Pigmentation Melasma Dark marks
Hyperpigmentation Treatment in Nairobi
Dark spots, uneven skin tone and stubborn pigmentation don’t all have the same cause.
At Vital Skin Kenya, we assess your pigmentation first, then create a treatment plan based on your skin, the type of pigmentation and what may be triggering it.

DARK MARKS CAN LOOK SIMILAR
THEIR CAUSES CAN BE COMPLETELY DIFFERENT.
Understanding the type of pigmentation you have is the first step in treating it effectively and preventing it from coming back.
POST-INFLAMMATORY HYPERPIGMENTATION
Dark marks left behind after inflammation or injury to the skin, commonly following acne.
MELASMA
Patchy pigmentation often appearing across the cheeks, forehead or upper lip and influenced by multiple factors including hormones and sun exposure.
UNEVEN SKIN TONE
Areas of discoloration or dullness that make the complexion appear uneven.
POST-INFLAMMATORY ERYTHEMA (PIE)
Red, pink or reddish-purple marks that remain after acne or inflammation has healed, caused by changes to small blood vessels near the skin’s surface.
The Vital Skin Difference
Pigmentation treatment shouldn't begin with a peel.
It should begin with an assessment.
Every skin has a story. Our approach is intentional, step by step and designed to treat your skin, not just the dark marks.
01. Assess
We examine your pigmentation pattern, skin history, current products and possible triggers.
02. Prepare
Where necessary, we work on the skin barrier and homecare before beginning more intensive treatment.
03. Treat
Your treatment plan may combine professional procedures with targeted skincare rather than relying on one treatment.
04. Maintain
Pigmentation can recur. Sun protection, appropriate homecare and maintenance are part of achieving longer-term control.
Our approach is gentle, strategic and results driven
We treat the cause, support your skin and help you achieve real, lasting improvements.
Treatment Options
01. Microneedling
Supports skin renewal and can be incorporated into treatment plans for pigmentation, texture and post-acne concerns.
02. Pepinfusion
A controlled microinfusion treatment used to deliver selected ingredients superficially into the skin with minimal downtime.
03. Chemical Peels
Carefully selected professional peels can support controlled exfoliation and improvement in uneven pigmentation.
04. Hydra-Dermabrasion
A combination facial that offers exfoliation, extraction and infusion of tyrosinase inhibitors to brighten the skin
THE REALITY CHECK
Pigmentation rarely disappears overnight.
Some pigmentation responds relatively quickly. Other conditions—particularly melasma and long-standing post-inflammatory pigmentation—can require several months of consistent treatment and homecare.
Our goal isn't to promise perfect skin.
It's to create a treatment strategy that improves pigmentation while protecting the health of your skin.
FAQ
How many sessions will I need?
There isn't one number for every pigmentation concern. Your treatment frequency depends on the type, severity, skin response and treatment plan recommended during your assessment.
Can hyperpigmentation come back?
Yes. Some forms of pigmentation can recur, particularly when triggers such as sun exposure, inflammation or hormonal influences remain present. Maintenance and daily sun protection are therefore important.
Can you treat melasma?
We can assess melasma and create a management-focused treatment plan where appropriate. Melasma is a complex and recurrent pigmentation condition, so treatment focuses on improvement and long-term management rather than promising a permanent cure.
Are these treatments suitable for dark skin?
Treatment selection and intensity matter enormously in melanated skin. Our approach prioritises controlled treatment and reducing unnecessary inflammation that could worsen pigmentation.
Do I need skincare products as well?
Often, yes. Professional procedures alone may not address everything contributing to pigmentation. Appropriate homecare can form an important part of your treatment plan.
