Understanding Pigmentation Concerns

Pigmentation refers to the coloration of the skin, which is determined by the production and distribution of melanin, the pigment responsible for skin tone. When melanin production becomes uneven or excessive, it can lead to various pigmentation concerns, including dark spots, sun damage, melasma, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Understanding the underlying causes of these concerns is essential for developing targeted treatment plans.

Common Types of Pigmentation Concerns:

  • Dark Spots (Solar Lentigines):

    • Description: Dark spots, also known as age spots or sun spots, are flat, brown spots that develop on sun-exposed areas of the skin, such as the face, hands, and shoulders.
    • Causes: Dark spots are primarily caused by prolonged sun exposure, which stimulates the production of melanin in the skin.
    • Treatment: Treatment options for dark spots may include topical lightening agents, chemical peels, laser therapy, or cryotherapy. Our clinic offers customized treatment plans to effectively fade dark spots and restore even skin tone

  • Melasma:

    • Description: Melasma is a common pigmentation disorder characterized by brown or gray patches on the face, particularly on the cheeks, forehead, nose, and upper lip.
    • Causes: Melasma is often triggered by hormonal changes, such as pregnancy or oral contraceptive use, as well as sun exposure and genetic predisposition.
    • Treatment: Treatment for melasma may involve topical medications, chemical peels, microdermabrasion, or laser therapy. Our dermatologists will tailor a treatment plan to address your specific concerns and skin type.

  • Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH):

    • Description: Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation refers to darkening of the skin that occurs after inflammation or injury, such as acne breakouts, insect bites, or skin trauma.
    • Causes: PIH occurs when melanocytes produce excess melanin in response to inflammation or injury to the skin.
    • Treatment: Treatment options for PIH may include topical lightening agents, chemical peels, microdermabrasion, or laser therapy. Our clinic offers comprehensive solutions to fade pigmented lesions and restore skin clarity.
