Pigmentation Treatment
Pigmentation Treatment
Pigmentation implies the colouring of the skin. If you have a skin pigmentation disorder, it can cause changes to your skin’s colour. Melanin is made by cells in your skin, and it is a pigment that is responsible for the colour of your skin. It is good to have healthy skin, but it is great to have blemish-free skin as it adds more glory to you. Moreover, you would get an aesthetic appeal, and you feel confident from within. However, even after taking great care, sometimes your skin may not be in its best condition and develops pigmentation as a result of extreme sun exposure, stress, and several other reasons
The most common target areas where pigmentation can occur are the face, hands, arms, back, neck, feet, etc. At Magnifico Clinic, we can treat pigmentation of any kind. Our skin doctors have immense experience in their field and can provide the best possible solution for your problem after careful observation of your skin.
Different Types of Pigmentation
As we know the major component responsible for our skin’s colour is a pigment called melanin. It is usually produced by specific skin cells. If these skin cells are disturbed by genetics, sun exposure, or hormonal imbalance, then pigmentations start to cluster in patches in several areas of your face causing dark spots.
The different types of pigmentation are:
- Freckles
- Melasma
- Age Spots
- Hori’s naevus
- Solar lentigines
- Post-acne skin pigmentation
- Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation
Causes of Pigmentation
There are several reasons that cause pigmentation such as:
- Stress
- Melasma
- Injury
- UV radiation
- Drug reaction
- Allergic rashes
- Genetic factors
- Hormonal imbalances
- Autoimmune disorder
- Specific health problems
- Usage of different fairness creams
Treatments for Pigmentation
There are numerous skin pigmentation treatments right now that work to lighten and remove pigmentation from the skin. Depending on the type of pigmentation and the severity of the problem, our dermatologists may recommend one of several treatments.
Some of the best treatments for pigmentation are listed below:
Chemical Peels:
Chemical peels are widely regarded as the most effective treatment for facial pigmentation. Chemical peels help even out the skin and reduce pigment spots. Some pigmentation will need multiple chemical peel sessions, while others can be resolved in a single session. It entirely depends on the severity of the pigmentation on your skin. Special precautions must be taken during chemical peel treatment as the improper procedure can result in pigment irregularities and scarring. In this method, a chemical peel solution is put on the skin. These chemicals remove the topmost layer of skin gently and aid in cellular renewal and restoration.
Microdermabrasion:
This procedure removes the skin’s topmost layer to remove uneven spots and pigmentation. To achieve the desired results, multiple sessions are required. This method exfoliates the skin by getting rid of damaged and dead skin cells. It treats dull and sun-damaged skin, leaving it radiant and refreshed. Acne, acne scars, dark spots, and, of course, hyperpigmentation are all common targets for this procedure. Since the uppermost damaged layer is removed, it reveals healthy skin. This procedure is simple, painless, and usually takes 30-40 minutes to complete.
Laser Toning:
This is a cutting-edge cosmetic treatment that can help treat a variety of skin conditions. This procedure is widely used to treat hyperpigmentation, fine lines, melasma, acne scars, and dark spots, and it results in better skin colour and texture. As it promotes sub-dermal production of elastin and collagen protein, this treatment produces a promising result. After the treatment, your skin will appear brighter, plumper, rejuvenated, and even-toned. This treatment works by naturally removing excess melanin pigment and controlling and managing the pigmentation present in the skin, which can cause dark spots. The use of laser toning treatment is determined by the appearance of pigmented spots and lesions in the skin. Our specialists will analyse your skin before suggesting you the right treatment.
Topical Treatments:
Our dermatologists will analyse your skin type and the effect of pigmentation and then decide if this is the right treatment option for you or not. But, topical treatments are a low-cost option to remove or lighten the pigmented spots. There are other treatments also available for pigmentation but these work the best compared to many other treatments.
