Overview
Pigmentation is a group of conditions, not one problem. Sun damage, hormonal melasma, marks left after acne or inflammation, and other causes each respond to different treatments, and some worsen with the wrong one.
That is why treatment is planned only after a consultation, and usually combines prescribed skincare, sun protection and, where appropriate, in-clinic procedures.

Who is it suitable for?
Adults with pigmentation concerns who are willing to follow a skincare and sun-protection routine, which is essential for any result. Some options are not suitable during pregnancy or for certain skin types; the doctor advises.
The doctor confirms the diagnosis and suitability at the consultation.
What happens at the clinic

Results and how they develop
Pigmentation improves gradually and depends on the cause, your skin type, and how consistently the plan is followed. Some conditions, such as melasma, tend to recur and need maintenance.
Results vary from person to person.
Recovery
Depends on the treatment used. Prescribed skincare may cause temporary dryness or redness; in-clinic procedures may cause redness, mild peeling or darkening before fading. Strict sun protection is required throughout.
Your doctor gives written instructions for each step.
Risks and side effects
Every option has risks, and the wrong treatment can make pigmentation worse. All are discussed with you at the consultation.
Common
Redness, dryness, peeling, temporary darkening.
Uncommon
Irritation, breakouts, uneven lightening.
Rare
Burns, scarring, long-lasting pigment change with certain procedures.

Can pigmentation be removed permanently?
Some types respond well; others, such as melasma, tend to come back and are managed rather than cured. The doctor explains what is realistic for you.
Is sun protection really necessary?
Yes. Without daily sun protection most pigmentation treatments do not hold.
Do I need a consultation first?
Yes. A diagnosis is needed before any treatment is chosen.
