Pigmentation
What is Pigmentation?
Pigmentation is a common concern that arises from the accumulation of melanin in the skin, often resulting in the appearance of brown patches on the skin.
At Fundamental Aesthetic Medical Clinic, we understand the impact pigmentation can have on your confidence and overall complexion. Our personalized approach to pigmentation treatment ensures that you achieve the best results for your unique skin needs.
Causes of Pigmentation
The causes of pigmentation are multifactorial, encompassing various factors that contribute to its development:
Exposure to Ultraviolet Rays from the Sun: Prolonged sun exposure triggers the production of melanin as a protective mechanism, resulting in sunspots and other pigmentation issues.
Hormonal Changes: Hormonal fluctuations, often experienced during pregnancy or due to certain medical conditions, can lead to the formation of pigmentation, notably melasma.
Genetic Predisposition: Your genetics can influence how susceptible you are to developing pigmentation concerns.
Aging: As we age, the skin's natural processes can become compromised, leading to the uneven distribution of melanin and pigmentation problems.
What are the different types of Pigmentation?
We address a range of pigmentation concerns at our clinic, including:
Freckles: These small, flat, brown spots are typically caused by sun exposure and genetic factors.
Lentigo/Sunspots: Darker, more defined spots that result from excessive sun exposure over the years.
Melasma: A common pigmentation condition triggered by hormonal changes, often appearing as larger patches of darkened skin.
Hori's Nevus: Also known as acquired bilateral nevus of Ota-like macules (ABNOM), it presents as gray-blue patches on the cheeks and temples.
