Pigmentation on the skin can be light and faded or dark and noticeable. Skin pigmentation problems, which result in dark patches or spots on the skin, can also be brought on by hormonal changes and excessive sun exposure. When pigmentation develops on areas like the face, it can be challenging to conceal. Patients in and around Johor Bahru, Malaysia, can talk to our team of professionals about their treatment options. Exploring the different treatment options for pigmentation is crucial for making an informed decision.
Which skin treatments are effective for pigmentation?
Our dermatologist and team at Dermed Clinic specialize in addressing pigmentation concerns. Below are four of the most popular treatments for pigmentation:
- Laser treatments: Laser therapy is a common option for treating pigmentation issues, such as dark and age spots. This non-invasive treatment uses focused light energy to specifically target the pigment in the skin, breaking it down and allowing it to be absorbed by the body. The number of laser treatment sessions needed depends on the severity of the pigmentation, but most patients see noticeable changes after just a few treatments.
- Chemical peels: Quality chemical peels involve applying a chemical solution to the skin, causing the upper or topmost layer of skin to peel off and reveal new, healthier skin underneath. This can help with pigmentation by removing damaged or discolored skin cells. Chemical peels come in various forms, from mild to strong, depending on the skin type and concerns about the individual’s pigmentation.
- Microdermabrasion: This treatment involves using a handheld device to exfoliate the uppermost layer of skin, remove dead skin cells, and promote skin cell turnover. Microdermabrasion can help with pigmentation by gently removing the discolored or damaged skin cells and revealing brighter, more even-toned skin underneath. It is typically recommended for mild pigmentation issues and might require several sessions for best results.
- Topical creams and serums: In addition to professional treatments, there are also topical products that can help with pigmentation. These products work by essentially inhibiting the production of the pigment responsible for dark spots, known as melanin, and can be used daily in conjunction with other treatments.
Alongside these treatments, a consistent home skincare routine is essential for managing pigmentation. This includes using sunscreen daily, as sun exposure can worsen pigmentation issues.
