PIGMENTATION TREATMENT

What Is Pigmentation?

Pigmentation is a skin condition when there is an overproduction of Melanin pigment, which leads to our skin look dark, patchy and dull. When such type of pigment mostly and more frequently occurs on the face, it is known as Face Pigmentation. If your body produces more amount of melanin, then your body tends to become darker. Hyperpigmentation can affect not only face but any part of your body such as the neck, face and even hands. Even long exposure of your skin to direct sunlight accelerates the production rate of melanin, which leads to tanning. This is also one form of pigmentation. Skin pigmentation is higher in dark skin hence people with  darker tone are affected by hyperpigmentation.  The condition when the hyperpigmentation mainly develops on your face is known as “Melasma”. Mostly, this type of pigmentation is commonly seen in women. Changes in hormones level are the main reason for the occurrence of Melasma. With the right and proper pigmentation treatment in Mumbai, you can easily get rid of all your skin problems. There are different types of pigmentations and same treatment cannot be applied to all, hence diagnosis of the right type of pigmentation is very important for the right treatment.

Types Of Pigmentations

1. Freckles

Freckles are tiny brown patches on your skin which are caused due to sun exposure or Ultraviolet rays. Freckles mostly occur for those who have a fair complexion.  Freckles are caused due to increase in pigment-producing cells called melanocytes and dark pigment melanin.  Freckles are less harmful and mostly fade out during the winter season. There is pigmentation treatment available for freckles to eliminate them. Freckles may sometimes appear  yellow, black, light brown or reddish but they are always darker than the surrounding skin.

There are two types of Freckles:

1. Ephelides
2. Lentigines

Ephelides is a freckle type which is generally  1mm to 2mm flat spot which is red and light brown. This type of freckle may sometimes occur due to heredity and mostly seen on people with fair or light complexions.

Lentigines are often larger and darker than normal freckles. Unlike common freckle, this type of freckle does not fade away in winter. Lentigines types of freckles are only formed after long exposure to sunlight or U V rays.

Freckles can reoccur if it is repeatedly exposed to the sun even after treatment. Chemical peel is the best pigmentation treatment to lighten the freckles.

2. Melasma

In Melasma, brown or grey patches tend to occur on your face. This type of pigmentation is mostly seen in pregnant women. The main reason which causes Melasma is changing hormones level and high sun exposure. When our skin is over-exposed to the sun, it causes dark patches on our face due to over excessive productoin of pigment melanin.

Melasma can occur on the face in three different patterns i.e

1. On the upper lip, cheek, nose and forehead
2. On the jaw
3. On the Upper Cheeks

Melasma can also occur on body parts such as forearms and neck.

The four different types of Melasma are:

1. Epidermal Melasma
2. Dermal Melasma
3. Mixed Melanin

The fourth type of melasma has no name and mostly occurs on those who have a dark complexion.

3. Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation

Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation is a type of pigmentation which is temporary and is mostly followed after a skin injury. Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation is sometimes also referred to as acquired melanosis

Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation can occur in any individual but commonly seen in darker tone individuals. Those who have acne on their face are most commonly suffering

 by this type of pigmentation. The treatment for Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation is a long process and sometimes can even take 6-12  months to see the results.

There are also many factors that cause dark patches on the skin but are not considered to be the type of pigmentation.
