Struggling with stubborn pigmentation like melasma? At Natural Aesthetics, we offer a proven solution to tackle hormonal pigmentation and uneven skin tone: our Hydroquinone Treatment Protocol. This treatment is designed to help you achieve a glowing, even complexion while being guided every step of the way by our expert team.
Stubborn pigmentation refers to dark patches or spots on the skin that don’t fade easily, often caused by overactive melanin production due to sun exposure, hormonal changes, or inflammation.
Melasma is one of the most common types of pigmentation. It typically appears as brown or greyish patches on the cheeks, forehead, nose, or chin. Often triggered by hormonal changes during pregnancy, birth control use, or even stress, melasma can be tough to treat without professional help.
At Natural Aesthetics, we understand how challenging it can be to manage pigmentation. That’s why we’ve created the Hydroquinone Protocol—a medical-grade solution that delivers real, lasting results.
Book your Hydroquinone Treatment Protocol today and start your journey to radiant, even-toned skin. Natural Aesthetics clinics are conveniently located in Green Point, Tyger Valley, or Somerset West.
