Pigmentation

There is no easy fix. We understand the focus on getting rid of spots as fast as possible, but the first and foremost important step is to prevent the formation of further pigmentation and to repair an impaired skin barrier. If your skin shows diffused redness, you will have an impaired barrier. This needs immediate attention. Otherwise any hyper-pigmentation treatment will fail, or even worsen the condition.

What causes pigmentation?

The skin’s pigment is produced by a specific skin cell, the melanocyte. This pigment, called melanin, is responsible for our skin, eye and hair colour, but it also acts as a natural sunscreen. That’s why you tan in summer.

Hyper-pigmentation is caused by excess production of melanin. This is generally triggered by sun damage and inflammation, but certain medications and hormones can also be a cause. Sun damage will result in age spots, but pregnancy or certain contraceptives can trigger melasma/chloasma.

Prevention is always better than the cure, but don't fear we can reduce pigmentation and prevent it from getting worse!
