Pigmentation Treatments
Pigmentation or more specifically,”Hyperpigmentation” of the skin is seen due to an increase in the amount of melanin in the skin. Melanin is the brown pigment of your skin. This increase in pigment can be due to many causes -
Melasma
Photo damage or sun spots
Freckles
Lentigines
Post acne hyperpigmentation
Post inflammatory Hyperpigmentation
Hormonal causes
Allergic reactions to hair colours/dyes
Nutritional deficiencies
When we begin treatment, we must first establish the cause of hyperpigmentation. An attempt is made to eliminate and treat the cause.
