What is Skin Pigmentation?

Pigmentation is a common skin concern that affects many individuals, regardless of age or skin type. It occurs when the skin produces too much melanin, resulting in patches of skin that appear darker than the surrounding skin. A variety of factors, including genetics, sun exposure, hormonal changes, and certain medications, can cause this.

At Jennifer Carly Aesthetic Medicine, we offer a range of treatments to help address various types of pigmentation.

Types of Pigmentation

Types of Pigmentation

Understanding the type of pigmentation you have is key to choosing the right treatment. Below are the most common types of pigmentation and how they develop.

1. Freckles

Freckles are small, light to dark brown spots that appear on areas exposed to the sun, like the face, arms, and shoulders. They form due to increased melanin production triggered by sun exposure. People with fair skin are more likely to develop freckles, and they often darken during summer and fade in winter. While they are generally harmless, many people seek ways to lighten or reduce their appearance.

2. Age Spots (Liver Spots

Age spots, also called liver spots, are flat, dark brown or black patches that appear on sun-exposed areas like the face, hands, and arms. They develop over time due to long-term sun exposure, which causes excess melanin production. These spots are common in people in their 30s and 40s, but younger individuals who spend a lot of time in the sun can also get them. Although age spots are harmless, many people seek treatment to restore a youthful, even complexion.

3. Melasma

Melasma is a common skin condition that causes brown or greyish-brown patches on the forehead, cheeks, and upper lip. It is often linked to hormonal changes, such as those caused by pregnancy, birth control pills, or hormone therapy. Sun exposure can worsen melasma, making it more noticeable. While melasma is not harmful, it can be challenging to treat, and many people opt for professional treatments to reduce its appearance.

4. Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH)

Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) occurs after skin inflammation or injury. It appears as dark spots or patches left behind by acne, eczema, burns, or cuts. This happens when the skin produces excess melanin as a response to irritation or trauma. PIH can fade over time, but some cases take months or even years to clear. Professional treatments can speed up the process and help restore an even skin tone.
