Pigmentation is one of the most common skin concerns we see at InnaSkin. It can affect anyone, presenting as uneven tone, dark patches, or stubborn spots that seem to linger no matter how much skincare you try. The truth is, pigmentation isn’t a one-size-fits-all concern — there are different types, and each requires a tailored treatment approach.
At InnaSkin, we specialise in diagnosing the cause of pigmentation and creating personalised treatment plans using our advanced medical-grade technologies. Here’s a breakdown of the main pigmentation types and how we can help.
Types of Pigmentation
Melasma
Often triggered by hormones, pregnancy, or oral contraceptives.
Appears as symmetrical brown patches, typically across the cheeks, forehead, and upper lip.
Worsens with UV exposure and heat.
Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH)
Caused by skin trauma such as acne, burns, or aggressive treatments.
Shows up as flat, darkened marks after the skin heals.
More common in medium to darker Fitzpatrick skin types.
Sunspots / Solar Lentigines
Result from long-term sun exposure.
Appear as small, flat brown spots on the face, chest, hands, and shoulders.
A visible sign of photoaging.
Freckles (Ephelides)
Usually genetic but darken with sun exposure.
Common in fairer skin types.
Though harmless, some people prefer to reduce their appearance.
