Pigmentation
Pigmentation is one of those concerns that tends to compound over time. A few sun spots become a patch, an old breakout leaves a mark, and gradually the overall tone starts to look uneven in a way that is hard to put your finger on. At Bella Sante MD, we start by identifying what type of pigmentation we are dealing with and what is driving it, because the right treatment depends entirely on that answer.
