Melanin levels (natural pigment) in your skin and your natural skin color are affected by skin pigmentation disorders. Changes in skin pigmentation can lighten or darken the color of your skin. Pigmentation disorders include melasma, freckles, vitiligo, and pigmented birthmarks, to name a few.

Sun damage is the most common cause of hyperpigmentation. It could, however, reflect underlying issues or be caused by pharmaceutical adverse effects. If you've gotten hyperpigmentation as a result of poor skin care or sun exposure, you can try several home remedies to help remove the pigmentation. While they may not be as effective as medical therapies, the results may be noticeable over time.

What Are The Symptoms?

Pigmentation frequently has obvious signs and symptoms. Pigmentation is a frequent skin condition that can be caused by a variety of factors. Melasma, a skin disorder that causes pigmentation, is one of these reasons.

• Melasma causes dark and discolored areas.
• Melasma causes dark and discolored areas on the face that are symmetrical and have a nearly identical pattern on both sides.
• These patches can be found on the neck, forearms, and other regions of the body that are exposed to the sun.

How Is Skin Pigmentation Caused? 

UV radiation is the most common cause of excessive melanin synthesis. UV rays, however, do not cause instant harm. So, if you've suddenly gotten pigmentation on your face, it's most likely the result of skin damage from a decade ago.

Do not be perplexed if you have used sunscreen your entire life and yet have skin discoloration. Other factors that may contribute to skin pigmentation include:

• Injury to the skin results in skin damage (also called post-inflammatory pigmentation)
• Changes in hormones during pregnancy (melasma)
• Rashes on the skin (rosacea, psoriasis, eczema, contact dermatitis)
• Infections of the skin (acne, ringworm, tinea versicolor, candidiasis)
• Medical problems ( Lupus, cyanosis, untreated or undiagnosed diabetes)

Actinic keratosis, squamous cell carcinoma, basal cell carcinoma, and melanoma are among skin malignancies that can produce skin pigmentation.

If you detect any changes in your skin color, you should see a doctor. At Skinfinity, consult the best skin specialist in Delhi NCR. 

What’s At Skinfinity? 

Even though you can try out home remedies to get rid of skin pigmentation, they may not fade the pigmentation spots completely. These home remedies also provide slow results. You must check in with your doctor to get an opinion on whether your condition is medical or not. In case it is, we at Skinfinity are here to provide you with a wide range of options. These include: 

1. Microdermabrasion: For its usage and long-term outcomes on all skin tones, microdermabrasion for hyperpigmentation is a highly recommended treatment. Microdermabrasion is also gentler on the skin since it doesn't use harsh chemicals – instead, it uses a water-soluble component like glycolic acid that doesn't cause tissue damage; it has a faster recovery time after the procedure; and it could be one of the most affordable treatments available.
2. Chemical Peels: Chemical peels are a great way to get rid of hyperpigmentation. Chemical peels, also known as THE PERFECT DERMA PEEL, are a combination of salicylic acid, kojic acid, TCA, retinoic acid, Phenol Glutathione, and Vitamin C. It works wonders for aged skin, acne, melasma, and hyperpigmentation.
3. Laser Treatments: Hyperpigmentation can be reduced with a number of laser treatments. The majority of them do so by directing laser beams at the skin's afflicted area. This procedure uses ablative lasers to renew the skin by resurfacing its upper layers, allowing new skin to grow while also boosting collagen production.
4. Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) Treatment: The IPL therapy decreases sunspots, freckles, uneven skin tone, and surface pigmentation by using targeted pulses of broad-spectrum light. IPL treatment for pigmentation reduction is, without a doubt, one of the quickest and most straightforward methods of treating skin imperfections. IPL also targets a dark pigment known as melanin. The treatment removes dark spots, freckles, and other discoloration caused by UV exposure by breaking up melanin cells. Following therapy, the black patches may either scab over and flake away, or the lymphatic system will naturally remove them.
