Melanin is the natural pigment that gives your skin its unique colour (skin pigmentation).
However, the levels of melanin produced by the body can change, causing a change in skin colour. These changes can broken down into three different types; Hyperpigmentation (skin becomes darker) and Hypopigmentation (skin becomes lighter) and depigmentation (loss of pigment).
Sometimes Pigmentation can be very noticeable and cause a person a great deal of distress or embarrassment. At the Cadogan Clinic, our specialist dermatologists can offer a range of treatments and solutions for Pigmentation concerns.
