Reduce the Appearance of Age Spots & Pigmentation at Sparx Beauty Salon, Winchester
Age spots and uneven pigmentation can develop on the hands, face and décolletage at any age, though they tend to become more noticeable as we get older. Pigmentation can be triggered by a number of factors, including sun exposure, hormonal changes, ageing and skin trauma such as acne scarring. All of these can lead to patches of skin appearing darker or uneven in tone.
The good news is that Sparx Beauty offers a range of effective treatments designed to target all types of skin pigmentation, helping to lighten dark spots and restore a smoother, more even complexion.
To find out how we can help restore a more even skin tone, book a consultation with one of our experienced therapists by calling our Winchester salon on 01962 878979 or book online.

- IllumiFacial® offers a comprehensive approach in a four-step treatment to address uneven tone, redness and dark spots in one session.
- SkinPen microneedling is a safe option for all skin tones, working mechanically rather than through heat. It is particularly suitable for darker skin tones and conditions like melasma.

Medical Grade IPL Laser Treatments for Pigmentation
Our primary treatment for hyperpigmentation and sun spots is Intense Pulsed Light (IPL), using award-winning Lynton Laser technology. The IPL laser delivers precise pulses of light that break down excess melanin beneath the skin's surface.
Following treatment, pigmented areas typically darken slightly over the following days before naturally shedding away, revealing brighter, more even-toned skin beneath. Many clients notice a visible improvement in as little as one to three sessions.
All our laser technicians are trained to the highest standards to ensure your safety and the best possible results.
The illumiFacial® Laser Facial
The Lynton IllumiFacial is a four-step treatment designed to address uneven tone, redness and dark spots. This treatment is one of the most popular at our Winchester clinic amongst clients seeking visible, long-lasting results. The treatment includes:
- Deep Cleanse - to prepare the skin for treatment
- Tri-Fruit Acid Peel - exfoliates dead skin cells and enhances light penetration
- Medical-Grade Lynton IPL - targets melanin and stimulates collagen production
- Hydration & Protection - soothing serums to calm and protect the skin post-treatment
SkinPen Microneedling Treatments for Pigmentation
SkinPen microneedling takes a different approach to fading pigmentation, working through the skin's own natural repair process rather than heat or chemical exfoliation.
Using ultra-fine, medical-grade needles, the treatment creates thousands of controlled micro-channels in the skin, which helps to break up concentrated pockets of melanin and trigger the body's natural healing response. This accelerates cell turnover, allowing pigmented cells to be replaced more quickly with fresh, even-toned skin.
Because SkinPen works mechanically rather than through heat, it also carries a lower risk of triggering further pigmentation, making it a particularly safe option for darker skin tones and conditions such as melasma. Alongside fading discolouration from sun damage, hormonal changes and acne marks, SkinPen also helps to refine overall texture, softening scarring, fine lines and enlarged pores. It's a popular choice at our Winchester aesthetics clinic.
Microdermabrasion Treatments
This mechanical resurfacing treatment uses fine microcrystals to gently strip away dull, dead skin cells from the surface.
It's best suited to mild surface pigmentation, sun-related dullness and light blemish marks, leaving skin looking fresher and more radiant. It's suited to most skin types and will also improve the appearance of scarring, fine lines and open pores.
A course of treatments is recommended for optimum results, although you will see immediate results after just one treatment.
DIBI Milano Skincare & Chemical Peels
During your initial consultation, we use a DIBI Milano Skin Analyser to map out both surface and deeper layers of pigmentation, helping us understand exactly what your skin needs.
From there, we can prescribe the most appropriate treatment for your pigmentation problems. This can include tailored DIBI Milano professional chemical peels, alongside brightening at-home products, including the DIBI Milano White Science range. Specifically formulated to target melanin production, White Science products work alongside your in-clinic treatments to help prevent future pigmentation and maintain a brighter, more even complexion between visits to our Winchester clinic.

FAQs About Pigmentation Treatments
What causes pigmentation?
«Pigmentation can be caused by a number of factors, including sun exposure, hormonal changes, ageing and skin trauma such as acne scarring. These factors can trigger an overproduction of melanin, leading to dark spots or patches of uneven skin tone.
How do I know which pigmentation treatment is right for me?
«Every skin type responds differently to pigmentation, which is why we recommend starting with a consultation at our Winchester clinic. Using a DIBI Milano Skin Analyser, our therapists will assess the depth and cause of your pigmentation and recommend the most suitable treatment, or combination of treatments, based on your skin type and goals.
Is IPL suitable for all skin tones?
«IPL works well for many skin types, though it isn't always suitable for darker skin tones due to the risk of further pigmentation. During your consultation, our team will assess your skin to determine whether IPL, or an alternative treatment such as SkinPen microneedling, would be the safer and more effective option for you.
Will my pigmentation come back after treatment?
«While treatments can significantly reduce the appearance of pigmentation, ongoing sun protection and a consistent skincare routine, including products such as the DIBI Milano White Science range, can help maintain your results and prevent new pigmentation from forming.
Can I combine treatments for better results?
«Yes, many clients benefit from combining treatments, such as IPL with tailored skincare, or microneedling alongside topical brightening actives. Your therapist will discuss whether a combined approach would suit your skin and goals during your consultation.
Is there any downtime after a pigmentation treatment?
«While treatments can significantly reduce the appearance of pigmentation, ongoing sun protection and a consistent skincare routine, including products such as the DIBI Milano White Science range, can help maintain your results and prevent new pigmentation from forming.
