What is pigmentation?

Pigmentation is a descriptive term rather than a diagnosis. It can appear in different forms, such as sun spots, melasma, or post-inflammatory pigmentation. Causes may include sun exposure, inflammation, or other skin changes. Pigmentation can be present in both the superficial and deeper layers of the skin. Darker, more defined pigmentation is often superficial, while lighter or patchier pigmentation may sit deeper.

How can I treat my pigmentation?

Management options vary depending on the type of pigmentation. Common approaches include:

Medical-grade topical creams
Often the first step in pigmentation care, these are used alongside daily sun protection.
Chemical peels
These treatments act on the upper layers of the skin and can help fade the appearance of pigmentation.
Medical lasers
Laser treatments can target beneath the skin’s surface to address certain types of pigmentation.

Your practitioner will recommend suitable options following an assessment.

FAQs

What results can I expect from pigmentation treatment?

You should start noticing a more even skin tone from 4-8 weeks. Results are largely dependent on proper diagnosis and adhering to your treatment plan, and requires dedication and patience to achieve good results.

With deeper pigmentation such as melasma, it is considered a medical condition that can only be controlled and not cured. Regardless of diagnosis, prevention of your pigmentation worsening must commence as soon as possible.
