Pigmentation
What is Pigmentation?
Pigmentation treatment is a medical term used to describe darker patches of skin. These patches result from excess melanin production, which can be caused by everything from acne scars and sun damage to hormone fluctuations. If you’re dealing with hyperpigmentation, know that you aren’t alone. Hyperpigmentation is a common skin condition, and there are a number of different treatment options available.

Causes and Contributing Factors of Pigmentation Treatment
Sun Exposure: Ultraviolet radiation triggers melanin production and overexposure can result in dark spots and uneven pigmentation.
Hormonal Alterations: Fluctuations caused by pregnancy or therapies increase melanin production, leading to issues like Melasma.
Skin Injuries and Burns: Acne and burns may produce excess melanin production that causes dark spots on the skin.
Aging: Slower cell turnover rates and sun exposure result in photoaging resulting in darker spots over time.
Genetics: Genetic predisposition can play a significant role in susceptibility to pigmentation issues such as freckles, melasma and vitiligo.

Steps For Pigmentation Treatment
It typically entails several steps to address irregular skin colorations and reduce or eliminate them. Common treatments for pigmentation include:
Topical treatments: Topical treatments typically consist of prescription creams or serums containing ingredients like hydroquinone, retinoids, or vitamin C to lighten pigmented areas.
Chemical Peels: When applied to the skin, chemical solutions cause it to peel away revealing a lighter and evener complexion.
Laser Therapy: IPL and laser treatments utilize intense pulsed light (IPL) technology to target melanin in the skin and thus dismantle pigmentation.
Microneedling: With the Pigmentation Treatment procedure, micro-injuries are created on the skin’s surface using extremely fine needles to stimulate collagen and reduce pigmentation.
Microdermabrasion: Microdermabrasion is an exfoliation technique that removes the top layer of skin, helping correct pigmentation irregularities and improving pigmentation irregularities.
Cryotherapy: Liquid nitrogen can be used to freeze and eliminate dark spots or lesions on the body.
Sun Protection: Regular sunblock use is vital to avoid further pigmentation.

Lightening creams
Lightening creams are over-the-counter (OTC) treatments that work with select ingredients to help decrease pigmentation. Many of these creams are available in stronger prescription forms. They’re usually applied once or twice a day to help lighten the skin over time. Topical treatments for lightening also come in gel form.
1 Hydroquinone
2 licorice extract
3 N-acetylglucosamine
4 vitamin B-3 (niacinamide)
Who should try this?
Lightening creams or gels work best for flat spots, such as melasma or age spots. They’re effective for patches of discoloration on most skin types. OTC products are accessible (and sometimes more affordable) options for hyperpigmentation, but these can take longer than professional treatments.
