What does repigmentation seek to address?

  1. Enhancement of natural skin color

  2. Restoration of color lost due to skin conditions

  3. The application of decorative tattoos

  4. Removal of tattoos or body art

The correct answer is: Restoration of color lost due to skin conditions

Repigmentation specifically focuses on restoring the color of the skin that has been lost due to various skin conditions, such as vitiligo or other forms of skin depigmentation. These conditions can result in areas of the skin becoming lighter than the surrounding skin, and repigmentation techniques aim to promote or facilitate the return of pigment to those lighter areas. In contrast, enhancing natural skin color involves treatments that may aim to brighten or alter the skin tone, rather than restoring lost color. Applying decorative tattoos or removing them relates to body art practices that do not involve addressing skin color loss due to medical conditions. Thus, the goal of repigmentation distinguishes it clearly from these other processes.
