Not all pigmentation is the same—even if it may look similar at first glance.
And this is the key:
Correctly identifying the type of pigmentation is what determines whether a treatment will actually work… or not.
In clinical practice, it is very common to see melasma, sun spots, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation present at the same time—yet treated as if they were one single condition.

Pigmentation is not just about color.
It’s about depth, trigger, and behavior.
