Pigmentation/Brown spots
There are many different forms of pigmentation such as freckles, age spots actinic bronzing (a tan) and melasma and though their aetiology differs they all have one common denominator, sun exposure. The exception is Post Inflammatory Hyper-Pigmentation (PIHP), which is the skins response to an injury other than ultraviolet radiation and is common in darker skin types. Treatment options vary substantially and your Dermal Therapist will recommend your best options during your initial consultation. (See Melasma and Sun-damage for more specific information on each)
