What causes Pigmentation?
Excessive sunlight exposure, congenital conditions, hormonal effects with some medications such as oral contraceptive pill, pregnancy, some medical conditions and trauma.
What is Skin Pigmentation?
Pigmentation can be epidermal (Superficial) , Dermal (Deep) or Mixed (Superficial & Deep). We can determine the type of Pigmentation at Nitai Medical & Cosmetic Centre using a Woods lamp.
There is a deposition of abnormal melanin. It is very important to get your condition checked by a medical doctor to confirm the diagnosis and exclude any underlying cancer.
How do we treat Skin Pigmentation?
This will depend on the classification of the condition:
Sunscreens
Sunscreens are of paramount importance as this prevents pigmentation getting worse with further exposure to UV radiation.
Lightening Agents
Lightening Agents help to gradually fade the pigmentation. It is used in conjunction with other treatments. Skin Peels
We have a series of skin Peels which also gently but gradually reduce pigmentation.
