Pigmentation & Tanning

Hyperpigmentation and Tanning are caused by an increase in melanin pigment. A number of factors can trigger an increase in melanin production, but the main ones are sun exposure, hormonal influences, age and skin injuries.

Melasma is believed to be caused by hormonal changes and may develop during pregnancy. Areas of hyperpigmentation may appear commonly over the cheeks, upper lip and nose. These patches get darker over time, giving your face a dull appearance.

The treatment approach begins with starting a good sun protection regime and topical products. Additionally Detan peels and lasers give improvement.
