Skin pigmentation affects the colour of your skin. Your skin can get uneven pigmentation when the colour-producing cells called melanin are damaged or affected. This can result in uneven patches on the face or the entire body.

Skin pigmentation can be a result of medical conditions or environmental factors like sun exposure. Infections or burns and blisters can also cause pigmentation of the skin – often leading to patches of lighter skin in the affected area. While not always harmful, it is not good to see your skin looking uneven, and can make you look unhealthy and feel unattractive.

However, with new advances in derma-technology, we can treat a large variety of pigmentation issues with tools like specialised lasers, dermabrasions and peels.
