Pigmentation & Sun Damage
WHAT IS Pigmentation & Sun DAMAGE?
Pigmentation refers to the colour of the skin, determined by the presence of melanin. Sun damage occurs when exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun accelerates melanin production, leading to various forms of pigmentation irregularities. Sun damage can result in dark spots, freckles, or more extensive concerns like sunburn and uneven skin tone. Prolonged UV exposure contributes to premature ageing, causing wrinkles and fine lines. Protecting the skin with sunscreen, wearing protective clothing, and seeking shade helps prevent sun damage, minimizing pigmentation issues and promoting overall skin health.
HOW IS IT TREATED?
Pigmentation issues can be treated through various methods. Topical treatments with ingredients like hydroquinone, vitamin C, or retinoids can lighten dark spots and even out skin tone.
Chemical peels, microdermabrasion, and laser therapy help exfoliate the skin and reduce pigmentation, laser treatments target melanin breaking down excess pigmentation. Regular use of broad-spectrum sunscreen prevents further pigmentation by shielding the skin from harmful UV rays.
Consulting with a skin specialist is crucial to determine the most suitable treatment plan based on the type and severity of pigmentation issues, ensuring effective and safe results.
