Struggling with pigmentation, melasma, or uneven skin tone?
I am a Consultant Dermatologist specialising in the treatment of hyperpigmentation in Asian and skin of colour. I provide personalised treatment plans using medical therapies and advanced laser treatments, with a strong focus on safety and long-term results.
Why pigmentation is more complex in Asian skin
Pigmentation conditions such as melasma and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation are more common — and often more difficult to treat — in darker skin types.
Incorrect treatments, particularly inappropriate laser use, can worsen pigmentation.
Specialist expertise is essential to:
Avoid complications
Choose appropriate treatments
Achieve natural, even skin tone

FAQ:
Is laser safe for Asian skin?
Yes — when used appropriately. Incorrect settings or devices can worsen pigmentation, so specialist expertise is important.
Does melasma go away permanently?
Melasma is a chronic condition that can be controlled but may recur. Maintenance treatment is often required.
How many treatments will I need?
This varies depending on the condition and severity. Many patients require a combination approach over several months.
Do I need a referral?
No — private consultations can be booked directly.
