Pigmentation and dark spots

Pigmentation and dark spots

Increased pigmentation occurs when there is excess production of melanin, which is the pigment that gives skin its colour. The skin appears to have dark patches or spots that can be visible anywhere on the body. These discolourations are often very noticeable and can diminish your confidence. We offer a range of treatments that successfully address this issue to restore even skin tone.

The main types of this condition are melasma, sunspots and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Melasma is often due to hormonal changes and may be triggered by pregnancy. Sunspots (or liver spots) develop due to excessive sun exposure over the years. Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation occurs as a result of injury or inflammation to the skin, such as acne.
