Pigmentation Treatment

Pigmentation is when excess melanin is produced, causing darker and uneven skin tone, which manifests in different forms like:

• Melasma: Large patches that appear because of irregular skin darkening and can affect the face, typically starting on the cheeks and the nose.
• Age Spots: These occur primarily on the face, chest, shoulders, and arms. They are also known as sunspots or freckles.
• Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH): Dark spots appearing on acne-prone areas of the body, including the face.
• Macular Amyloidosis: These can be found anywhere on the body and appear as small greyish or dusty brown stains on the skin.
• Lichen Planus Pigmentosus (LPP): This can be found on the face and neck and appears as greyish patches of pigmented skin.
• Suntan: This skin pigmentation is triggered by prolonged exposure to the sun and is the most common. It can be found on the face, neck, and arms and feet.
• Lentigines and Freckles: Small brown to black spots occur on the body’s sun-exposed areas due to harmful UV rays or a genetic skin condition.

Hyperpigmentation occurs when melanin, which is the natural pigment in our body, increases. A few factors can trigger this, including age, skin injuries, hormonal influences, and even sun exposure.

This will first depend on the cause, duration and extent of the pigmentation; we offer a varied choice of treatments such as:

• Chemical peels
• Microdermabrasion
• IPL (Intense Pulsed Laser)
• Microneedling
• Vampire Facial
