Pigmentation
Pigmentation on the skin is a common condition. It can appear on the skin in various forms such as melasma, age spots and hyperpigmentation. Our range of innovative treatments can effectively reduce the appearance of pigmentation tailored to your skin type.
What causes pigmentation?
The appearance of pigmentation on the surface of the skin is most commonly caused by damaged or unhealthy melanocytes cells. These cells make up the melanin in our skin which is how our skin gets its colour. The cells can be damaged by sun exposure, age, hormones and medications, causing an overproduction of the cells and pigmentation to occur. Pigmentation often appears on the face, chest, arms and hands.
Other causes of pigmentation could be the result of:
- Hereditary, your susceptibility to developing pigmentation can run in families.
- The contraceptive pill, pregnancy and menopause, due to the fluctuations of hormones
- Excessive sun exposure and use of sunbeds
- Ageing
- Mechanical trauma such as acne
The pigmentation appears on the skin as brown patches.
Typically, the appearance of pigmentation becomes more apparent in the summer. The overproduction of melanin in the skin causes brown or grey/brown patches to appear on the skin. These patches of pigmentation can develop on the face, neck, chest, arms and hands where we get the most exposure from the sun.
At Pearl Aesthetics, we can use a combination of treatments to target and reduce the appearance of pigmentation. There are some beneficial at home techniques we will suggest you do to help enhance your treatment results:
- Wear a high SPF sun cream year-round
- Avoid tanning and the use of sunbeds
- Use melanin suppressant products
