Pigmentation Removal

Skin pigmentation refers to the colouration of skin. Your skin colour is determined by the levels of melanin in your skin cells. If the cells are healthy, your skin will appear normal. However, if the skin cells become unhealthy or damaged your skin may turn lighter (hypopigmentation) or darker (hyperpigmentation), both of which are recognized as skin disorders. Vitiligo is a type of hypopigmentation, where the skin cells are destroyed, and causing pronounced white patches to appear on the body. Hormonal changes and excessive exposure to sunlight can also cause skin pigmentation issues, resulting in dark patches or spots on the skin.

Common Causes andTypes
  • Sun Exposure: UV rays trigger melanin overproduction, leading to sunspots and freckles.
  • Hormonal Changes: Pregnancy or birth control pills often cause stubborn melasma patches on the face.
  • Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH): Dark marks left behind after acne or skin injury.
Treatment Options Available
  • Laser Therapy: Concentrated light energy breaks down deeper melanin deposits, requiring about 3 to 6 sessions.
  • Chemical Peels: Pharmaceutical acids exfoliate upper discolored skin layers to brighten tone.
  • Topical Prescriptions: Hydroquinone, retinoids, or custom creams prescribed by a doctor for gradual fading.
After-Care Procedure
  • Downtime: Ranges from zero to mild redness or light flaking lasting a few days.
  • Sun Protection: Strict daily use of broad-spectrum SPF 30 to 50+ is mandatory to prevent pigment from returning.
  • Results Timeline: Initial fading becomes visible within 2 to 4 weeks, with full results emerging over a couple of months of consistent sessions.
