What is skin pigmentation and what is its treatment?

Pigmentation occurs when there is an excess or uneven balance of melanin in your skin. Usually this condition appears on the neck, décolletage and face. Cells called melanocytes become damaged from sun exposure, inflammation from acne, air pollutants, hormonal imbalances and other skin trauma. Skin pigmentation treatment is most often of a topical nature. There are different uneven skin tone products that are available to aid in reducing the visibility of pigmentation by fading the blemishes. Glycolic acid products and microdermabrasion treatments are fantastic for erasing skin pigmentation on the face, as they actively remove layers of skin that are damaged and promote regeneration in problem areas.

Can pigmentation be removed?

Yes. Topical creams like skin blemish removal creams or other uneven skin tone products can be used to lessen the appearance of discoloured patches of skin on the face. Microdermabrasion treatments can help to fade pigmentation while addressing a whole host of other skin issues like acne and sun damage which causes the skin's pigment to change.

What causes pigmentation on the face?

There are many different causes of skin pigmentation on the face. Your body will produce extra melanin during a number of occurrences including, pregnancy, other hormonal changes, sun damage, scarring, various medications, acne, inflammation such as cuts, abrasions or pimples. Also, with age some people experience pigmentation of the skin on their face.

What is the best treatment for pigmentation?

Microdermabrasion kits and treatments are a great way to reduce skin pigmentation on the face. Pairing skin blemish removal creams with a microdermabrasion will certainly give your skin the best chance. Products with active ingredients such as Glycolic Acid, Vitamin C, Retinol and Vitamin B3 can all be included in a regime to lessen the appearance of skin pigmentation. Investing in a good SPF50+ and wearing it every day will also stop any further pigmentation via harmful UV rays.

How do you fix skin discolouration?

One of the most effective ways to fix skin discolouration is to protect your skin from the harmful UV rays. Using an SPF50+ and wearing clothing and hats to block the sun will prevent you from getting sun spots and will also slow down the deepening of any further pigmentation of your face. There is no guarantee that you can erase the dark spots all together but at home microdermabrasion kits will definitely start you on the path to better looking skin. A glycolic acid peel and exfoliation followed by some soothing and moisturising products will help for your skin to start the restoration process.

Can pigmentation be cured permanently?

Depending on the level at which the pigmentation has occurred, it will stay in place for a longer period of time and may not fully recover back to its original state. However, if it is only a superficial level of skin pigmentation then it will require some attention to reduce it through microdermabrasion and other types of skin peels. Following a good skincare routine will also help to reduce and prevent skin pigmentation.

What is a Home Microdermabrasion Kit?

Microdermabrasion is a professional treatment that deeply exfoliates the skin to reveal a new layer of brighter, smoother skin. It is performed using either a device that sprays crystal particles onto the skin (loosening dead skin cells), or with an exfoliating wand that buffs away dead skin cells. Similar results (although a little more gentle) can be achieved from the comfort of home with the La Clinica Microdermabrasion kit. No device needed, our kit includes gentle resurfacing products which exfoliate dead skin cells and reveal a brighter, smoother layer of skin underneath.

Benefits of Microdermabrasion

The benefits of home microdermabrasion include:

Brighter complexion
Smoother, more even skin tone
Reduce breakouts
Softer skin
