The process by which pigmentation is created will be discussed, step by step, for a thorough understanding of which cells and systems are involved and each step that takes place. From this platform, we will be equipped to understand where pigmentation issues arise by assessing where the process goes wrong.

Taking skin type and ethnicity into consideration, current treatment options will be evaluated for risk vs. reward. Treatment options to be discussed include laser and light therapies, cosmetic and medical needling, prescription treatments and clinical skin care options. We will discuss the benefits of combining low-risk modalities and effective professional treatments with pharmaceutical grade skin care, for optimal results.
