Skin Pigmentation Treatment Before and After

Causes of skin pigmentation

Several factors can lead to the development of skin pigmentation, such as:

• Aging
• Family history
• Hormone changes
• Pregnancy
• Prolonged sun exposure
• Skin trauma
• Use of certain medications

Treatment options

During your consultation, we will check your health history and will discuss the following treatment options:

• Laser treatment: Lasers work by targeting melanin, a substance that gives colour to your skin. It heats the melanin in your skin until it’s broken into pieces. This in turn reduces your skin discoloration.
• Lightening creams: Creams can be applied to affected areas to reduce discoloration. They work by inhibiting enzymes that produce melanin, resulting in smoother and rejuvenated skin.
• Chemical peel: This treatment makes use of special acids to peel away your skin. By removing the outermost layer of your skin, the abnormal discoloration is diminished.
• Skin Needling: This minimally invasive procedure makes use of a special needle to create very small wounds on your outer skin layer. This causes new healthy skin cells to replace your damaged skin. The appearance of the treated area will improve once your wounds are completely healed.
