Hello Interloper!

How do we get pigmentation?
Sun damage- exposure to UV rays. The results can be seen over time, and you may see darker patches of skin, freckles and some discolouration.
Melasma - what’s that?
It’s a type of pigmentation associated with hormones and freckles. You may have experienced or seen in friends and family that when pregnant, there is some discolouration on the skin. In general, this fades and dissipates after pregnancy, but not always. Medication can also play a part in pigmentation.
Interestingly, I have melasma, and I will share my treatment journey with you through my before-and-after shots. Every year, I need to work on my pigmentation, although you wouldn’t have a clue to look at me now.
