Pigment Conditions are of great concern to patients and are very common. Skin pigment is called melanin, the brown protein that gives our skin color and helps protect us from sun damage.  As we age, various processes can cause inconsistent melanin production in our skin, leading to an inconsistent complexion or dark patches. Pigment can also be produced by trauma to the skin, so a bad cut or surgical incision may become darkened or lightened and need treatment.

Pigment conditions usually require personalized medications to achieve the desired amount of ‘fading’ without irritation or side effects. Melbourne Pharma has great expertise in this area, and we can also help with hormonal balancing, which may offer skin benefits for some patients. We also offer non-medicated customized cosmetics that many patients love.
