Get Rid Of Stubborn Dark Patches Across Your Skin
Pigmentation manifests as irregular patches on the skin that appear darker than the surrounding areas. This can be attributed to various factors including sun exposure, hormonal changes, genetics, and ageing.
There are various factors that can cause skin pigmentation. Here are the most common causes:
Melasma is a type of skin condition often characterised by brown or blue-grey spots. It is more common in women and can be related to hormonal changes.
Freckles, characterised by small, flat, brown spots on the skin, typically appear in sun-exposed areas. They are a benign form of pigmentation mainly induced by sun exposure, particularly in individuals with fair skin or a hereditary inclination.
(Post-Inflammatory Erythema) Flat, brown spots on the skin, known as solar lentigines or sun spots, are associated with the ageing process and prolonged exposure to sunlight. The affected areas may display a darker hue when compared to the surrounding skin, varying from light brown to black.
Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation, often referred to as PIH, is a type of skin discoloration that arises subsequent to an inflammatory incident, such as acne, burns, or other forms of skin trauma. It is identified by the presence of darkened patches or spots on the skin.
Hori’s Nevus is characterised by a unique form of pigmentation, presenting as a bluish-grey discoloration on the skin, frequently occurring symmetrically on both sides of the face. It tends to be prevalent in women and individuals with Asian heritage.
Nevus of Ota is a bluish or greyish pigmentation condition affecting both the skin and the eyes. It is characterised by an excess of melanocytes, the cells responsible for determining skin colour. It’s generally present from birth and can develop further in life.
Pigmentation can cause several issues such as insecurities and discomfort to oneself. At Glowwis, we offer a variety of pigmentation removal treatment options based on your own unique skin condition and concerns.
Glowwis signature treatment, the 3D PICO Glow, is a specialised treatment that utilises two lasers alongside a microneedle RF. The treatment is performed by Dr. Sam to effectively address the appearance of pigmentation, melasma, acne scars, and enlarged pores, revealing a rejuvenated and revitalised skin texture.
The Pico Laser employs advanced laser technology for a range of skin treatments. It functions by emitting brief bursts of laser energy to target pigmentation, scars, and other skin issues. Through its capacity to address pigmentation at a deeper level, it aids in balancing and enhancing skin tone.
Employing rapid, high-energy pulses, the Q Switch Laser is a valuable tool for pigmentation and tattoo removal, as well as for treating various skin pigmentation conditions. Its targeting of melanin pigments in the skin enables it to effectively address issues like melasma and age spots without impacting the surrounding areas.
Incorporating micro-needling with radiofrequency energy, the Gold Plated Micro Needle RF treatment utilises gold-plated needles to permeate the skin, administering RF energy that spurs collagen generation. This method is utilised to refine skin texture, diminish scars, and bolster skin rejuvenation. Its notable attribute is the minimal downtime it involves.
The enhancement in skin hydration, elasticity, and overall skin texture from Collagen skin booster helps to improve skin health and appearance, aiding the reduction of pigmentation.
Hyaluronic acid skin booster helps to address skin hydration by helping to attract and retain moisture into the skin, aiding in a plump and hydrated complexion. By promoting the skin’s hydration, it may contribute to a healthier appearance, reducing the visibility of pigmentation.
Within our range of pigmentation removal treatments, we present chemical peels and laser procedures. These methods aim to refine skin texture and combat an assortment of skin pigmentation challenges.
Our signature treatment, Melasma Free, consists of a combination of cosmetic procedures aimed at addressing melasma, a common skin condition characterised by dark and discolored patches on the face. This treatment often involves a multi-modal approach to effectively reduce pigmentation and achieve a more even skin tone.

Treating pigmentation often involves a combination of skincare products, lifestyle changes, and, in some cases, professional treatments. It’s important to note that results can vary, and it may take time to see improvement. Here are some approaches recommended by Dr. Sam to treat pigmentation:
If your pigmentation is related to specific triggers such as certain skincare products or hormonal changes, try to avoid or manage these triggers.
Prescription retinoids, like tretinoin, can promote cell turnover and improve the appearance of pigmented skin. They should be used under the guidance of a dermatologist.
Protecting your skin from the sun is important in preventing and managing pigmentation. Avoid direct sun exposure as much as possible, and always apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with a high SPF to protect your skin from harmful UV rays.
If you notice persistent or worsening pigmentation, consult a qualified healthcare professional for a personalised assessment and treatment plan.

Joann S2024-04-16Dr Sam listened patiently to my concerns and is detailed in explaining the different types of options I can chose for my concerns. Their numbing cream works fast and well- about 10-15min and I’m ready for the laser. Did not experience any pain during the pico and curas laser. Within 30 min, I’m ready to go. Staff is friendly and accommodating! Thumbs up ??
Jennifer Ghiam2024-04-12Dr Sam is a very friendly and honest doctor. He shared detailed of my skin problems patiently and offered solutions that suit my budget. I also did the pick and curos laser that helps pigmentation and tighten skin. Totally painless under his hands. Highly recommended.
Joeis Tan2024-04-12This was my very first time to an aesthetic clinic. I was first greeted by very friendly and cheerful staff when I entered the clinic. Dr Sam attended to me and I must say I’m so pleased with the whole experience! He rightfully pointed out my key areas of concern, and was very patient in explaining in detail the options available for me to treat those concerns I have. I was always hesitant about visiting aesthetic clinics as I have the impression that aesthetic clinics are all about hard selling but I was proven wrong here. Dr Sam presented me the available options I have and asked for me to think through before deciding. After careful consideration, I decided to go for all 3 laser treatments available (Pico laser, Q switch laser and CO2 laser) to tackle the pigmentation and dullness on my skin. The treatment process was absolutely pleasant - I was pretty nervous that the laser treatments would hurt but thankfully, Dr Sam was really skillful and professional that it didn’t even hurt a bit nor cause any discomfort. The initial results were pretty assuring - minimal redness and no swelling. I’m looking forward to witness the final results a couple of days later!
