Dark spots, discoloration, and uneven skin tone are some of the most frequent skin issues treated at WeCare Clinic, especially with Malaysia having its warm weather throughout the year. Pigmentation treatment is provided at our clinic located at Ukay Boulevard, Desa Melawati, and Setiawangsa with a proper skin test to determine the real problem before prescribing the right solution.
There are different types of pigmentation and each requires different solutions according to their causes. This is the reason why we do not directly prescribe any treatment before doing a proper skin test.
It is crucial to determine which condition (or their combination) causes your problems, especially with regard to melasma that might get aggravated during some treatment programs.
The tropical climate of Malaysia with its high levels of sunlight throughout the year and high humidity makes pigmentation a common problem faced by people in Kuala Lumpur and the Klang Valley. UV light exposure is one of the main reasons for the development of pigmentation, and if one does not take necessary precautions regarding the sunlight, the pigmentation problem will only get worse.
The treatment procedure is initiated by conducting an elaborate skin analysis to determine your skin type, the particular pigmentation, and the desired outcome from the process. Accordingly, the following treatment options may be recommended depending on the situation:
| Treatment | How It Works |
|---|---|
| Prescription strength topical treatments | Includes the application of retinoids and various prescription strength topical ingredients that treat pigmentation and renew the skin |
| Chemical peels | Involves peeling agents aimed at peeling off skin layers and encouraging regeneration which helps eliminate surface level pigmentation through a series of treatment procedures |
| Needling | Involves causing controlled injuries that prompt natural regeneration of the skin tissue, at times coupled with radiofrequency treatment |
| Laser treatment | Uses laser lights to treat the pigmentations depending on your skin type and the particular pigmentations on your skin |
A customized combination of treatments is recommended to fit your particular pigmentation type, sensitivity of your skin, and the expected outcomes of treatment.

It is known that treatment of pigmentation usually takes some time since the improvement will be seen only gradually with each session; it will not happen immediately. Moreover, melasma is even more stubborn and has the tendency to reoccur if there is further exposure to the sun rays.
In case your pigmentation is new, keeps spreading or looks abnormal, you should consider having it diagnosed instead of treating yourself, since diagnosis plays a major role in determining your treatment method.
