PIGMENTATION
Pigmentation, commonly called melasma, are brown blotches on the skin. It is found commonly on the face, neck, hands and back. It is a chronic problem, lasting years and often worsens, but there are now exciting breakthroughs in the treatment of it.
Pigmentation occurs due to a number of factors.
Some causes of pigmentation are:
- sun exposure and inadequate sun protection.
- hormonal ie pregnancy, use of birth control pills
- intense heat
(eg hot showers, hair dryers, hot working environment)
- post inflammatory eg after acne
PREVENTION :
1) Use broadspectrum sunscreens with an SPF 30+ at least twice daily.
2) Avoid sun exposure. Use broad hats or scarves to protect against harmful uv rays.
3) Use anti-oxidants such as Ovelle to increase resistance to sun
4) Do not pick at pimples or scabs
Pigmentation requires both in-office as well as home treatments. We do IPL treatments, moderate to deep chemical peels, and microdermabrasion.
The client can use our excellent range of skin brightening treatments at home. We also stock high SPF sunscreens specifically for pigmentation. Pigmentation is a resistant chronic condition that needs treatment for an extended period of time.
