Hyperpigmentation treatments can dramatically improve your skin’s tone and texture — fading dark spots, balancing discolouration, and restoring radiance. But achieving great results is only half the journey. The real secret lies in maintaining those results through consistent skincare, protection, and healthy habits.
At Fleek Aesthetics Manchester, our care doesn’t stop when your treatment ends. We provide ongoing guidance to help you protect your investment and enjoy long-lasting, glowing skin.
Why Maintenance Matters
Even after professional treatment, pigmentation can return if your skin is exposed to triggers such as sun damage, hormonal fluctuations, or inflammation. Newly treated skin is more even but also more sensitive. Maintenance is about preserving the fresh, healthy complexion you’ve achieved — and preventing pigment from resurfacing.
1️⃣ Protect Your Skin from the Sun
UV exposure is the biggest cause of pigmentation relapse. The sun stimulates melanin production, deepening old spots and forming new ones.
Tips for daily protection:
- Apply broad-spectrum SPF 30+ every day — even in cloudy weather.
- Reapply every 2–3 hours when outdoors.
- Use hats or sunglasses for added coverage.
☀️ Consistent sunscreen use alone can extend your results for months or even years.
2️⃣ Keep a Gentle Skincare Routine
Post-treatment, your skin barrier needs calm, hydration, and protection. Avoid harsh scrubs, alcohol toners, or aggressive acids that can trigger inflammation.
Use:
- A mild cleanser to remove impurities.
- A hydrating serum (like hyaluronic acid or niacinamide).
- A moisturiser to lock in hydration.
✨ Consistency over intensity — gentle routines keep your skin balanced.
3️⃣ Maintain Brightening at Home
After professional treatment, use dermatologist-approved brightening products to prevent new pigmentation. Key ingredients include:
- Vitamin C – boosts radiance.
- Arbutin & Kojic Acid – gently inhibit excess melanin.
- Liquorice Extract – soothes and brightens.
Always follow your practitioner’s guidance to avoid irritation.
4️⃣ Continue with Maintenance Treatments
Professional top-ups keep your complexion luminous and healthy. Depending on your results, we may recommend:
- Gentle brightening facials for glow renewal.
- Light chemical peels or laser touch-ups for stubborn spots.
- Hydration boosters to enhance smoothness and elasticity.
At Fleek Aesthetics Manchester, we tailor every maintenance plan to your individual needs and skin tone.
5️⃣ Avoid Touching or Picking
Picking at acne or healing spots can lead to post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH). Let your skin heal naturally — patience always pays off with clearer, smoother results.
6️⃣ Support Your Skin from Within
Your lifestyle directly affects your complexion. Maintain your glow by:
- Eating antioxidant-rich foods (fruits, leafy greens, nuts).
- Drinking plenty of water daily.
- Getting adequate sleep and managing stress levels.
🌿 Healthy skin starts with a healthy lifestyle.
