Pigmentation
Pigmentation can present as uneven skin tone, darker patches or areas of discolouration. It may develop gradually or appear more suddenly, depending on the underlying cause.
While common, pigmentation can be complex, so understanding what is driving it is an important first step in managing it effectively.
Understanding pigmentation
Pigmentation occurs when there is an increase in melanin production within the skin. This can be triggered by a number of factors, including sun exposure, hormonal changes, inflammation or previous skin conditions.
Different types of pigmentation, such as sun damage or post-inflammatory marks, may require different approaches. Because of this, assessment is key to determining the most appropriate treatment plan.
What you may notice
- Uneven skin tone
