Pigmentation assessment

WHY ASSESSMENT MATTERS

Pigment has many possible causes

Skin discolouration can be stable or unstable, congenital or acquired, permanent or temporary, protective or even harmful.  Pigmentary disorders maybe due to Sun exposure, inflammation, medication, or even due to underlying medical conditions. Accurate diagnosis is essential, as inappropriate treatment can aggravate the condition or mask important clinical signs.

Important: Suitability, expected results and treatment risks vary. A consultation is required before recommendations are made.
