Woman Undergoing Skin Tone Treatment - Metairie, Louisiana - Mekari Dental Studio and SPA

Skin tone and pigmentation refers to the overall color of your skin. Skin tone is a very broad term, and your skin tone can change temporarily due to sun exposure, stress, illness, and hormones. In general, skin tone refers to your natural skin color. Skin pigmentation is similar. It means the underlying pigment, or color, of your skin in its natural state.


If your skin tone and pigmentation has changed or needs improvement, there are aesthetic treatment options that can make your skin look youthful and healthy again. At Mekari Dental Studio & Spa in Metairie, LA , we offer medical grade chemical peels, laser therapies, and skin care that can dramatically improve your skin’s tone and pigmentation.

Factors That Influence Skin Tone & Pigmentation

The aforementioned traits are primarily determined by the amount of melanin in your skin. Melanin is a natural pigment that determines the color of your skin, hair, and eyes. Your skin can become darker or lighter because of changes in your body’s production of melanin. Your skin tone can also be affected by sun exposure, aging, hormonal changes, medications, and illness.


Skin pigmentation disorders like rosacea, eczema, albinism, and melasma can also change your skin pigmentation. Skin damage due to sun exposure or burns can also cause temporary or permanent changes to pigmentation.
