Laser treatment can remove unwanted pigmentation in the skin

Skin pigmentation is a common skin problem all over the world. The word pigmentation refers to skin discoloration, and it is more likely to appear in people with light-colored skin than those with darker skin tones. Pigmentation can show up on the face or body, and will appear more prominently as we age, causing many people to search for a way to improve it.

There are a number of reasons why pigmentation can become visible on the skin;

Sun exposure

Most of the pigmentation occurs as a result of excessive exposure to the harmful rays of the sun. Skin reacts to the sun’s UV (ultraviolet) rays, and the effects of sun-damaged skin will increase with age. The best way to prevent pigmentation from occurring is to use sun protection every day, especially on the face. Pigmentation can affect people of all ages and skin types.

hyperpigmentation

There are cells in the skin that produce melanin, which is responsible for hair and eye color, as well as skin color. Extra melanin is produced when cells are damaged or unhealthy, resulting in blotchy or inconsistent dark skin coloration. More sun exposure will also darken any previous areas of hyperpigmentation.

Hypopigmentation

Pale, almost white patches appear on the skin when there is a decrease in melanin. Vitiligo and albinism are skin conditions that cause hypopigmentation, for which, unfortunately, there is no cure.

Trauma

Trauma to the skin, such as burns, acne, infection, or inflammation, can cause increased pigment production. Skin peels and microdermabrasion when used inappropriately, and chemical treatments can have an adverse effect when applied incorrectly.

hormonal pigmentation

Women taking oral contraceptive tablets may sometimes notice pigmentation occurring. It usually develops slowly soon after starting a course of oral contraception, or if you change brands or doses, but it can also occur after taking them for a long time.

Laser skin resurfacing, also known as fractional skin resurfacing, is considered to be a highly effective treatment for fading or removing unwanted pigmentation and skin irregularities such as:

• acne scars
• freckles
• Spider or thread veins
• sun damage
