Hyperpigmentation refers to areas of the skin that appear darker than the surrounding skin. This happens
when excess melanin - the pigment that gives skin its colour - is produced. It can become harmful and it
can affect your confidence and skin appearance.
At CLAI, we understand how frustrating uneven skin tone and dark spots can be. Hyperpigmentation is a
common skin concern that affects people of all skin tones and ages; however, the good news is that it’s
highly treatable with the right approach.
Whether your pigmentation is caused by sun exposure, hormones or past acne breakouts, our team offers
personalised treatments using the latest in medical aesthetics to help you achieve clear, radiant skin.
Dark marks left behind after acne, eczema or skin injuries.
Often triggered by hormones (pregnancy, birth control or sun exposure). Here, melasma appears as symmetrical brown or grey-brown patches, typically on the face.
Flat brown spots that develop from years of sun exposure are commonly seen on the face, chest and hands.
Genetically driven, often darkening with sun exposure.
Can result from certain medications or chemical exposure.
This soothing treatment features a professional chemical peel that gently lifts away dead skin
cells, revealing a brighter, more even-toned complexion. Using advanced Mesoestetic PRO and MD
Peels, we specifically target hyperpigmentation by addressing excess melanin in the skin.
Powered by key ingredients such as azelaic acid, kojic acid and resorcinol, these peels exfoliate,
refine skin tone and diminish dark spots from sun exposure, melasma and post-inflammatory pigmentation

Mesoestetic PRO and MD Peels are specially formulated to treat hyperpigmentation by targeting
excess melanin in the skin. These professional-grade peels use powerful ingredients like azelaic
acid, kojic acid, tranexamic acid, retinol and resorcinol to exfoliate, even out skin tone and
reduce dark spots caused by sun damage, melasma or post-inflammatory pigmentation. By accelerating
cell turnover and inhibiting melanin production, the result is smoother, clearer and more radiant skin.

in all skin types, especially darker skin tones. It effectively treats melasma, sun damage and

Medical Needling (also known as microneedling) uses fine needles to create controlled micro-channels
in the skin. This process encourages skin renewal and allows brightening serums, such as tranexamic
acid, to penetrate more effectively. By targeting sun spots, melasma and post-inflammatory marks,
the treatment helps achieve a clearer, smoother and more even-toned complexion on the face and neck.

Exosome Needling delivers tiny vesicles packed with powerful messengers that help balance melanin
production and calm inflammation. This targeted action works to fade hyperpigmentation, even out
skin tone, and restore a brighter, more radiant complexion.

Time: 120 minutes
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) treatment uses your own blood’s platelets, which are packed with growth
factors that stimulate skin healing and regeneration. When applied to the skin, PRP accelerates cell
turnover, reduces inflammation and promotes collagen production. This helps fade hyperpigmentation
by balancing melanin production and repairing damaged skin, resulting in a clearer, brighter and more
even complexion.

Time: 120 minutes
3D Needling combined with Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) enhances the skin’s natural healing and
rejuvenation process. The microneedling creates controlled micro-injuries that stimulate collagen
production and skin renewal, while PRF - rich in growth factors and healing proteins - boosts tissue
repair and reduces inflammation. This powerful combination helps fade hyperpigmentation by promoting
balanced melanin production.

Lumecca IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) is an advanced light-based treatment that targets areas of
excess melanin - the pigment responsible for dark spots and uneven skin tone. The device emits
powerful, broad-spectrum light pulses that penetrate the skin and selectively heat pigmented cells,
breaking them down without damaging surrounding tissue. This process triggers the body’s natural
healing response to clear away the fragmented pigment.

Mesotherapy is a minimally invasive treatment that delivers targeted skin-brightening ingredients,
such as tranexamic acid, directly into the middle layer of the skin using fine microinjections.
This approach helps inhibit excess melanin production, reducing dark spots, melasma and post-inflammatory
marks. By improving the penetration of active ingredients, mesotherapy works to fade hyperpigmentation
and reveal a clearer, more radiant and evenly toned complexion.

Tri-Therapy targets hyperpigmentation on multiple levels by combining a chemical peel, superficial
needling with brightening actives, and a specialized post-treatment mask. The peel exfoliates
and removes pigmented skin cells, while needling enhances the absorption of active ingredients
that reduce melanin production. The final mask calms the skin and supports ongoing brightening.

The CLAI Glass Skin Facial is an advanced combination treatment designed to improve the skin from multiple levels in a single treatment session.
Rather than focusing on only one concern, we combine IPL, Morpheus8 RF microneedling and superficial microneedling with your own PRP to target pigmentation, skin texture, pores, collagen production and overall skin quality.
How the treatment works
IPL = Tone & Clarity
IPL targets unwanted pigmentation, helping to create a clearer, brighter and more even-looking complexion.
Morpheus8 = Firm & Remodel
Morpheus8 combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy to stimulate collagen and elastin within the deeper layers of the skin. This helps improve firmness, fine lines, enlarged pores and uneven texture.
Superficial Microneedling + PRP = Repair & Refine
We finish with controlled superficial microneedling combined with Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) derived from your own blood. This supports the skin's natural repair processes while helping improve hydration, texture and overall skin quality.
Why combine all three?
Each technology works at a different level of the skin.
The CLAI Glass Skin Touch is an advanced combination treatment designed to improve skin tone, texture, firmness and overall skin quality.
This treatment combines a carefully selected superficial chemical peel, targeted Morpheus8 and superficial microneedling with PRP, allowing us to work at different levels of the skin within one treatment.
It is particularly suited to skin where we want to focus on uneven tone, texture and overall rejuvenation.
The Treatment
RESURFACE — Professional Peel
We begin with a carefully selected superficial chemical peel to gently refresh the skin and encourage a brighter, smoother complexion.
TIGHTEN — Morpheus8
Morpheus8 is used strategically, focusing predominantly on the lower face where tightening and collagen remodelling are needed most.
Radiofrequency energy is delivered into the deeper layers of the skin to stimulate collagen and improve firmness, definition and skin laxity.
RENEW — Superficial Microneedling + PRP
We finish with superficial microneedling combined with your own Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP).
This final step focuses on overall skin quality, helping to support natural regeneration while refining texture and creating a healthier, more luminous appearance.
