Types of Pigmentation

Pigmentation refers to skin tone and colour changes, most often triggered by an overproduction or uneven distribution of melanin. Common types include sunspots (solar lentigines), melasma, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), and freckles.

Frequently Asked Questions

What causes pigmentation?

Pigmentation is caused by overproduction of melanin, triggered by sun exposure, hormonal changes, inflammation, medications, or genetics. UV damage is the most common cause of dark spots.

Which treatment suits my pigmentation?

It depends on the type and depth of pigmentation. IPL photofacials are often used for sunspots, while chemical peels address surface discolouration. Your consultation determines the approach that suits you.

How many sessions are needed to see results?

Some people see a change after 1 or 2 sessions, and a series of 3 to 6 treatments is typically recommended. Maintenance treatments help prevent pigment from returning. Results vary.

Can pigmentation come back after treatment?

Yes, without proper sun protection, pigmentation can return. Daily SPF use and medical-grade skincare are essential for maintaining results.
