Pigmented Skin

Excessive exposure to the sun’s harmful UVA and UVB rays can result in skin discolouration, sunspots on skin and long-term sun damaged skin.

Well, the good news is that great advances are being made in treating skin pigmentation caused by an overproduction of melanin which, in turn, causes dark spots and patches on your skin. Excessive sun exposure, hormonal imbalances and your specific genes affect the severity of these blemishes which can range from minor to more severe. Sunspots, liver spots and age spots all appear to look similar and are generally caused by photodamage, in other words, too much time in the sun. These spots show areas of your skin where melanin producing cells are damaged or failing, either due to sun damage or the natural process of ageing. The first appearance of an age spot can often be a subtle blemish in the skin or some unusual redness.


It is a good idea to keep a close eye on any spots before they become a problem. If you notice any new spots, or changes in the size and/or colour of old ones, be sure to consult your doctor before your Skin Therapist.


WHAT CAUSES PIGMENTATION SPOTS?


The causes of pigmentation is most often sun exposure which can trigger a change in melanin levels. There are also many environmental and genetic factors that can cause your skin to produce irregular levels of melanin in certain areas. It is important to wear quality sunscreen with a high SPF and to avoid direct sunlight. Excessive exposure to sunlight can increase the risk of pigmentation skin concerns.
