Loss of Pigment In Skin
Loss of pigment in the skin can occur for a variety of reasons when the pigment producing cells are disrupted. This can happen during babies development inside the womb, after inflammation such as eczema or as a result of immune attack to the pigment producing cells such as Vitiligo.

Dermatology Consultation
We always recommend starting with a detailed medical history and consultation where we can give you a diagnosis. This then helps us to plan a treatment for your diagnosis.
Prescriptions
Depending on the cause alot of pigmentation issues can be treated with medical prescriptions which reduce inflammation and itching.
Microneedling
In some clients we have good success with clients with single patches to do microneedling to the area. This causes a blending of the skin colour and we combine this with medical grade prescriptions.
Camouflage
If treatments are not successful as in NHS Dermatology we can arrange skin camouflage for you.

Loss of Pigment In Skin Faq
Results can be seen in approximately 6 weeks as it takes this length of time for repigmentation.
This depends on the cause. It is important to treat and control the underlying cause such as eczema or itching condition which then helps to keep the melanocyte stable. If this is done results are long lasting but usually some form of maintenance treatment is needed and we will advise you of this.
We do not do injections other than microneedling to the skin as this can make the areas worse. We also do not surgically remove patches as we feel this is too drastic and against our views of good ethical practice.
