About Pigmentation & Skin Brightening

Why I Start With Diagnosis

Every skin has a story. I don’t just jump into pigmentation treatments. First, I need to know what’s actually going on. Pigmentation is tricky, and what works for one person can mess up someone else’s skin. So, I always begin with a proper check-up before suggesting anything. No more guessing or believing random Instagram advice.

Types of Pigmentation I See

Pigmentation isn’t just one thing. You might have:

• Melasma (the stubborn one, usually on cheeks and upper lip, often hormonal)
• Acne marks that just won’t leave (post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation)
• Sun spots or patchy tanning from being out in the sun too much
• Dull or uneven skin tone that makes you feel less confident

Most people actually have a mix of these, so you’re not alone!

My Way of Treating

I make a plan that’s just for you. Sometimes, it’s laser skin rejuvenation for deeper issues, or chemical peels when it’s more on the surface. I might use a carbon laser peel for that instant glow, or fractional CO2 laser for rough texture. Usually, it’s a combo - no one-size-fits-all.

What You Need To Do At Home

Clinic stuff helps, but what you do every day matters more:

• Sunscreen daily, even if you’re indoors
• Ingredients like Vitamin C and Retinol in your routine for acne marks fading and to brighten up
• Avoid fairness creams with steroids - they can make things worse, especially around the mouth

Realistic Results

Results won’t be overnight, but with patience, you’ll see skin that’s clearer and more even. My aim is for you to feel good about your skin, not just look different.
