What Is Pigmentation & What Causes it?

Our skin’s colour, or pigmentation, is determined by melanin production. When there’s an excess of melanin, it results in skin darkening or hyperpigmentation. The reasons for the overproduction of melanin or hyperpigmentation can be both internal and external.

Internal factors include:

Genetic elements.
Issues with the endocrine system.
Hormonal imbalances.
Certain health conditions like Addison’s disease.
The natural ageing process.
Skin inflammation is caused by breakouts or protein accumulation.

External factors include:

UV radiation,
allergies,
medication reactions,
Few skin injuries

NOTE:

It’s crucial to note that individuals with darker skin tones are more prone to hyperpigmentation due to overactive melanocytes.

Common Types Of Pigmentation

Age spots

Also known as sunspots or liver spots, they occur primarily on sun-exposed areas such as the face, chest, shoulders and arms. They appear as brown, tan or black coloured spots on the skin because of increased localised melanin production stimulated by ageing-related degeneration and prolonged sun damage.

Melasma

Women often develop large and irregular patches of dark skin during pregnancy on the forehead, nose, upper cheeks, lips and stomach that persist for long, increase with sun exposure and tend to recur. It is also known as Chloasma or the mask of pregnancy. Men may occasionally have this type of pigmentation too.

Freckles

These are tiny light brown to black irregular spots occurring on the face, especially around the eyes, cheeks and nose in young to middle-aged adults. They may be familial and increase by extended UV exposure without sun protection.

Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH)

PIH appears as dark spots or patches after an inflammatory skin disturbance, such as acne or eczema. They usually appear on the face and neck but may occur in any body area.

Macular Amyloidosis

This type of pigmentation refers to greyish or dusty brown stains that appear anywhere on the body, especially on the arms, back and chest. These dark patches with a rippled pattern appear due to the accumulation of amyloid or amyloid-like proteins in the dermis. They are a common skin concern among middle-aged females.

Suntan

Hyperpigmentation may occur in common areas such as the face, neck and arms due to prolonged exposure to harmful sun rays. Acute skin damage due to UV radiation may lead to sunburns or even skin cancer.

Lichen planus pigmentosus (LPP)

This condition leads to large, diffused grey patches in sun-exposed body areas. It results in persistent, stubborn pigmentation that occurs primarily on the face and neck of dark-skinned individuals.

Pigmentation Treatments In India

It is possible to treat and reduce pigmentation with the help of advanced, scientifically-proven medical procedures that eliminate your skin’s melanin build-up (Hyperpigmentation) safely and effectively and lighten your skin tone.

Chemical Peels For Pigmentation

Controlled exfoliation of damaged layers using an FDA-approved chemical solution is known as chemical peeling. Chemical peels help eliminate melanin build-up, reduce pigment formation and reveal visibly brighter skin. Your doctor may recommend different concentrations of chemical peels and multiple sessions after three to four weeks, depending on your skin type and the severity of your pigmentation. You may note exfoliation from the treated area for a few days after the peel procedure.

Laser Treatment For Pigmentation

In this procedure, a laser beam breaks the excess melanin into smaller particles, which the immune system of the skin eventually eliminates to help restore your flawless complexion by removing pigmentation safely and effectively. Laser toning is ideal for treating superficial and deeper pigmented patches such as suntan, pigmentary demarcation lines, melasma, sunspots and acne marks on the face. It can also help reduce tan, macular amyloidosis, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation and Lichen planus pigmentosus to correct the skin tone of different body areas. Q-switched Nd: YAG laser is the top choice of leading dermatologists in India for painless and effective pigmentation treatment. You may require at least six to eight sessions at monthly intervals to regain your natural skin tone based on the type and severity of pigmentation and the target area.
