About Melasma & Hyperpigmentation
Understanding the Challenge of Melasma
Melasma is one of the most complex and frustrating pigmentation disorders to manage. Characterised by stubborn brown or greyish patches on the face, it is often triggered by hormones and sun exposure. Many traditional treatments can fall short or even worsen the condition. At PRP London Clinic, we specialise in the advanced management of melasma, moving beyond surface-level fixes to address the underlying causes of this persistent condition.A Breakthrough in Melasma Management
Our clinical approach is centred on a deep understanding of melasma's pathology. It is not just an issue of excess pigment; it involves a compromised skin barrier, abnormal blood vessels, and over-stimulated pigment cells. This is why we champion Sylfirm X, a revolutionary RF Microneedling treatment. Its groundbreaking technology is engineered to specifically target these root causes, offering a safer, more reliable, and more effective path to clearer, more even-toned skin.Your Personalised Hyperpigmentation Plan
We create a bespoke, long-term management plan that combines our state-of-the-art in-clinic treatments with essential guidance on sun protection and medical-grade skincare to help you achieve and maintain control over your pigmentation.What Our Patients Are Saying
