Skin Pigmentation
Understanding Skin Pigmentation
Skin pigmentation refers to the colour of your skin, determined by melanin production. When this process is disrupted — by sun exposure, hormonal changes, acne, or injury — it can result in dark spots, uneven tone, or patches lighter than the surrounding skin. At Clare Dermatology, we diagnose the type and cause of your pigmentation and build a targeted treatment plan to restore an even, luminous complexion.
Types of Pigmentation
- Hyperpigmentation — General darkening of the skin
- Melasma — Hormonal pigmentation, commonly appearing on the face
- Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation — Dark marks left after acne, cuts, or irritation
- Hypopigmentation — Lightened or white patches on the skin
