Pigmentation: Causes, Concerns, and Effective Treatments at Instincts Skin

Pigmentation is a common skin concern that affects many people, manifesting as darkened areas on the skin caused by an overproduction of melanin, the pigment responsible for skin color. At Instincts Skin, we understand that pigmentation can be complex and often frustrating to manage, especially without the right guidance. Our expert team is here to help you address pigmentation with a tailored approach, utilising cutting-edge treatments and personalised care.

What Causes Pigmentation?

Pigmentation can arise from a variety of factors, including:

  • Sun Exposure: Prolonged exposure to UV rays stimulates melanin production, leading to sunspots, freckles, and dark patches.
  • Hormonal Changes: Conditions such as melasma, often triggered by hormonal fluctuations during pregnancy, use of contraceptives, or other hormonal therapies, can cause hyperpigmentation.
  • Inflammation and Injury: Acne scars, cuts, and even some cosmetic procedures can lead to post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, where dark spots form as the skin heals.
  • Aging: As the skin ages, it naturally becomes more prone to uneven pigmentation, with age spots and liver spots becoming more prominent.
  • Lifestyle Factors: Diet, stress, and skincare habits can all influence skin congestion and acne. High-glycemic foods, dairy, and stress have been linked to acne, while using the wrong skincare products can contribute to congestion.

Our comprehensive approach to pigmentation treatment is designed to tackle each of these factors, restoring clarity and evenness to your skin.
