What is Pigmentation?

Pigmentation refers to uneven colour in the skin. It can show as sun spots, freckles, melasma, or post-inflammatory marks after breakouts. Some forms sit superficially, while others lie deeper and need careful planning. Our focus is safe, staged improvement. We balance in-clinic treatments with home care and strict sun protection to help keep results steady.

Common Causes

UV triggers excess melanin and dark spots over time.

Pregnancy and contraception can contribute to melasma.

Marks can appear after acne or irritation.

Some skins are more prone to pigment clustering.

Heat, certain medications, and inconsistent SPF can worsen colour.
