Skin Concerns
Uneven Skin Texture
Rough, bumpy or unrefined skin texture can affect how skin looks and feels, and is often more noticeable in certain lighting or after makeup application. It can develop gradually and is rarely addressed by skincare alone. The right clinical treatment can smooth the surface, refine the skin’s overall quality and restore a more even, polished complexion.
UNDERSTANDING THE CONCERN
What Causes Uneven Skin Texture
Uneven skin texture refers to a roughened, irregular or bumpy skin surface that lacks the smoothness and refinement of healthy skin. It is most commonly caused by a build-up of dead skin cells, damage to the skin’s surface from acne or sun exposure, and a gradual reduction in collagen and elastin that leaves the skin less taut.
Many people with uneven texture also notice that make-up sits unevenly or that their skin looks dull in photographs. It is one of the most common concerns we see in clinic, and it responds well to a range of treatment approaches.

Recommended Treatments
Improving skin texture requires both clearing the surface and stimulating renewal from within. These are the treatments we recommend.
Skin Resurfacing
iPixel fractional ablative laser creates precise micro-channels in the skin to prompt collagen remodelling and reveal a smoother, more refined surface. Results improve progressively over a course of treatment.
