Pigmentation Treatment

The skin’s pigment is produced by a specific skin cell, the melanocyte. This pigment, called melanin, is responsible for our skin, eye and hair colour.

Hyper-pigmentation is caused by excess production of melanin. This is generally triggered by sun damage and inflammation, but certain medications and hormones can also be a cause. When we see pigmentation on the surface with the naked eye, it is due to years of cumulative sun damage that begins in our childhood.
