What Are Pigmentation Disorders?
Pigmentation disorders are conditions that affect your skinβs natural colour. They occur when melanin β the pigment responsible for skin tone β is either overproduced or underproduced. This can lead to dark patches, uneven tone, or lighter areas on the skin.
At our clinic, we specialise in diagnosing and treating both:
- Hyperpigmentation (skin darkening)
- Hypopigmentation (loss of skin colour)
Types of Pigmentation Disorders We Treat
Hyperpigmentation
Hyperpigmentation happens when your skin produces too much melanin, leading to dark spots or patches. Common types include:
- Melasma β often caused by hormonal changes or sun exposure
- Post-inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH) β dark marks left after acne, eczema, or injury
- Age Spots / Sun Spots β sun-induced pigmentation often found on the face and hands

Hypopigmentation
Hypopigmentation is when your skin loses colour, resulting in lighter patches. The most common form we treat is:
- Vitiligo β an autoimmune condition that causes white patches of skin
