Pigmentation spots: Why they form and how to remove them

Many women desire smooth, blemish-free facial skin, but what should be done when brown spots appear? Why does this happen? And is it hereditary? These questions trouble many women who suddenly notice these spots on their faces.

Pigmentation is a common cosmetic issue, manifesting as dark spots of varying sizes on the skin. It can appear even years after excessive sun exposure, causing the skin to look dull and lifeless. But don't worry—advanced treatments available today can help eliminate these spots and maintain a smooth, fresh appearance.

The Three Main Types of Pigmentation:

• Solar Pigmentation: Caused by exposure to sunlight, tanning beds, and excessive radiation.
• Hormonal Pigmentation (also known as melasma): Triggered by hormonal changes such as pregnancy or the use of birth control pills.
• Inflammatory Pigmentation: Occurs after skin injuries, such as acne.

Diagnosing and Treating Pigmentation

Effective treatment of pigmentation begins with an accurate diagnosis. Only after identifying the type of pigmentation can an effective treatment plan be developed. The treatment process generally includes:

1. Thorough cleansing of the skin.
2. Gentle peeling to remove dead cells.
3. Use of advanced technologies like ultrasound, mesotherapy, and phototherapy.
4. Acupuncture to stimulate blood flow and rejuvenate the skin.
5. Application of a nourishing serum to complete the treatment.

One of the recommended treatments for removing pigmentation is IPL, which is suitable for lightening sun and age spots with minimal discomfort.

Tips for Maintaining Healthy Skin

1. Maintain a healthy lifestyle, including a proper diet and drinking at least 2 liters of water daily.
2. Avoid excessive sun exposure and use a high-SPF sunscreen.
3. Combine personalized cosmetic treatments with daily home care products.
