What causes pigment problems?
Pigment problems are common, but their causes vary. For example, skin pigment problems can be caused by sun exposure or from medications that you take. When you have a pigment problem, it means your skin is either too light or too dark for your natural skin tone. Your skin color may be uneven across different parts of your body and have areas where the color is lighter or darker than the rest of your body. If you think you might have a pigmentation problem, then try to figure out what is causing it and how to fix it.
What are my treatment options?
Pigmentation treatment, or dermabrasion, is a type of skin resurfacing that can lighten the appearance of scarring and remove age spots. A dermatologist will use a device called a microdermabrasion machine to gently abrade your skin. This may sound like something painful, but it’s actually just an extremely fine sandpaper used to scrape off the top layer of your skin. The process leaves you with fresh, smooth skin without any sign of scarring or discoloration.
What are some other side effects?
Many patients who undergo pigmentation treatment will experience some side effects. These may include:
- Temporary darkening of the skin
- Blistering and crusting around the treated area
- Swelling and redness around the treated area
- Flaking skin or peeling skin
Can I do it myself?
Pigmentation is often caused by sun exposure, pregnancy, and inflammation. Most of the time, pigmentation is not a cause for concern. However, it can be an indication of skin cancer or another medical condition. That’s why it’s important to see a dermatologist to determine the cause and assess the severity.
Apart from pigmentation treatment, our team also other treatment such as Non- Surgical Facelift, Powder Brows, Intense Hydration, and Non-Surgical Lipo Sculpting.
