Energy-based treatments interact with pigment differently depending on skin type, wavelength, pulse duration and thermal delivery. When the wrong device is used or when energy is delivered too aggressively, the result is not faster improvement; it is frequently hyper- or hypopigmentation.

Post-Inflammatory Pigmentation After Trauma: What to Watch For

Post-inflammatory pigmentation after trauma is a biological response causing the production of excess melanin.

Please note the following points before proceeding to the booking site:

For new patients making their first booking please note that your card will be charged £150 for the initial consultation fee to be processed.
For more information about our specific treatment charges please see our pricing guide or get in touch.
Following a consultation appointment with a doctor, if you choose to undergo treatment within three months of the original consultation, the £150 consultation fee is redeemable against the cost of treatment and will be held on your patient account.
For our existing patients, your card details will be captured at the point of booking and are held on your patient file but no charges will be applied except in the event of a late-cancellation or no-show (see below).
The Lovely Clinic’s Cancellation & Rescheduling Policy applies to all appointments which are cancelled or rescheduled with less than 48 hours notice. All such cancellations or rescheduling will incur a cancellation fee of £150. This charge will be levied against the card details taken at the time of booking and no further appointments will be arranged until the cancellation charge has been settled. For appointments lasting 60 minutes or longer, we require a minimum of 96 hours notice, and the charge is £300.
If you arrive more than 10 minutes late for your appointment, we reserve the right to cancel the appointment and charge the late-cancellation fee of £150 to avoid unfair impact on our other patients.
Certain services - such as Sculptra®, Lanluma® and Desirial® - will require payment in full prior to booking.
Packages, once commenced and the first service is taken, are strictly non-refundable. If a package is cancelled prior to commencement, the cancellation must be received within 48 hours of the first appointment, otherwise a cancellation fee of £150 will be incurred.
Botulinum toxin review appointments must be taken within four weeks of the original appointment. Any other timescale must be agreed with the clinic by prior arrangement.
Payment rendered is for the services performed only and no guarantee is given regarding any specific outcomes.
New patients are seen for consultation and assessment. In order to comply with General Medical Council guidelines, in exceptional circumstances, certain treatments may be carried out on the day of consultation at the agreement of the patient and clinician. More invasive treatments must be scheduled for an appointment at a later date. There is an option for an online consultation should you be travelling a long distance.
Treatment is granted at the discretion of the clinician. No guarantee is given that treatment will be provided for a service booked online as it may be unsuitable.
Your card details will be securely stored on our payment system for your convenience. This information can be removed at any time upon on request.
