Pigmentation refers to any discoloration on the skin, including dark spots, sunspots, melasma, or uneven skin tone. Excess melanin is produced due to factors such as sun exposure, hormonal changes, genetics, and inflammation (like from acne). Pigmentation can give the skin an uneven, older-looking complexion, with dark patches that stand out against the surrounding skin. Treating pigmentation often involves targeting melanin production and encouraging an even distribution across the skin.
We personalise skincare to suit your unique needs, using prescription skincare when necessary to effectively target concerns like pigmentation and melasma. Our tailored approach ensures optimal results, helping to even skin tone and enhance overall skin health.
