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.

Frequently Asked Questions
Pigmentation on the skin is often caused by an overproduction of melanin, the pigment that gives skin its color. This can be caused by a variety of factors, including sun exposure, hormonal changes, and skin injuries.
There are several treatments available for pigmentation, including chemical peels, laser therapy, and topical lightening agents.
Chemical peels use a chemical solution to remove the top layers of skin, which can help to lighten pigmentation and even out skin tone.
Laser therapy can be an effective treatment for pigmentation, particularly for more stubborn cases of hyperpigmentation and melasma. Laser therapy works by targeting the excess pigment in the skin and breaking it down.
As with any cosmetic treatment, there are some risks associated with pigmentation treatment. These risks can include skin irritation, redness, and swelling. However, these risks can be minimized by choosing an experienced medical professional and following proper aftercare instructions.
While pigmentation treatment can be very effective, it is not necessarily permanent. Depending on the type and severity of the pigmentation, maintenance treatments may be required to maintain results over time.
If you have any additional questions or concerns about pigmentation treatment, be sure to consult with Dr KW Chan who can provide personalized advice and recommendations based on your individual needs and concerns.
