ABOUT US
Chroma Dermatology is a dermatology centre with a difference – we are a passionate about pigment and skin of colour and committed to education, research and community service.
While we care for patients with all skin types, we pride ourselves on having expertise in selecting safe and medically proven treatments for those with pigment problems and those who have non-caucasian skin types.
Chroma Dermatology recognises that Chinese, Indian, African, Middle Eastern and indigenous Oceanic skin is different to Caucasian skin and may differ in presentation, response and reaction to treatment. Understanding the differences and having the skill to tailor the treatment approach is critical to successfully treating pigmented skin. The entire Chroma Dermatology team look forward to welcoming you to our centre soon!
