PIGMENTATION/SUN DAMAGE
Pigmentation is extremely common in Australia and presents itself in many different ways from freckles to melasma. Pigment can be genetic or due to external factors such as excessive sun exposure or trauma to the skin. Internally driven pigmentation is most commonly seen from certain medications or hormones like the contraceptive pill or post pregnancy. Each type of pigmentation has a different pathway of formation therefore, treatment options will vary. When treating any form of pigmentation there are non-negotiable pigment inhibiting products (tyrosinase inhibitors) that will protect the skin from further damage or rebound damage.
When treating pigment, you should always be using SPF daily. It is also extremely important to have regular skin checks. When removing pigment, you remove the tell-tale signs of potential skin cancers. By getting your skin checked regularly and before proceeding with any pigment treatments, it ensures that any pigment we remove is safe to do so and allows peace of mind.
