Genevieve has has a track record of effectively treating hyperpigmentation with a high safety profile in leading aesthetic and dermatology clinics. Her trusted approach involves correcting the causes of hyperpigmentation conditions, for long-lasting results.
Pigmentation 'removal' treatments where the skin has not been properly prepared and safely treated, often leaves clients frustrated with rebound pigmentation and adverse outcomes. This is avoided at TDOC with a treatment approach trusted and used by Australia's leading aesthetic clinicians, nurses and dermatologists.
Genevieve also offers safe and effective treatments for hypopigmentation (reduction in pigment) and depigmentation.
During your consultation, you will receive a detailed skin assessment and a plan tailored to achieving your skin goals.

TDOC does not perform skin cancer screening or treatments.
Hyperpigmentation and sun damaged skin are common in our harsh climate. Many factors contribute to how hyperpigmentation develops and how it is best treated.
At TDOC, medical-grade pigmentation therapies not only treat the pigmentation that you can see now, but correct the skin's function to make it more resilient against developing hyperpigmentation in the future.
Melasma is an inflammatory skin condition which leads to patches grey to dark brown pigmentation by which it is commonly identified. Unlike sun spots and sun damaged skin, melasma develops primarily in response to hormonal changes and inflammation within the skin. It involves compromised skin function as well as inflammation of the skin's blood vessels.
Appropriate treatments for melasma are dependant on several factors, including if the condition is stable or active. Genevieve Topalov takes a staged treatment approach to correct skin dysfunction and minimise the risk of rebound pigmentation, for lasting results from melasma treatments.
Injury and inflammatory skin conditions, such as acne, can cause dark spots and patches to develop. This is known as post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH). PIH typically develops in conjunction with scarring and skin changes such as dryness and sensitivity.
Our approach achieves excellent results in all skin types, with minimal risk of adverse outcomes. A wholistic skin approach is taken to halt the development of more pigmentation, and minimise PIH and scarring to improve both skin tone and texture. Genevieve can help you achieve a beautifully balanced complexion with lasting results.
A decrease in pigmentation (hypopigmentation) is common after skin injuries and in conditions which reduce the number of pigment-producing cells in the skin. This is often mistaken for depigmentation which sees the complete absence of pigment-producing cells in the affected skin, such as in vitiligo. TDOC offers advanced therapies for both hypopigmentation and depigmentation.
Who should you trust to treat your hyperpigmentation?
Pigmentation treatments can be safe and effective. Laser and IPL treatments may, however, remove the visible evidence of a skin cancer, making it undetectable. If you are receiving beauty treatments by a practitioner/therapist not trained in identifying skin cancers, you may be at increased risk for delayed detection of skin cancers.
TDOC offers safe and effective protocols for treating and preventing further hyperpigmentation.
