Why does Pigmentation occur?
Pigmentation occurs when the skin produces excess melanin, the natural pigment responsible for skin color. This can happen when melanocytes are stimulated by different internal and external factors.
Common triggers are –
- Sun exposure – UV radiation can stimulate melanin production and lead to tanning, sun spots and persistent pigmentation.
- Hormonal changes – Pregnancy, hormonal fluctuations and certain medications can contribute to conditions such as melasma.
- Acne & Inflammation – Healing acne, rashes or skin injuries can leave behind dark marks known as post-inflammatory pigmentation.
- Skin irritation – Aggressive products, over-exfoliation or unsuitable treatments may trigger pigmentation, particularly in sensitive skin.
- Genetic & skin-type factors- Some individuals are naturally more prone to pigmentation.
- Ageing – Cumulative sun exposure over the years can result in more visible pigmentation and uneven tone.
Possible adverse effects-
Pigmentation treatments are generally well tolerated when selected and performed appropriately, but temporary skin reactions can occur. Depending on the treatment used, possible effects may include:
- Mild redness or warmth
- Tingling or mild stinging
- Temporary swelling or sensitivity
- Stinging, tingling or mild discomfort
- Dryness, peeling or flaking
- Temporary darkening or lightening of the treated area
- Increased sensitivity to sunlight
- Rarely, blistering, burns, scarring or infection
- Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation or hypopigmentation, particularly in individuals prone to pigmentation
Note:
Results and side effects vary depending on the treatment,
skin type, pigmentation condition and individual response.
A professional skin assessment is recommended before treatment.
