Skin Pigmentation

The amount of pigment or melanin produced in the skin is a result of genetic factors as a natural way of protecting against UV light. However, skin pigmentation problems can often occur due to sun damage over the years or hormonal changes. A change in pigmentation or dark patches, commonly known as hyperpigmentation, can make the tone of the face appear uneven.

Laser skin treatments as the Re-Define Photofacial which involve the unique use of IPL or Laser Skin Resurfacing can be used to treat hyperpigmentation, penetrating the superficial layers of skin to treat the deepest layers for targeted treatments. Microneedling can also be used to stimulate collagen production and kick-start the healing process. Additionally prescription based skincare products can also target areas of pigmentation.
