The Different Types
There are many different types of facial pigmentation cases out there, and just as many different types of possible treatments. While some may work for certain individuals, others who suffer from facial pigmentation find that the non-conventional treatments work better for them.
It is advised that you consult your qualified medical practitioner for a proper diagnosis before you attempt any type of treatment for facial pigmentation. Vitiligo is identified by milky white spots on the skin and may be treated with the combination of light-sensitive medications and ultraviolet light, dyes or an excimer laser.
Melasma causes brown patches on the skin, while port wine stains are birth marks that present as flat pink to purple areas on the face. This type of facial pigmentation can be treated with laser therapy.

Depigmentation Treatment For Even-looking Skin Tone
There are various skin conditions, one of which are pigmentation. Pigmentation can be caused and affected by a number of things, including aging, hormonal fluctuations, sun exposure and so forth. But how do we treat it? The most effective way to help your skin regain its even-looking shimmer is by means of depigmentation treatment.
A depigmentation treatment such as Cosmelan® helps eliminate blemishes and dark patches on your skin. This formula acts as a block for melanin-producing enzymes such as Tyrosinase, resulting in the reduction of melasma. As the skin discolour is caused by the melanin molecules the blocking of tyrosinase thus prevents the skin from getting to the point of discolouring, and in doing so helps you to enjoy the excellence of an even-looking skin tone.
For more information on this depigmentation treatment contact us today to speak to one of our aesthetic consultants about the effective treatment of Cosmelan®.

“When reaching my 30th birthday, I noticed that I had developed rather bad sun damage having lived a very active outdoor life in South Africa for the majority of my life. People began commenting on how many ‘freckles’ I had, my face felt ‘dirty’, and living in the UK I contrasted with the pure skinned English in London. Laser Technician Cherie Fraser performed my first BBL (Broadband Light) treatment and changed all of this! I had no idea just how effective the BBL treatment would be which literally was like magic. Within one week my sun damage had practically disappeared! The first treatment was painful but not dissimilar to most beauty techniques, and the results were dramatic. My skin surface became smooth, the freckles disappeared and people could not help noticing how clear my skin was and how radiant I looked. Forget creams and everything else that gets sold, this is the only treatment I would ever recommend to someone wanting to make a real difference. I feel so much more confident and it was a thrill not having to wear make up! More is removed after each treatment which is now quick and painless. Highly recommendable and very affordable.”

Your skin colour is produced by a pigment called melanin. It is a yellow, brown or black colour, and it is what gives your skin its shade. It is also responsible for the colour of your eyes iris. Skin Pigmentation is determined by the race you are and also how much time you spend in the sun. Some people actually have skin pigmentation problems, such as sun spots or liver spots, dark freckles, moles and so on.
