Hyperpigmentation is a frequently seen skin condition where certain skin areas turn darker than their surrounding areas. The term “Hyperpigmentation” itself means more pigment production.

Melanin, the skin pigment in these areas, is produced in excess, causing such darker zones. Pigmentation spots can be due to various reasons, including sun exposure, chemicals, environmental factors, genetic causes, associated conditions, ageing, and lifestyle.

The pigmentation spots can make one very conscious about their looks. A wide range of skin pigmentation treatments can help them reduce dark spots and pigmentation scars.

Causes of Pigmentation

The skin gets its colour from the pigmentary element called melanin. Melanin is produced by the skin cells to give the skin its natural colour. When the skin cells get damaged, the skin cells produce more melanin than required causing darker spots in certain areas of the skin. Some of the reasons causing pigmentation issues are:

• Genetic predisposition of genes causing skin disorders like freckles.
• Hormonal changes during puberty, pregnancy (Melasma), or menopause.
• Skin damage by cuts, wounds, burns, or even acne.
• Medications that can lead to skin sensitivity
• Skin damage due to excessive exposure to the suns rays causes solar lentigines.
• Thyroid disorders,
• Adrenal disorders,
• Vitamin deficiency (deficiency of Vitamin B12, Folic Acid).

Symptoms of Pigmentation

The symptoms of pigmentation can include the appearance of dark spots, patches, or uneven skin tone on the face or body. These spots or patches may be more noticeable in areas that are exposed to the sun or have been affected by hormonal changes.

Eligible candidate for pigmentation treatment?

Eligible candidates for pigmentation treatment are individuals who are experiencing dark spots, patches, or uneven skin tone due to hyperpigmentation, melasma, or other skin conditions. It is important to consult with a qualified and experienced dermatologist to determine if you are a suitable candidate for this treatment.

Benefits of pigmentation treatment

A range of pigmentation treatments such as laser resurfacing, chemical peels, photo rejuvenation, microdermabrasion, over-the-counter creams, and medications can help diminish the oddly looking dark spots on the face, hands, legs, and neck.

Different Options for Pigmentation Treatment in Gurgaon

Hyperpigmentation is a very common skin woe that can be treated through different treatment options.

Face peels:

These are exfoliating treatments that eliminate the top dead skin layer of the skin to help new skin cell generation. These treatments even out the skin tone and replenish the skin from within while diminishing pigmentation scars and hyperpigmentation symptoms.

Some of the common skin peels include fruit peels, salicylic acid peels, kojic peels, vitamin C peels, and azelaic acid peels.

Chemical peels:

Chemical peels use skin-acceptable acid concentrations to reduce hyperpigmentation concerns. These peels penetrate the deeper skin layers, including the dermal layer, to give better outcomes.

Skin resurfacing through lasers:

Laser skin resurfacing utilises light beams to reduce pigmentation problems. The two types of lasers used for this purpose are:

• Ablative lasers- are the most intense and can resurface deeper skin layers.
• Non-ablative lasers- Target the dermis layer, promote collagen production, and tighten the skin.

The surgeon will assess the skins nature and condition before deciding the best laser option for your skin.

Intense pulse light (IPL) therapy:

IPL therapy involves non-ablative lasers. Commonly known as photo facials, IPL therapy boosts collagen generation in the dermal skin layer. It gradually reduces pigmentation problems, like dark spots, sun spots, and skin discoloration.

IPL therapy also works on wrinkles, enlarged pores, and spider veins to reduce these issues. However, IPL therapy works best when done in multiple sessions.

Microdermabrasion:

It is a superficial treatment that works only on the upper skin layer, i.e., the epidermis, to eliminate superficial scars. The surgeon conducts this treatment with the help of a rotating abrasive device That moves over the external skin layer to cleanse and rejuvenate. Multiple sessions can benefit the effective reduction of pigmentation spots.

Dermabrasion:

Similar to microdermabrasion, dermabrasion exfoliates the epidermal layer. However, the effects of dermabrasion can penetrate down to the dermis. This treatment can smoothen wrinkles and even skin tone while improving skin texture and reducing pigmentation scars- acne spots, injury scars, age spots, sun spots, and chicken pox scars at a faster rate than microdermabrasion. Like microdermabrasion, this treatment also requires multiple sessions for an effective spot reduction.
