Pigmentation Treatments
Pigmentation, often referred to as dark spots, age spots, or hyperpigmentation, is a common skin condition that becomes more noticeable with age. The natural pigment that gives skin its color, melanin, is produced in excess in these dark areas. Pigmentation may not be harmful, but it might have an impact on your self-esteem and appearance.
What Causes Pigmentation?
Pigmentation can develop for a variety of reasons. Here are the most common types:Sunspots (Lentigines)
Long-term exposure to the sun can cause sunspots, especially in older people. These black patches typically show up on parts of the face, arms, and hands that are exposed to sunlight on a regular basis.
Melasma
One major factor contributing to melasma is hormonal changes. It’s commonly seen in women during pregnancy, menstruation, or due to birth control use. Thyroid disorders and hormone therapy can also lead to this type of pigmentation.
Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH)
This occurs after the skin heals from injury or inflammation—like acne, burns, or aggressive cosmetic treatments. PIH leaves behind dark patches where the skin was previously irritated.
