Pigmentation may occur in the form of Melasma, Post inflammatory pigmentation, Freckles, Lentigines and several other skin conditions. The key to effective treatment is a correct diagnosis and rigorous maintenance after the pigmentation is treated.

Pigmentation treatment under my guidance begins with a detailed consultation about skin care practices, genetics, pregnancy and contraception, past treatments, etc. Blood tests and skin tests may be advised.

Treating pigmentation is often very challenging. Relevant skin care, medications and advanced treatments in the form of chemical peels and mesotherapy are almost always required.

Improvement or healing can be expected in most cases within 8 weeks.
