Pigmentation:
What is Pigmentation?
The skin is made up of two layers, the upper ‘epidermis’ and the lower ‘dermis’. The epidermis and the dermis are further divided into other layers. The lower most layer of the epidermis is known as the basal layer and it contains organelles called ‘melanosomes’. These melanosomes contain cells called melanocytes which produce a pigment called ‘melanin’. The colour of the skin depends mainly on this melanin and the amount of melanin present in the other layers of the epidermis. The thickness of the epidermis and vascularity of the epidermis are other factors affecting the various colours visible on the skin.

Why I need a Consultation
Consultations are conducted with clients before the treatment to:
- Assess your individual skin and create a personalised treatment plan
- Assess which treatment option is best appropriate for you
- Advise pre and post treatment care instructions
- Explain the pigmentation reduction process
- Advise the cost of treatment
