PIGMENTATION
LESION REMOVAL
Treating pigmentation is simple and quick. It can take as little as 1-3 treatments at 3-4 weeks apart to successfully treat an area.
Pigmentation occurs when too much melanin has been produced, causing a discolouration in the skin. You can see it in forms of patches or spots. There are many factors that triggers pigmentation, the main one being UVA rays from the sun, which produces melanocytes (pigment making cells) to create more melanin to protect the skin (sun tan). Patches of melanin cause birthmarks, freckles and sun spots.
Other factors can also play a part, such as, birth control pills, hormones, acne and medication. These conditions can be difficult to treat, and reoccurrence of pigmentation is common.
