Treatment Details

Pigmentation can develop for many reasons, including sun exposure, hormonal changes, inflammation and previous skin conditions. Melasma and post-inflammatory pigmentation can also behave differently from one person to another.

Treatment begins with identifying the type and depth of pigmentation and understanding possible triggers. Depending on your skin and diagnosis, your treatment plan may include medical skincare, sun protection, chemical peels, laser-based treatments or other dermatologist-directed options.

The focus is on improving uneven pigmentation while protecting the skin barrier and reducing the chance of pigmentation returning.
