Pigmentation

Pigmentation is the discoloration or darkening of the skin caused by an overproduction of melanin, the natural pigment that gives our skin, hair, and eyes their color. This excess melanin can form concentrated deposits, leading to spots, patches, or an uneven skin tone.

Common types include:

• Sun Spots: From sun exposure.

• Melasma: Often hormone-related.

• Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH): Dark marks left after acne or an injury has healed.

Think of it as your skin's response to various triggers, with the primary ones being sun exposure, hormonal changes, inflammation, and heat.

How To Treat Pigmentation?

Effectively treating pigmentation requires a combined approach: in-clinic lasers like Pico or CO2 shatter and remove existing pigment, while microneedling rejuvenates skin and enhances product absorption. This is supported by a consistent medical-grade skincare regimen with ingredients like Vitamin C and retinoids to control melanin production at home. Critically, you must also protect your results by minimizing heat exposure—as heat can trigger pigment—and wearing daily sunscreen to prevent new spots from forming.
