Pigmentation

Skin rituals

Pigmentation, or hyperpigmentation, is a common skin concern where areas of the skin become darker due to excess melanin production. Pigmentation can appear as dark spots, patches, or blotches and may be triggered by sun exposure, hormonal changes, inflammation, or injury. At Skin Rituals Aesthetic Clinic, we offer advanced treatments to effectively reduce pigmentation, leaving you with an even-toned and radiant complexion.

 

What causes Pigmentation?

Pigmentation can occur for a variety of reasons. Understanding the root cause is essential for determining the right treatment plan.

  • Sun Exposure (Photoaging): Prolonged sun exposure stimulates melanin production, leading to sunspots, also known as solar lentigines or age spots.
  • Hormonal Changes: Conditions like melasma are triggered by hormonal fluctuations, particularly during pregnancy or when taking birth control pills.
  • Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH): After an injury, acne, or inflammation, the skin may develop dark spots as part of the healing process.
  • Genetics: Certain individuals are more prone to developing pigmentation due to their genetic makeup.
  • Aging:
    As we age, pigmentation irregularities such as age spots become more common.
