcome.

Will it come back?

Possibly, especially without diligent sun protection. The maintenance plan we agree at the end of the course (typically 1-2 sessions a year) is key to keeping the result.
