Start your journey to smoother, more even skin today by booking your personalized pigmentation consultation.
What Is Pigmentation?
Pigmentation refers to the natural colour of your skin, which is primarily determined by melanin. When melanin production is disrupted, patches of darker or lighter skin may develop.
These changes are common but often require targeted treatment to improve appearance and prevent progression. Not sure which pigment type you have? Book your consultation for a personalized assessment.
Hyperpigmentation vs. Hypopigmentation
Hyperpigmentation (Excess Pigment)
- Skin appears darker in certain areas due to overproduction of melanin
- Common causes include:
- Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH): Dark spots left after acne, eczema, or injury
- Melasma: Symmetrical brown patches often triggered by hormones and sun exposure
- Sunspots (lentigines): Flat, brown spots from long-term UV damage
- Freckles: Small, scattered spots that darken with sun
Hypopigmentation (Reduced Pigment)
- Patches of skin appear lighter than the surrounding areas
- Common causes include:
- Post-inflammatory hypopigmentation: Light patches after injury, irritation, or certain treatments
- Vitiligo: An autoimmune condition causing depigmented patches
- Tinea versicolor: A fungal infection that alters skin colour
Common Causes of Pigmentation Changes
Pigmentation changes can result from a variety of factors, each affecting melanin production in different ways, including:
- Sun exposure: UV rays are the leading trigger for pigment changes
- Inflammation or injury: Acne, cuts, burns, or eczema may leave lasting pigment marks
- Hormonal changes: Pregnancy, menopause, or birth control can influence melanin activity
- Medications: Certain drugs increase sun sensitivity or pigment irregularity
- Genetics: Some pigment conditions are hereditary
By identifying what triggers your pigmentation, we can design treatments that restore an even tone and protect your skin for the long term.
