Pigmentation
What is Pigmentation?
Bright and flawlessly beautiful skin radiates youthfulness and freshness. Dark delimited spots on the skin are merely an annoyance. They are signs of disturbed pigment distribution in the epidermis.
Skin pigmentation disorder occurs in all of us – in the face, on the neckline, the back of the hands and the forearms. These include discoloured marks or brown spots, as well as pigmented patches of skin.
Your skin, hair and eyes get its colour from a pigment called melanin. When the cells responsible for producing melanin are healthy, your skin will appear normal and even however, when they become damaged or unhealthy, it affects melanin production. As a result, parts of your skin may turn lighter (hypo-pigmentation) or darker (hyper-pigmentation).
What causes Pigmentation
Sun spots, liver spots, freckles and other unwanted pigmentation are often associated with variety of reasons including skin ageing and sun damage caused by over exposure to the sun or sunbeds, genetics, hormonal changes, medical conditions and trauma to the skin.
A common cause of hyperpigmentation is an excess production of melanin. Melanin is a pigment that gives skin its color. And it’s produced by skin cells called melanocytes. Several different conditions or factors can alter the production of melanin in the body.
- Certain medications can cause hyperpigmentation.
- Pregnancy changes hormone levels and can affect melanin production in some women.Â
- Excessive sun exposure can also cause an increase in melanin.
