At Face Foundry, we recognise that hyperpigmentation, uneven skin tone, and enlarged pores are common concerns for many of our patients. These issues can be caused by various factors, including sun exposure, aging, hormonal changes, and environmental stressors.

Sun Damage and Its Effects

Excessive sun exposure is a primary cause of hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone, particularly in our harsh WA climate. UV rays stimulate melanin production, which can lead to age spots and an uneven complexion. Even with diligent sun protection, some signs of sun damage may still develop over time.

It's important to note that UVA rays can penetrate glass, contributing to premature aging and skin damage even when you're indoors. Additionally, UV exposure can cause skin inflammation, making pores appear larger.

Other Factors Contributing to Skin Concerns

While sun damage is a significant factor, other elements can affect your skin's appearance:

• Crow's feet around the Aging: Loss of skin elasticity can make pores appear larger and contribute to uneven texture.
• Forehead Pollution: Environmental pollutants can be absorbed by the skin, potentially leading to dark spots, especially on the face.
• Smile lines around the Hormonal changes: These can increase oil production, enlarging pores, and affect melanin production, causing uneven pigmentation.
• Skincare products: Some ingredients, like soy, can influence skin pigmentation.

At Face Foundry, we offer advanced treatments like Secret RF and Cosmelan to address these concerns effectively. Our expert team will assess your unique skin needs and recommend a personalised treatment plan to help you achieve a more even, radiant complexion.
