Pigmentation Removal

Skin pigmentation is caused by overproduction of melanin in the skin. Types of pigmentation may manifest as freckles, sunspots, melasma, and various other conditions. Poor lifestyle choices such as prolonged sun exposure with lack of sun protection, smoking, hormonal changes during pregnancy and menopause, and aging are the main factors that can contribute to abnormal skin pigmentation. Certain medications can also change hormone levels and affect melanin production. People with darker skin tones are prone to hyperpigmentation.

Common methods for treating pigmentation and post inflammatory hyperpigmentation usually involve different types of lasers, laser sessions and occasionally even chemical peels. Specific cases of dark spots, age spots, brown spot and acne scarring can also be effectively treated by an experienced doctor.
