What Is Pigmentation?
Pigmentation, on the skin, refers to the distribution of melanin, known as the natural pigment that gives color to our skin, hair, and eyes. It also refers to some areas of the skin appearing darker than the rest.
Dark spots, freckles, melasma, and sun or age spots are common pigmentations that are often seen in daily life, but do you know that dark underarms are also due to pigmentation? If you think your pits are pigmented, Pico Laser is a skin-brightening treatment that can help you.
