We all love our skin and do our best to take care of our skin and look good. In spite of our best efforts, we may have pigmentation, uneven skin complexion or some patches on our face. The majority of pigmentation concerns result in discoloured spots of skin that look darker than the surrounding areas, causing the skin tone to be uneven. Do you also have uneven skin tone, hyperpigmentation and little dark spots or patches?

Hyperpigmentation is a frequent and common problem that impacts your skin complexion. It can show on your skin by way of spots, freckles, melasma, sunspots, acne marks etc.

We will explain helpful treatments for skin pigmentation that are highly effective, safe and are scientifically-proven and followed by Dermatologists. These treatments help in treating skin pigmentation problems and help in getting younger, glowing skin with brighter skin tone and complexion.

The following are the commonest forms of pigmentation issues:

• Melasma: Many women have large and uneven patches on the skin on face. These may happen during pregnancy. They generally occur on cheeks, area around nose and lips and forehead. These patches tend to get darker with exposure to the sun and frequently come back. This condition is also called mask of pregnancy or Chloasma.
• Sun spots or Age Spots: Also known as solar lentigines or liver spots, these appear mostly on the skin which is regularly exposed to sun. These are dark coloured or brown spots on the skin and show on face, chest, shoulders, and arms. They emerge as a result of higher production of melanin due to damage caused by long exposures to sun and age-related degeneration of skin.
• Freckles: These are harmless dark coloured spots on the face also called as ephelides. These happen due to extra pigment and may happen in young ages. These occur on face, arms, chest and neck. They are genetic and worsened by sun burns and sun exposure.
• Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH): PIH manifests as dark spots or patches on the skin following a skin inflammation such as acne or eczema. PIH usually happens on the face & neck. In some situations, it can also happen elsewhere on the body.
• Suntan: Due to prolonged exposure to the sun’s damaging rays, hyperpigmentation may develop in common locations like the face, neck, and arms. Sunburns may result from UV-induced skin damage.
• Lichen planus pigmentosus (LPP): This ailment causes broad, grey patches to appear on sun-exposed body parts. In dark-skinned people LPP causes persistent, tenacious pigmentation, usually on their face and neck.

Treatments for Pigmentation

Apart from oral and topical medication, we at Skin Hair & You treat hyperpigmentation through following procedures that treat pigmentation effectively and painlessly giving brighter skin tone and complexion. We have successfully treated hundreds of pigmentation affected people. You can see the reduction in pigmentation after only a couple of sessions in a patient treated at our clinic in the before & after images below.

• Chemical Peels
  Chemical peels facilitate in reducing pigmentation, reducing melanin build-up, and revealing noticeably glowing and brighter skin. Depending on your skin type and the extent of your pigmentation, a treatment plan with repeated sessions is offered by the doctors at Skin Hair & You.
• Laser Toning
  This cutting-edge technique employs a laser beam to break up extra melanin into smaller particles, which the skin’s immune system gradually gets rid of to help you regain your beautiful complexion. It is excellent for treating patches of pigmentation, including sun spots, melasma and acne scars on the face. It also helps in reducing tanning, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), and Lichen planus pigmentosus. At Skin Hair & You, we use painless and efficient Q-switch Nd:YAG laser for treating pigmentation. Depending on the extent of the pigmentation as well as the size of the target area, you might need six to eight sessions to regain a lighter and brighter skin tone.
• Photo Facial
  Intense Pulsed Light, commonly referred to as IPL, is a successful method of treating skin pigmentation. The procedure is also commonly known as PhotoFacial. IPL uses high energy laser pulses to penetrate the top layers of skin and increases collagen formation to improve skin texture. It is a very safe and efficient method for getting rid of undesirable freckles, age spots, skin discolouration and pigmentation. IPL pigmentation treatment is painless and has little impact on the surrounding skin. Four to six IPL sessions may be required spaced 4-6 weeks apart.
• HydraFacial
  One of the best alternatives for those with melasma is the HydraFacial procedure, which helps to gently rejuvenate the skin and enhance its health and texture. The procedure involves multiple steps which includes cleansing, exfoliating, moisturising, and nourishing the skin. The treatment’s exfoliating action scrubs away this layer of impurities. Multiple sessions may be required depending on the extent and severity of the pigmentation.
