What Causes Pigmentation?
Pigmentation, or skin discoloration, is a common concern that can detract from your skin’s natural beauty. We are one of the leading skin clinic’s treating pigmentation on the Gold Coast and a question we often get asked is, what causes the changes in skin tone leading to pigmentation, sun damage or Melasma?
Here are the key factors:
Sun Exposure: The primary culprit, UV rays stimulate melanin production, leading to sunspots and uneven skin tone.
Hormonal Changes: Conditions like melasma are often triggered by hormonal fluctuations, common during pregnancy or with certain medications.
Ageing: As we age, our skin can develop age spots or liver spots, especially in areas frequently exposed to the sun.
Genetic Factors: Some people are more prone to pigmentation due to their genetic makeup.
Inflammation: Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation can occur after injury or acne, leaving dark spots.
How to Treat Pigmentaiton Concerns
IPL & BBL Therapy:
Similar to IPL but instead using different settings to be able to pass over the skin multiple times, offering a less painful solution, as well as amazing results at targeting lines, wrinkles & sagging skin due to the stimulation of collagen & elastin fibres, with next to no downtime.
