At Fleek Aesthetics Manchester, we understand that every skin tone deserves personalised care — especially when it comes to pigmentation. Black, Asian, and deeper skin tones are uniquely beautiful, but they can also be more prone to hyperpigmentation, melasma, and post-inflammatory marks. These concerns require gentle, expert-led treatment to achieve results safely, without aggravating the skin.
In this guide, we’ll share how our team treats hyperpigmentation in melanin-rich skin, what makes our approach different, and why so many clients trust us to restore a smooth, radiant complexion.
Understanding Hyperpigmentation
Hyperpigmentation occurs when the skin produces excess melanin, resulting in dark patches or uneven skin tone. It can appear after inflammation, hormonal changes, or sun exposure — and it’s especially common in people with naturally darker skin.
Common Causes Include:
- ☀️ Sun exposure — UV rays trigger excess melanin production.
- 💥 Post-inflammatory pigmentation (PIH) — Marks left behind after acne or skin trauma.
- 🔄 Hormonal changes — Such as pregnancy or contraceptive use (melasma).
- 💊 Medication side effects — Certain drugs can stimulate pigmentation.
Since melanin-rich skin has higher pigment levels, it’s more sensitive to irritation and heat — meaning treatments must be precisely controlled and customised.
Our Safe & Effective Approach at Fleek Aesthetics
At Fleek Aesthetics, we combine modern technology with clinical experience to deliver visible, even-toned results — safely. Every treatment plan is designed with your skin tone and history in mind.
1️⃣ Precision Laser or Light Therapy
We use medical-grade laser systems specifically calibrated for darker skin types. These devices target excess melanin while protecting the surrounding tissue, reducing pigmentation gradually and safely.
2️⃣ Gradual Brightening Formulas
Harsh chemical peels can worsen pigmentation in darker tones. Instead, we use gentle brightening solutions enriched with botanical extracts, antioxidants, and mild exfoliants. These formulas correct uneven tone while calming inflammation.
3️⃣ Combination Treatments for Enhanced Results
For deeper or stubborn pigmentation, we may combine multiple methods such as:
- Mild chemical peels
- Microneedling or mesotherapy
- Skin rejuvenation facials
These support collagen renewal and cellular turnover, improving both tone and texture.
4️⃣ Post-Treatment Care & Protection
After every session, we focus on barrier repair and hydration. Clients receive tailored skincare advice and SPF recommendations to maintain results and prevent further darkening.
