SKIN PIGMENTATION TREATMENT

The UV radiation following sun exposure is the most common cause of pigmentation (Tanning). Depending on the cultural background, tanning is either desirable or unwelcome. In the Middle East, we have a mix of all skin types but the key to beautiful skin is even skin tone rather than fairer skin.

So when we talk of treating pigmentation our aims are to:

• Lighten the skin tone (if desired) to its most genetically natural colour.
• Even out the patchy discolourations for a more homogenous appearance.

TREATMENT OPTIONS

• Cosmetic Peels: Peels can be broadly classified by their depth of penetration (Superficial, Medium, Deep) and/or composition (Eg. AHA: alpha hydroxy acid; BHA: beta hydroxy acid; AKA: alpha-keto acid; TCA: trichloroacetic acid). The choice of the peel depends on specific indications of the patients.
• Lasers: Our laser treatments have proven to be highly effective in the treatment of pigmentation.
• Skin Lightening Creams and Lotions: In milder cases, treatment with skin lightening creams and lotions may suffice.
