Pigmentation & Inflammation Panel
Find out what's driving pigmentation and uneven tone.
from $159What this test is
Pigmentation and redness are often linked to inflammation, sun exposure history and hormonal signalling, not just what's happening on the surface. This panel checks the internal drivers before you commit to a pigment-focused treatment plan.
Is this test for you?
- You have melasma or patches of uneven pigmentation
- You're dealing with post-inflammatory marks after acne or injury
- You're planning a laser or peel treatment and want the timing right
What we test
A general marker of inflammation, which can worsen pigmentation and slow it fading.
Plays a role in skin immune balance and healing.
Hormonal shifts, including pregnancy and the pill, are strongly linked to melasma.
Thyroid imbalance can show up as changes in skin tone and texture.
Both low and high iron can affect how skin looks and heals.

After your results
A clinician reads every marker against your age, symptoms and goals, then writes a plain-language report with a protocol you can act on. If treatment is recommended, your results travel with you to a certified Aesthetics BioCare provider, so nothing needs re-explaining.
