Pigmentation

Skin pigmentation issues, including hyperpigmentation and hypopigmentation, can affect anyone and significantly impact one’s appearance and confidence. Whether caused by sun exposure, hormonal changes, or underlying skin conditions, pigmentation irregularities often require professional treatment to achieve clear, even-toned skin. In this guide, we’ll explore the causes and aesthetic effects of skin pigmentation, discuss effective treatment options, and highlight the importance of seeking care from qualified health professionals at Lasers in Medicine.

What is Skin Pigmentation?

Skin pigmentation refers to the colouring of the skin, which is primarily determined by melanin, a pigment produced by cells called melanocytes. Various factors can disrupt melanin production, leading to pigmentation disorders:

Hyperpigmentation

This condition occurs when the skin produces excess melanin, resulting in dark spots or patches. Common types include melasma, sunspots, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

Hypopigmentation

This occurs when there is a decrease in melanin production, leading to lighter patches of skin. Conditions like vitiligo and albinism are examples of hypopigmentation.
