Pigmentation issues like dark spots, sun freckles, and melasma can affect your skin’s appearance and confidence. At Paavai Hospital, we specialize in effective eye and skin care treatments tailored to reduce pigmentation and promote healthier, glowing skin. Read on to learn more about the causes of pigmentation and how our treatments can help. What is Pigmentation? Pigmentation refers to the coloring of the skin, determined by melanin. When melanin is produced unevenly or excessively, it can lead to dark spots or an uneven skin tone—commonly known as hyperpigmentation. Common Types of Pigmentation Sunspots: Dark spots caused by UV exposure. Melasma: Hormonal changes leading to brown or grayish patches, often on the face. Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH): Dark spots after acne or skin injury. Freckles: Small, brown spots usually triggered by sun exposure. Causes of Pigmentation Sun Exposure: UV rays stimulate melanin production, leading to pigmentation. Hormonal Changes: Pregnancy or hormonal therapies can trigger melasma. Genetics: Family history may increase your risk. Skin Injury: Acne scars and other injuries can cause post-inflammatory pigmentation. Effective Treatments at Paavai Hospital Laser Treatments: Advanced lasers like Q-Switch ND-YAG target and break down excess melanin. Chemical Peels: These exfoliate the skin, promoting cell turnover and reducing pigmentation. Microneedling: Stimulates collagen and helps lighten dark spots. Topical Treatments: Creams with retinoids and vitamin C can lighten dark spots. Sun Protection: Daily sunscreen application prevents further pigmentation.
