What is Pigmentation?

‘Pigmentation’ refers to the coloration of the skin and has many potential causes.
It is caused by production of melanin – the pigment that imparts color to the skin, hair, and eyes.

Age spots, melasma, and vitiligo are examples of pigmentation diseases that can be brought on by an excess or shortage of melanin.

Types of Pigmentation

Age Spots

Small, flat, brown or black spots called age spots, sometimes known as liver spots or sunspots, commonly develop on the face, hands, arms, and shoulders.

They are more prevalent in older persons and are brought on by sun exposure.

Melasma

Melasma is a disorder that develops dark, erratic areas on the face, usually on the cheeks, forehead, and upper lip.

Often referred to as the ‘mask of pregnancy’, it most frequently affects women and is brought on by hormonal changes during pregnancy or birth control drugs.

Vitiligo

In the case of Vitiligo, regions of the skin lose their pigmentation, turning white or pale in hue.

Although the precise causation of vitiligo is unknown, an autoimmune condition is thought to be its root cause.

Treatments available at EHA Clinic

Fractional Lasers

A common cosmetic treatment called fractional laser therapy is used to treat a number of skin conditions, including pigmentation problems like age spots, sun damage, and hyperpigmentation. It functions by providing precise laser energy pulses to the deeper layers of the skin, which encourage the production of collagen and lessen the visibility of pigmentation problems.

During a fractional laser treatment, a device is used to deliver laser energy to the skin in a fractional pattern, creating tiny, controlled areas of thermal injury in the skin.

As a result of this procedure’s stimulation of the skin’s natural healing reaction, new collagen is produced, which over time causes pigmentation problems to gradually fade. For best results, the procedure usually requires several sessions.

Picosecond Lasers

In order to target and treat pigmentation problems in the face, such as age spots, sun damage, and hyperpigmentation, Picosecond Lasers use extremely brief light pulses. Picosecond Lasers, which release laser energy in picoseconds, or one trillionth of a second, are different from other laser technologies that use longer light pulses.

A Picosecond Laser treatment targets the pigment in the affected region by penetrating the skin with extremely brief light pulses. The pigment is broken up into tiny particles during this process, which the body’s natural processes then absorb.

The process is typically brief and painless, but it might take several sessions to achieve the best results.

Chemical Peels

In this procedure, the top layer of skin is stripped away to reveal the fresh, pigment-free skin beneath.

The ability to effectively treat a variety of pigmentation diseases, such as melasma and age spots, is one of its benefits.

Additionally, it is a non-invasive procedure with few adverse effects.

Cons include the possibility of high costs, the potential need for numerous sessions to produce the desired effects, and the possibility of redness, itching, or burning feeling.

Topical Lightening Medications

Topical Lightening Medications such as hydroquinone and kojic acid, function by preventing the skin’s melanin from being produced.

They may be utilized at home and are reasonably priced are two advantages.

Cons include the fact that it may take weeks or months to see benefits and that some people may have itchiness or allergic responses.

Microdermabrasion

Using tiny crystals, the non-invasive mechanical exfoliation procedure known as microdermabrasion removes the topmost layer of dead skin cells to reveal the fresh, pigment-free skin beneath.

The ability to effectively treat a variety of pigmentation diseases, such as age spots and freckles, is one of its benefits.

Additionally, it is a non-invasive procedure with few adverse effects and little recovery time.

Cons include the potential need for numerous sessions to produce the desired outcomes and, in rare instances, the possibility of redness or dryness.

Fractional Radiofrequency

A non-invasive cosmetic procedure called Fractional Radiofrequency (FRF) employs radiofrequency energy to target and address pigmentation problems like age spots, sun damage, and hyperpigmentation. It functions by transferring thermal energy to the skin’s deeper layers, encouraging the production of collagen, and lessening the visibility of pigmentation problems.

A device is used to transmit radiofrequency energy to the skin in a fractional pattern during a FRF treatment, causing small, precisely controlled areas of thermal injury in the skin.

Radiofrequency Micro-Needling Treatment

A cosmetic process known as radiofrequency micro-needling treatment makes use of both micro-needling and radiofrequency energy to reduce the appearance of pigmentation problems like age spots, sun damage, and hyperpigmentation.

The treatment works by stimulating the production of collagen and encouraging the gradual fading of pigmentation problems by providing controlled radiofrequency energy to the deeper layers of the skin using tiny needles.

In a radiofrequency micro-needling procedure, a machine uses tiny, precisely controlled punctures in the skin to transport radiofrequency energy to the skin’s deeper layers.

As a result of this procedure’s stimulation of collagen synthesis and promotion of the skin’s natural mending response, pigmentation problems gradually fade over time. For best results, the procedure usually necessitates numerous sessions.
