Pigmentation Treatment in Dubai
What Is Skin Pigmentation?
Pigmentation disorders — including melasma, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), sunspots and freckles — result from excess melanin production in localised areas of skin. Dubai’s intense UV exposure makes pigmentation one of the most common skin concerns in the region.
Our dermatologists design individual protocols combining PicoSure picosecond laser, chemical peels, and prescription skin-lightening products to safely and effectively even out skin tone without over-treating sensitive or dark skin types.
Common Causes
- Chronic UV exposure (sun damage, sunspots, freckles) — particularly prevalent in Dubai
- Hormonal changes causing melasma (pregnancy, contraceptives, menopause)
- Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation following acne, eczema or trauma
- Genetic predisposition to freckles or uneven melanin distribution
- Use of photosensitising medications without adequate sun protection
Treatment Options at Med Yu Med
- PicoSure picosecond laser — shatters melanin deposits with minimal heat damage
- Chemical peels (Jessner, glycolic, lactic) — exfoliate and resurface pigmented skin
- BBL phototherapy — targets superficial pigment and vascular lesions
- Mesotherapy with brightening actives (vitamin C, tranexamic acid, kojic acid)
- Prescription home-care — hydroquinone alternatives, retinoids, SPF 50+ sunscreen
What Results Can You Expect?
Sun spots and superficial pigmentation typically fade 50–80% after 2–4 laser or peel sessions.
Melasma requires 6–8 sessions and ongoing home maintenance; 60–70% improvement is realistic.
- More even, luminous skin tone
- Reduced visibility of dark spots and patches
- Brighter, refreshed complexion
