Pigmentation Treatment in Gurgaon

What is Pigmentation?

Our skin tones are unique because of the variation in the amount of melanin our skin contains. Melanin is a pigment responsible for skin coloration and is produced by specialized skin cells called melanocytes.

Pigmentation is a skin disorder, an aesthetic concern that features the uneven coloring of the skin- either lighter or darker, in localized spots/patches or whole body. Skin darkening is a result of melanin excess while skin lightening is caused by the loss of melanin in the skin.

Pigmentation causes and concerns

Some potential pigmentation causes include:

Aging
Hereditary factors
Stress
Dietary imbalances
Use of certain medications
Certain medical conditions
Excessive UV radiation exposure from sunlight
Inflammation resulting from physical trauma to the skin or allergies
Hormonal changes during pregnancy, menopause, or intake of birth control pills
Acquired skin pigmentation issues like café au lait spots, congenital melanocytic nevus, nevus of ota, spilus nevus, and Hori’s macules.

Pigmentation concerns include the impact of pigmentation irregularity on one’s appearance, psychological status, physical health (in some cases), and social functioning.

Types and Symptoms of Pigmentation Disorders

Pigmentation disorders are of two types, based on the amount of melanin in the skin. These are discussed below along with the common pigmentation symptoms.

Hyperpigmentation- This pigmentation irregularity features symmetrical, brown, black, or other colored patches in different skin tones due to excess melanin deposition in the skin. Often the skin darkening is seen on exposed body parts. Its further types, based on cause, are age/sun spots, melasma, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
Hypopigmentation- It is a pigmentation issue wherein the skin loses its melanin or has less melanin production. It features localized lighter skin or pale white patches of various shapes and sizes.

Types of pigmentation also are determined based on their cause and level and include:

Epidermal (superficial) pigmentation- Examples include freckles, solar lentigines, and café-au-lait macules
Dermal (deep pigmentation)- Examples include nevus of ota and Hori's macules
Mixed pigmentation (epidermal and dermal)- Melasma is one such pigmentation type.

FAQs on Pigmentation Treatment in Gurgaon

What Are the Side Effects of Pigmentation Treatment?

Pigmentation treatments do not come with major side effects and risks if a licensed, experienced skincare professional is offering suitable treatment as per the patient’s skin type.
This may include skin swelling, redness, pigmentation changes, infection, and crusting. These are temporary and resolved soon with proper aftercare.

Which treatment is best for pigmentation?

Various pigmentation treatments are available. The treatment chosen is decided based on the patient’s skin type/tone and the extent/nature of pigmentation. The best one can be decided only by a dermatologist after learning about the patient's needs, desires, and preferences.

How can I remove pigmentation from my face permanently using a laser?

Lasers work effectively in removing facial pigmentation like sun spots and age spots. However, their use can’t prevent future facial skin discoloration and does not guarantee complete, permanent removal. Repeated laser sessions are a must to achieve and maintain evenly toned skin.

What food can reduce pigmentation?

Foods that are good sources of vitamins, minerals, alpha-hydroxy acids, and antioxidants can help lessen the extent of skin pigmentation.

Can pigmentation be removed permanently?

The visibility of uneven skin spots/patches can be significantly reduced with the right pigmentation treatment. However, to maintain the treatment results, you need to be committed to a dermatologist-recommended skincare routine.

How do you stop pigmentation from spreading?

Pigmentation can spread due to triggers like hormonal fluctuations, direct sun/UV exposure, and trauma to the skin. Avoiding these can help prevent future pigmentation.

How many sessions will I need?

The number of sittings you will require for pigmentation treatment will depend on the type and extent of your pigmentation, the chosen treatment, and your response to the treatment provided. Generally, multiple sessions are required to achieve and enjoy optimal results.

Can pigmentation treatments be combined with other skin treatments?

Yes. Combination skin treatments can be very effective for addressing multiple skin issues at a time and help one achieve more comprehensive enhancement of skin health and natural beauty.

Is there any downtime after treatment?

Downtime associated with pigmentation treatment varies depending on the chosen treatment. Generally, it is short and patients can expect to resume their normal routine very soon, usually within a week or two.
