Pigmentation can be defined as the colouration of the skin. Our body contains a pigment called melanin which determines the colour of our skin, hair and eyes. Darker skin types will have more melanin in their skin cells than those with lighter skin.
When skin cells are healthy, your skin will appear normal and even. However, when skin cells become damaged or unhealthy, extra melanin is produced to help protect your skin. Alternatively, the cells that produce pigment can be damaged, which prevents melanin production. As a result, parts of your skin may turn lighter or darker, both of which are recognisable skin conditions.
Types of Skin conditions that we can treat include:
- Age spots
- Sun Spots
- Freckles
- Liver Spots
- Keratosis
- Melasma
- General unevenness of skin colour
- Lentigines
- Birthmarks
The treatment leaves the skin with a lighter, brighter even skin tone with natural looking results.
Our most common treatment is Facial Pigmentation Laser .
