What Causes Pigmentation

Pigmentation is primarily caused by overproduction of melanin, which is the skin's natural color pigment. Common causes are the following:

Exposure to the sun

Menopause and other hormonal changes

Post-acne marks

Skin aging

Skin trauma or inflammation

Determining the primary causes allows for the most effective treatment.

Best Treatments for Pigmentation

Topical Pigment Correcting Creams and Serums.

Kojic acid, niacinamide, vitamin C, azelaic acid, and retinoids are some of the most effective dark spot and skin texture improves.

Chemical Peels

Skincare professionals use peels with either glycolic, salicylic, or lactic acid to exfoliate the upper skin layers which encourages skin renewal and the growth of fresh skin.

Laser Therapy

Advanced melanin-removal laser treatment such as Q-switch or fractional lasers are able to clear skin of melanin deposits efficiently in about three treatment sessions.

Microneedling with PRP

PRP microneedling is a collagen boosting treatment with a collagen booster that can reduce pigmentation.
