At Chatham Skin Clinic, we are committed to providing a welcoming space for all skin tones in the world of aesthetics. We ensure that every patient, including those with pigmentation in their skin, receives safe, effective, and high-quality treatments tailored to their needs.
We understand that people of color may experience skin conditions that require specialized care and treatment. Due to differences in skin types and pigmentation, certain skin conditions can be more prevalent or have unique characteristics in individuals with darker skin tones.
With our expertise, we offer effective solutions for a variety of these skin conditions including but not limited to:
Acne in Skin of Color
Acne can cause more significant pigmentation issues in individuals with darker skin tones, leading to post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
Acne Keloidalis
A common condition affecting the back of the neck, this involves the formation of raised, keloid-like scars after an acne outbreak.
Actinic Keratosis
Actinic keratosis is a rough, scaly patch or bump on the skin. It’s also known as a solar keratosis. Actinic keratoses are very common, and many people have them. They are caused by ultraviolet (UV) damage to the skin.
Dermatosis Papulosa Nigra (DPN)
Dermatosis papulosa nigra (DPN) is a skin condition characterized by multiple small, dark papules that commonly appear on darker skin tones.
Melasma
A common pigmentation disorder caused by hormonal changes, often seen in women, presenting as brown or gray-brown patches on the face.
Post-inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH)
Dark spots that appear after an injury to the skin, including acne scars, and are more noticeable in people with darker skin tones.
Pseudofolliculitis Barbae
Often referred to as “shaving bumps,” this condition occurs when shaved hair grows back into the skin, causing irritation and inflammation, particularly common in Black men.
Seborrheic Dermatitis
A chronic condition that causes scaly, itchy patches, often around the face, scalp, and chest.
Seborrheic Keratosis
Non-cancerous, wart-like growths that often appear with age, which can be removed with our Bovie Electrocautery Machine for a smooth, clear appearance.
