Pigmentation

Skin tone discolouration

Skin pigmentation disorders cause an uneven skin tone where areas or patches of skin can turn darker in colour. This often occurs when there is an overproduction of melanin in the skin cells.

There are different types of pigmentation which include:

Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) is often the result of acne, friction, or aggressive treatments such as chemical peels and laser. This type of pigmentation can improve with time and is treatable with topical products.

Melasma is more common in women. It appears on the face in large brown patches with an indistinct border. It is often triggered by hormonal changes but can be made worse by excessive sun exposure, certain medications, stress, and pregnancy.

Solar Lentigines are the pigmentation type also known as liver spots, sun spots, or age spots. They are pigmented spots which may vary in colour and size. They can appear anywhere on the body and are caused by UV rays from sun exposure.

Freckles are a very common type of pigmentation but whether you get them can be influenced by your genetics. These small dots are often the very first sign of sun damage, they develop after repeated sun exposure and are particularly common in people with a fairer complexion.

Treatment for Pigmentation with IPL

Treatments for Pigmentation

IPL

The IPL releases short pulses of filtered light that is absorbed by melanin found in the skin. The rapid absorption of light energy heats the melanin and cases destruction of the melanin-rich cells.

Chemical Peels

A chemical peel is a procedure in which a chemical solution is applied to the skin to remove the top layers of your skin which gradually leaves the skin looking brighter and smoother. At Berkshire Aesthetics we offer different types of skin peel which come at different depths, depending on the severity of the skin condition the appropriate skin peel will be chosen to achieve the desired result.

Q-Switch Nd:YAG laser

Emits a longer near infra-red ray of 1064nm light that is capable of penetrating into the deeper regions of the skin. This is therefore capable of destroying melanocytes which are responsible for producing melanin and causing pigmentary changes on the skin.

Medical Grade Skincare

Tyrosinase inhibitors found in medical skincare products can be used to topically treat pigmentation. These products will usually contain ingredients such as Hydroquinone or Arbutin which inhibit new epidermal melanin production.
