Types of pigmentation we commonly treat

Pigmentation can present in different forms. Each type is assessed individually to guide appropriate care.

Sun / Age Spots

Sun or age spots are flat areas of darker pigmentation caused by cumulative sun exposure over time. They commonly appear on the face, hands, and décolletage.

Melasma

Melasma presents as patchy brown or grey pigmentation, most commonly on the face. It is often influenced by hormonal changes and sun exposure.

Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH)

PIH develops after skin inflammation or injury, leaving behind darker marks once the skin has healed. It is common following acne or cosmetic treatments.

Pigmentation

Melasma (also called Chloasma in pregnant women) can be caused by estrogen and progesterone sensitivity, meaning that those who take birth control pills or other hormone therapy treatments are at a higher risk. People who suffer from thyroid issues and stress also have more of a chance of developing Melasma. Prolonged exposure to the sun is another risk factor as the UV rays affect the cells that control the pigment (melanocytes).
