Editorial intent
Every article in this Special interest is written with Skin of Colour readers as the default, not the exception. Pieces cover hyperpigmentation protocols, post-inflammatory marks, melasma versus PIH, regenerative work on melanin-rich skin, at-home routines, and the specific clinical considerations chain clinics routinely miss. Arman leads every clinical consultation and reviews every piece against the published literature. Catia delivers the laser and HydroMED Pro work that follows.
