Overview
Pigmentation is treated as a medical concern at Sholema. We identify the driver — sun, inflammation, hormones or friction — then build a course around it.
What it helps with
- Melasma
- Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation
- Sun damage
- Uneven tone
How it works
Prescribed topicals suppress excess pigment production while in-clinic procedures clear existing pigment. Daily photoprotection prevents relapse.
Suitability
- Suitable for all skin tones

Frequently asked questions
