Scarring and Pigmentation Treatment
Scarring and pigmentation issues can affect anyone, leading to uneven skin tone and texture. Our specialized treatments are designed to address these concerns, promoting a more even, radiant complexion. Whether you are dealing with acne scars, surgical scars, sunspots or hyperpigmentation, we offer effective solutions tailored to your skin’s needs.
Understanding Scarring and Pigmentation
- Scarring: Scars form as part of the body’s natural healing process following an injury. Acne, surgery and trauma can all result in different types of scars, including hypertrophic scars, keloids, and atrophic scars.
- Pigmentation: Pigmentation issues, such as hyperpigmentation, melasma, and sunspots, occur when excess melanin is produced in certain areas of the skin. This can be caused by sun exposure, hormonal changes, inflammation and skin injuries.
