Skin Pigmentation Disorders (Including Melasma)

What Is It?

Pigmentation means coloring and can appear as brown marks on the skin. There are a range of skin pigmentation disorders (such as Melasma) which affect the color of your skin. Your skin gets its color from a pigment called melanin. Special cells in the skin make melanin. When these cells become damaged or unhealthy, it affects melanin production.

What Treatments are Available?

Treatment options for pigmenting disorders depends on the cause as well as your skin type. The Dermatologists and Registered Nurses at Delta Dermatology will be able to review your specific concerns and recommend a treatment plan which could include laser treatment, light treatment, lightening creams and/or chemical peels.
