START WITH A QUESTION

Pigmentation

A dark mark is a description, not a diagnosis. Ask a clinician to identify the concern before choosing a device. Bring a history of changes and previous treatments.

Understand what is changing your skin tone.

A dark spot, a patch of uneven colour and a mark left after a breakout can need different conversations. Start with the cause, how long it has been present and whether it is changing.

What to bring up

Bring a timeline, previous treatment details and a list of your current skincare products. Ask about sun protection and a plan for recurrence.

“What is causing this mark, and could the proposed treatment make pigmentation worse?”
