Common Causes for Pigmentation
-
Sun Damage
As important as Vitamin D is for our overall health, spending too much time in the sun can lead to skin pigmentation. This is because in order to protect our skin from the UV rays, we produce an extra layer of melanin, resulting in some areas producing more than others. Fortunately, there are ways to minimize sun damage such as applying proper SPF and covering up when the sun’s UV rays are strong.
-
Acne Scarring
Many people suffer from acne, either at a young age or even into their adulthood. Although acne eventually goes away, it can cause discolouration on your skin when new skin cells have grown over past blemishes. There are multiple ways to treat acne scarring such applying topical moisturizers and serums, undergoing a Chemical Peel or Micro-Needling.
-
Hormonal Changes
Pigmentation can sometimes be directly correlated to your body's natural changing hormones. This could be caused by a change in medication, a genetic hormonal condition or the most common condition, pregnancy. Dark spots can be found anywhere on the body and can be treated with the same technologies used for acne scarring and sun damage.
Treatments For You
We all want a clear and even skin tone. Unfortunately Pigmentation is a major concern for people who have any form of skin condition, sun damage, acne scarring or age spots. Fortunately, there are ways to reduce the look of Hyperpigmentation and make your skin appear more even.
Dermal Filler
Dermal Filler
Dermal Fillers are an effective and safe non-invasive, non-surgical alternative to facelifts and plastic surgery. Dermal Fillers are gel-like injectables that help restore skin volume and smooth out fine lines and creases around the chin, nose, and mouth.
Micro-Needling
Micro-Needling
After the age of 35, our bodies slow the production of collagen in our skin. Micro-needling is a cosmetic procedure that involves pricking the skin with tiny sterilized needles to create small wounds that result in greater collagen and elastin production.
