Pigmentation

Hyperpigmentation

Hyperpigmentation is a common condition that occurs when the skin produces excess melanin, resulting in dark patches on the skin. This can be caused by a variety of factors, including sun exposure, hormonal changes, and skin injuries. Our clinic offers a range of treatments to help address hyperpigmentation, including chemical peels, laser therapy, and topical treatments such as hydroquinone, retinoids and oral lightening medications.

Melasma

Melasma is a specific type of hyperpigmentation that is often triggered by hormonal changes, such as those that occur during pregnancy or with the use of certain medications. Melasma can be particularly challenging to treat, but our clinic has experience in managing this condition with a variety of treatments, including topical lightening agents, chemical peels, laser therapy and oral lightening medications

In addition to these specific conditions, our clinic also offers treatments for more general concerns with uneven skin tone and texture.
