What is Pigmentation?
Pigmentation means coloring. Skin pigmentation disorders affect the color of your skin. Your skin gets its color from a pigment called melanin. Special cells in the skin make melanin. When these cells become damaged or unhealthy, it affects melanin production. Some pigmentation disorders affect just patches of skin. Others affect your entire body.
If your body makes too much melanin, your skin gets darker. Pregnancy, Addison’s disease, and sun exposure all can make your skin darker. If your body makes too little melanin, your skin gets lighter. Vitiligo is a condition that causes patches of light skin. Albinism is a genetic condition affecting a person’s skin. A person with albinism may have no color, lighter than normal skin color, or patchy missing skin color. Infections, blisters and burns can also cause lighter skin.
Depending on your skin’s needs, treatment works by:
- Stimulating collagen and elastin production
- Resurfacing damaged skin layers
- Breaking down scar tissue
- Improving skin tone and texture
- Reducing visible indentations and uneven skin surface
Treatment sessions are generally quick, with minimal discomfort and little downtime depending on the chosen procedure. Most clients achieve the best results through a series of treatments, with noticeable improvements developing progressively as the skin heals and regenerates.
Our goal is to provide safe, effective, and tailored acne scar solutions that help restore confidence in your skin.
