Pigmentation
Skin tone and complexion is always an area that patients ask about how to improve.
In most cases simple good skincare regimes with enriched vitamin C and a good sunblock can suffice.
More problematic pigmentation that can be due to issues such as:
- sun damage
- melasma
- choelasma
These can prove far more difficult to treat.
Sun damage in fairer skin types responds well to vitamin A and Hydroquinone creams as well as skin peels and certain laser treatments.
Melasma and choelasma which are these patchy areas of pigmentation typically in darker skin types that occur on the forehead and upper lip areas can often run in families, be as a result of the oral contraceptive pill, and pregnancy. These conditions are not worrying but can be a great nuisance to a lot of people.
Treatments and expectations have to discussed with doctors to attain the best results as in some cases treatment could make the pigmentation worse.
