Pigmentation Treatment - Targeted Solutions for Clearer, Healthier Skin
Advanced Solutions for Pigmentation
The skin is constantly influenced by its environment, particularly sun exposure, which can accelerate the development of uneven skin tone and pigmentation. While sunspots and sun-induced pigmentation are common, other types, such as melasma, may develop following hormonal changes like pregnancy. These areas of discoloration can be persistent and challenging to manage with topical skincare alone.
At Queensland Skin and Laser, we offer clinically proven treatments to address pigmentation at its source, helping to restore a more even, radiant complexion while supporting long-term skin health. Take the first step toward clearer, more balanced skin – book your consultation today.
Understanding Pigmentation
To understand how to treat pigmentation effectively, it’s helpful to first explore the different types that can appear on your skin. Pigmentation can appear in various forms, each with distinct characteristics.
- Sun Spots / Solar Lentigines: Flat, brown spots typically appearing on areas exposed to the sun, such as the face, hands, and chest.
- Melasma: Symmetrical patches often seen on the cheeks, forehead, or upper lip.
- Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH): Dark marks that remain after acne, injury, or skin irritation.
Concerned about your skin’s pigmentation? Schedule a professional assessment today.
What Causes Pigmentation?
Once you know the type of pigmentation, it’s important to consider what may have caused it. Pigmentation develops due to a combination of environmental, hormonal, and genetic factors.
- Sun Exposure: UV rays accelerate pigmentation and can lead to sunspots or worsen existing discoloration.
- Hormonal Changes: Pregnancy, contraceptives, or hormonal fluctuations can trigger melasma.
- Inflammation or Injury: Acne, eczema, or skin trauma can result in post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
- Genetics: Some individuals are naturally predisposed to freckles or other pigmentation patterns.
