Sun-induced pigmentation, including sunspots and melasma, are common concerns following periods of prolonged sun exposure.

Pigmentation develops when UV and visible light stimulate excessive melanin production in the skin. The type and depth of pigment influence the treatment options that are most appropriate.

Management often involves a combination of approaches, which may include medical-grade peels, prescription therapies or laser treatments, depending on individual assessment. Ongoing sun protection is essential to support long-term results and reduce recurrence.

Every pigmentation concern is different. A professional consultation is important to determine the most suitable approach for your skin.

Post-summer pigmentation and uneven skin tone are common concerns for many individuals.

15% Trichloroacetic Acid (TCA) is a powerful medical-grade peel that works by promoting controlled exfoliation of the skin, encouraging renewal and helping to remove epidermal pigmentation. At this strength, TCA is commonly used to target superficial pigment accumulation, thereby improving skin clarity, luminosity and tone.

Different peel strengths are selected based on skin type, concerns, and treatment goals. 15% TCA is often chosen where pigmentation is the primary focus, particularly when managing sun-induced changes.

All chemical peels at Southern Dermatology are performed following a thorough consultation to assess suitability and ensure a safe, individualised approach.

National Skin Cancer Prevention Month is an important reminder to prioritise regular skin checks and sun protection.

Australia has one of the highest rates of skin cancer globally, largely due to UV exposure. Melanoma, in particular, remains one of the leading causes of cancer-related death in young Australians, despite being highly treatable when detected early.

Skin cancer does not always present clearly. Changes can be subtle, painless, and easy to overlook without professional assessment.

We’re proud to support and their campaign, encouraging a shift away from tanning culture and towards lifelong skin protection.

If you haven’t had your skin checked in the past 12 months, this is your sign.

Acne is a complex inflammatory condition that often requires a long-term, medically-guided approach. In this case, prescription therapies were applied to reduce active breakouts and support skin stability over time.

Treatment plans for acne are highly individual and depend on factors such as age, gender, acne subtype, severity, skin sensitivity, previous therapies and life-stage. Specialised management and monitoring are often required.
