Pigmentation: Here’s Everything you Must Know About this Common Skin Problem

Have you noticed some changes in your skin color and tone recently? Has your skin turned patchy with some discoloration on the surface? Any of these signs could be the result of “Pigmentation”, also known as hyperpigmentation. Whether caused by external factors like overexposure to sun or induced by hormonal variations, skin dullness and dark spots affect confidence and create despair and dread in the beauty conscious. Having said that, the post discusses the types of pigmentation and its treatment in detail.

Types of Pigmentation

Superficial Pigmentation

Superficial pigmentation is the result of exposure to harmful UV rays for long hours. It develops on the outermost layer of the skin. This sun-induced problem creates:

• Patchy and uneven skin tone or
  
• Age spots/freckles
  

While age spots are flat, brown, sharp-edged abrasions associated with aging, freckles are red, yellow, brown or black circular patches that are the result of too much sun exposure.

Dark Pigmentation

Dark pigmentation develops on the dermal or deep layers of the skin. It creates age-related patches or causes Melasma on the face.

Treatments

Pigmentation reduction system

Pigmentation reduction system targets the skin superficially to give a clear, flawless, and even complexion. Intense clarity peel, derma peel, and botanical actives are used to exfoliate the skin gently. These peels have depigmentation and skin lightening properties that help reduce the uneven skin torn and dark spots.

Insta clarity laser action

Insta Clarity Laser is an outright effective and safe method to alleviate deep pigmentation issue. An invisible beam of light focuses on the hyperpigmentation marks keeping the surrounding skin unaffected. The pigment sops up the laser energy which is in turn absorbed by the body. A Q-Switched laser device is used to perform the procedure. It minimizes dark patches and makes the skin tone even. The treatment is safe and targets the brown pigment or melanin present succinctly. One can achieve a visibly clearer skin in just one sitting.

Lighten and De-tan facial

The Lighten and De-tan facial alleviates the sun’s harmful effects, neutralizes the skin hyperpigmentation issues and gives you a balanced and glowing complexion. The procedure involves a superior exfoliation session using Micro-Dermabrasion. The next step involves taking off the free radicals through a De-tan process. Aloe Vera is later applied to restore and moisturize the skin. Antox Vit-C serum, which has plenty of Vitamin C is also applied. Lastly, an Advanced Facial Mask is applied to nourish the skin with biowhite. The result is a lightened complexion and beautiful glow.

The Wrap Up

Pigmentation is a common problem among 90 percent women in India. That’s not all. A significant number of women experience stress, anxiety, and depression related to hyperpigmentation.
