Skin Concerns

Pigmentation

Pigmentation causes uneven dark patches or spots when your skin produces too much melanin. Sun exposure, hormones, and inflammation are the most common triggers. Where the pigment sits in your skin determines which treatment will be most effective.

What You Can Do For Pigmentation

Start with a gentle skincare routine tailored to your skin type. Use a mild cleanser, appropriate moisturizer, and broad-spectrum sunscreen daily. Avoid harsh products that may irritate your skin. Consider consulting a dermatologist for a personalized treatment plan.

UV exposure, pollution, stress, and diet all play significant roles in skin health. Understanding the root causes helps in choosing the most effective treatment approach.
