Pigmentation
Pigmentation covers a range of conditions where the skin becomes darker or lighter in certain areas. Skin pigmentation disorders occur when the body produces either too much or too little melanin, the pigment that gives skin its colour.
Overproduction leads to hyperpigmentation, visible as dark spots or patches, often due to sun exposure, hormonal changes or inflammation. Underproduction results in lighter patches, and typically stem from medical conditions like vitiligo.
Before anything else, if you notice sudden pigmentation, please be aware that it can be an indicator of an underlying health condition which may require further assessment (we are more than happy to advise on this).
Pigmentation Treatment
Once any further health condition has been ruled out (or managed), you’ll want to resolve your appearance. Pigmentations can make parts of your skin look dull and uneven, leaving you feeling self-conscious.
Today aestheticians have many options for those suffering from pigmentation. We use chemical peels, laser therapy or microdermabrasion, all of which can help even out skin tone (we’ll work with you to decide which treatment best meets your needs based on the causes of your pigmentation). We can also use topical agents like hydroquinone, retinoids, and vitamin C to lighten hyperpigmented areas.
