Face Pigmentation and How to Treat it

Skin color is established by the pigment known as melanin. Sometimes pigment loss can occur, either temporarily or permanently. When this happens, the affected area is lighter in color than the rest of the body, which also becomes an aesthetic problem. This loss is due to either the melanocytes having stopped working and not producing melanin, or the melanocytes having been completely destroyed.

On the other hand, there can also be a case of hyperpigmentation where it happens the complete opposite and melanin is produced in excess in certain spots in the skin. Hyperpigmentation results in flat, dark brown to black areas of skin, which can vary in size and shape. These are the main cause why people seek pigmentation removal in Singapore to even their skin tone.

Causes

Like we mentioned there are two different types of pigmentation changes in our face either by excess or loss, so we will go through some of the main causes in both cases.

Pigmentation Loss:

• Pityriasis alba: It is a very common disorder in children, but it can also appear in adults. It usually occurs on the face and arms, where the skin becomes redder and scaly. As the rash begins to heal, white patches appear in its place, which, thankfully, disappear over time.
• Infection: Fungal infections, such as pityriasis versicolor, can cause dry, scaly patches that are lighter in color than the rest of the skin and may also be itchy. According to dermatologists, they can appear anywhere on the body as with viral infections, for example chickenpox, which once cured can cause hypopigmentation.
• Scarring: when the skin suffers severe scarring, it is often accompanied by loss of pigment, which also becomes more susceptible to the action of UV rays. Therefore, without the necessary sun protection, these areas are at high risk of burning or even developing skin cancer.

Pigmentation Excess:

• Exposure to sun: Sun exposure is the main cause of hyperpigmentation as sunlight provokes the production of melanin – causing skin discolouration (pigmentation). The reason for the increase of melanin (acting like the skin’s natural sunscreen) was to protect your skin from the adverse effects of the sun like harmful UV rays – and that is why people get suntanned. But too much of melanin will lead to hyperpigmentation.
• Hormones: Having changes in one’s hormones can bring about melasma, chloasma and hyperpigmentation, which is a very common skin condition that happen mostly to women. The overproduction of melanin (when female sex hormones like progesterone and estrogen are being stimulated) can cause dark spots. Some may also be genetic depending on their family history.

Best Pigmentation Treatment in Singapore

There is no doubt that there are many treatments for this cosmetic problem that affects many people on different scales. Most of them are non-invasive making them ideal for everyone.

• Facial peels – It is a method used to enhance the appearance of the skin on the face and neck. How it is being done is that an acidic or chemical solution is being applied onto the face that causes exfoliation and it peels off eventually. Afterwards, new and regenerated skin can be seen, bringing about smoother and clearer skin altogether. The treatment is so effective that it is being named as one of the best pigmentation removal treatments in Singapore.
• Laser therapy – These are usually aesthetic-medical treatments that uses focused light and intensity. This is more accurate as the aesthetic doctors can have more control on the light intensity during the procedure. Laser treatments’ intensity can be adjusted high (can pentrate deeper layers of the skin) or low (works on the surface layer) accordingly. One of such treatment would be laser skin resurfacing treatment, which is a popular treatment among aesthetic clinics.
• Creams – This is always the first go-to options because it is convenient and affordable, which helps with evening out the skin tone and it can be done in the comfort of your own home. However, as these are just simple surface treatment, so it will take a longer time (up to months) to notice visible changes.
