The Pigmentation File
On melasma, freckles, sun damage as colouration, and post-inflammatory pigment · the file holds the experience and biology of skin colour variation.
Pigmentation reminds you why makeup exists.
The most common words a woman tells us in clinic are: I just don't want to wear makeup every day. I don't even like makeup. These are not women trying to enhance their eyes with liner or add warmth to their cheeks. They are trying to colour the patches of discolouration that have crept up over time, through sun damage, hormonal change, or genetic predisposition.
The men have it even worse. They don't use makeup. They just have to wear it.
Removing pigmentation from a patient's face lets them wear their own skin.
