Pigmentation Uneven skin tone (or more specifically Hyperpigmentation) refers to changes in the skin?s colour due to the overproduction of melanin (skin-protecting dark pigment) by melanocytes (pigment-producing cells). It commonly appears on the face, neck, shoulders, d?colletage and the hands giving skin an uneven tone.? In cases of post inflammatory Hypo pigmentation (loss of pigmentation) patches of skin appears lighter after it has been through a trauma, injury,? burn or an infection and gives the skin an uneven tone complexion. Pigmentation affects all skin types and conditions, not just people with fair complexions but those with dark complexions as well.
Appropriate amounts of cellular melanin production is nature’s protective shield that prevents skin cells from UV damage. Abnormal or excess melanin production occurs when melanocyte cells become damaged due to frequent and prolonged sun and UV exposure or tanning beds, which can aggravate not only pigmentation issues but also accelerate the ageing process while causing cell mutations.
Other contributory factors include genetics, diet and nutrition, lifestyle, hormones, medications, genetics, environmental factors, pregnancy, injury/trauma and cellular age.
Three types of pigmentation:
- Epidermal (superficial) – Known as Post-Inflammatory Hyper Pigmentation (PIHP), and usually close to the skin’s surface. A result of skin inflammation due to acne, injury/trauma, freckles and UV-induced age spots.
- Dermal (deep) – Includes ‘Hori?s nevus’ and ‘nevus of Ota’, which are usually found in the deeper dermal layers. A result of possible inflammatory, hormonal and UV/sun stimulation.
- Mixed Epidermal/Dermal – Found in both the epidermis and the dermis. Melasma and? Chloasma is hormonal-induced and exacerbates during pregnancy and with use of oral contraceptives.
Each pigmentation type is treated with various treatment options as well as individual preference and caution. Depending on individual skin type and condition, pigmentation can be greatly reduced and in some cases may be eliminated. This will be assessed in your initial in-depth skin consultation which will address your areas of concern with an appropriate treatment plan to achieve the best outcome.
