PhytoPigment

Fades spots and brightens skin tone by targeting stubborn pigmentation at its root.

24 min read

What is PhytoPigment

PhytoPigment™ is an advanced plant-tech protocol clinically developed to manage hyperpigmentation at its source. It fades stubborn melanin clusters, regulates pigment-producing enzymes, and uses non-invasive technologies to reduce discolouration, prevent recurrence, and restore clarity without lasers, bleaching agents or rebound sensitivity.

How It Works

PhytoPigment™ uses a layered, non-invasive sequence to fade and regulate pigmentation at its root for lasting results without irritation, burns or rebound. Friendly on sensitive and pregnancy skin.
icon
Dermal Purification
In-house ultrasonic technology clears dull cells, debris, and pollutants. It conditions a supple, permeable skin canvas for active absorption, boosting uptake by more than 87% without added irritation.
icon
Percutaneous Delivery
Patented painless transdermal infusion delivers lightening actives deep into the skin, enhancing absorption by up to 400% while avoiding the risk of burns linked to laser treatments, and heightened sensitivity.
icon
Melanin Modulation*
In-house multipolar RF with plasma creates micro-channels that deliver tyrosinase-inhibiting botanicals deep into the epidermis, to regulate and rebalance excess melanin production at its root.
*
Performed exclusively in PhytoPigment™ Ultra by certified skincare specialist.
icon
Cellular Recalibration
Clinically optimised light therapy rebalances tone by calming melanocyte activity, reducing inflammation by 70%, pigment by at least 45%, and vascular reactivity by at least 60% in melanin-prone skin.
icon
Epidermal Renewal
Over 300,000 patented biocompatible phyto-spicules lighten spots without peeling, stimulate skin turnover, refine texture, boost cellular renewal, and break up pigment clusters without irritation or downtime.
icon
Lightening Delivery
A customised in-house botanical complex targets further spot lightening and discolouration using proven regulators and antioxidants, improving clarity by up to 87% over a clinical cycle.
icon
Pigment Correction
A prescriptive botanical mask with pigment-balancing actives and calming hydrators reduces redness, supports recovery, and seals in sustainable clarity while nourishing the skin with youthful nutrients.
icon
Clarity Continuity*
Clients follow a personalised regimen with pigment-corrective actives and melanin regulators to prevent skin darkening and support long-term tone stability and radiance without steroids or bleaching.
*
Supportive skincare sold separately.
icon
Progressive Clarity
Each session progressively fades stubborn pigment and strengthens the skin cells’ ability to maintain clarity. Supports even skin tone, visible brightness and a healthy barrier without lasers, bleaching or harsh peels.

Before & After

Melasma ( Hormonal )

Brown patches on cheeks, forehead, or upper lip caused by hormones, sun, or pregnancy. Often deep, stubborn, and slow to respond to brightening care.

Pigment fades progressively and tone evens out. Skin looks clearer, brighter, and less reactive with visible improvement over 3 to 5 sessions.

Sunspots & Freckles

Freckles and brown spots from prolonged sun exposure, often on the cheeks, temples, and nose. Discolouration builds gradually with time.

Spots fade steadily and tone evens out. Skin appears visibly brighter, smoother, and more balanced with clearer results after 3 to 4 sessions.

Post-Acne Marks ( PIH )

Red or brown spots left by inflammation or picking, often appearing in acne-prone areas and more visible on fair or sensitive skin.

Pigmentation fades and redness eases. Skin looks calmer, clearer, and more balanced with visible tone improvement after 3 sessions.

Laser-Induced Spots

Patchy dark marks that form after lasers or peels, especially in melanin-rich or reactive skin, and often stubborn to fade.

Pigment lightens and sensitivity reduces. Tone looks more even and skin appears healthier after 4 consistent sessions.
