Pigmentation & Melasma
Target Uneven Pigmentation. Restore a More Even-Looking Complexion
When pigmentation changes the way your skin looks, a personalised approach matters.
Pigmentation can appear in many forms – from sun spots and uneven skin tone to melasma and areas of persistent discolouration. Melasma in particular can be complex and recurring, often influenced by factors such as UV exposure, hormones and heat. Treating pigmentation isn’t simply about removing colour; it is about understanding why it has developed and creating a treatment plan that helps improve the appearance of the skin while supporting long-term management.
At Mira Story Aesthetics, our SYLFIRM X Pigmentation & Melasma Protocol combines targeted RF microneedling technology with a personalised approach to pigmentation management. Your clinician will assess your skin, the type and distribution of pigmentation, and your individual concerns before recommending the most appropriate treatment programme.

Target Pigmentation. Support Healthier-Looking Skin.
The SYLFIRM X Pigmentation & Melasma Protocol is a tailored RF microneedling treatment designed to address pigmentation concerns while also supporting overall skin quality.
SYLFIRM X combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy, allowing treatment to target selected areas of the skin while stimulating collagen. The protocol can be incorporated into a broader approach to managing melasma and uneven pigmentation, with treatment intensity and course recommendations adapted to your individual skin.
Investment
The appropriate treatment course is determined following individual skin assessment. Pigmentation and melasma can be persistent or recurrent, so ongoing skincare and sun protection may also be recommended.
A Personalised Approach to Pigmentation
Melasma
Melasma typically appears as areas of brown or grey-brown pigmentation, commonly across the cheeks, forehead, upper lip and other areas of the face. Because melasma can be influenced by multiple factors, treatment is approached carefully and as part of a longer-term management strategy.
Uneven Skin Tone
Sunexposure, ageing and previous skin inflammation can contribute to uneven pigmentation. Treatment can help improve the appearance of discolouration and create a more uniform-looking complexion.
Sun-Related Pigmentation
Areas of pigmentation caused by cumulative sun exposure can become increasingly visible over time. Your clinician will assess the pigmentation to determine whether SYLFIRM X is an appropriate treatment option.
Pigmentation Needs Precision - Not Aggression.
Pigmentation can be one of the more challenging aesthetic concerns to treat, particularly when melasma is involved. Overly aggressive treatment can sometimes aggravate pigmentation rather than improve it, which is why understanding your skin and choosing an appropriate treatment intensity is essential.
At Mira Story Aesthetics, we take a measured approach to pigmentation. Your clinician assesses the pattern, depth and type of pigmentation alongside your overall skin condition before recommending a treatment plan. The focus is not simply on making pigmentation disappear quickly, but on improving the appearance of your complexion while supporting long-term skin health.
Your Patient Journey
Your Consultation
Your journey begins with a detailed skin assessment. Your clinician examines the pigmentation, considers its pattern and appearance, and discusses your skincare routine, lifestyle and treatment goals. This allows us to determine whether SYLFIRM X is appropriate and whether a single treatment or course would be more suitable.
Your Treatment
SYLFIRM X uses fine microneedles to deliver radiofrequency energy into selected depths of the skin. Treatment parameters are adjusted according to your skin type, pigmentation concerns, and treatment area. The procedure may cause warmth or a prickling sensation, but comfort is monitored throughout.2
Your Aftercare
Temporary redness, warmth, sensitivity and mild swelling can occur following treatment. Your skin may also feel tight or appear slightly flushed for a short period. Your clinician will provide detailed aftercare and skincare guidance, including appropriate sun protection, which is particularly important when managing pigmentation.
Pigmentation & Melasma FAQ
What is the SYLFIRM X Pigmentation & Melasma Protocol?
It is a tailored treatment protocol using SYLFIRM X RF microneedling to address the appearance of pigmentation and melasma while also supporting skin rejuvenation and collagen stimulation.
What is SYLFIRM X?
SYLFIRM X is an RF microneedling system that combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy. It can be used to address a range of skin concerns, including pigmentation, uneven tone, texture and signs of ageing.
Can SYLFIRM X treat melasma?
SYLFIRM X may be incorporated into a personalised treatment approach for melasma. However, melasma can be complex and recurrent, so treatment needs to be carefully tailored and combined with appropriate skincare and sun protection.
Can melasmabepermanently removed?
Melasma can be persistent and may return even after successful treatment. The aim is to improve its appearance and manage recurrence rather than promise permanent removal.
What types of pigmentation can be treated?
Depending on the individual case, treatment may be considered for melasma, uneven skin tone, sun-related pigmentation and some forms of post-inflammatory pigmentation. Your clinician will first assess the pigmentation to determine the most appropriate approach.
How much does the treatment cost?
- Single Session — £399
- Course of 3 — £1,050
- Course of 5 — £1,699
Should I have one treatment or a course?
Pigmentation often responds progressively rather than after one session. A course may be recommended where pigmentation is more established or widespread. Your clinician will advise based on your skin and goals.
When will I see results?
Results develop progressively as the skin responds to treatment and remodels. The number of sessions required and the speed of improvement vary depending on the type and depth of pigmentation.
Will my pigmentation come back?
Pigmentation, particularly melasma, can recur. UV exposure, heat, hormonal changes and other triggers can contribute to recurrence. Maintaining a consistent skincare and sun-protection routine is an important part of long-term management.
Is SYLFIRM Xpainful?
You may experience warmth, prickling or brief discomfort during treatment. Comfort measures can be used where appropriate, and your clinician will monitor your comfort throughout
Is there any downtime?
There is some temporary recovery associated with RF microneedling. Redness, warmth, sensitivity and mild swelling can occur after treatment and generally settle over the following days.
Can I wear makeup after treatment?
Your clinician will advise when it is appropriate to resume makeup based on your skin’s response. Following aftercare instructions carefully is particularly important when treating pigmentation.
Can I use my normal skincare after treatment?
Some active skincare ingredients may need to be paused temporarily following treatment. Your clinician will provide personalised instructions on when to restart your usual products.
Can SYLFIRM X improve my skin texture as well?
Yes. In addition to addressing pigmentation concerns, RF microneedling can support collagen production and may improve the appearance of skin texture, fine lines and pores.
Can this treatment be combined with other pigmentation treatments?
Potentially. A comprehensive pigmentation programme may include professional treatments, prescription or medical skincare and daily sun protection. Your clinician will advise on the appropriate combination and timing.
Is pigmentation treatment suitable for all skin types?
Treatment needs to be carefully tailored to your individual skin type and pigmentation concerns. Your clinician will assess your skin before treatment and adjust the protocol accordingly.
Is the SYLFIRM X Pigmentation & Melasma Protocol right for me?
If you’re concerned about melasma, uneven pigmentation, or an uneven-looking complexion, SYLFIRM X may form part of an appropriate treatment plan. A consultation allows your clinician to assess your pigmentation and determine the safest and most effective approach.
