Pigmentation
Pigmentation refers to an increase in the melanin content of the skin. Melanin is the natural pigment that gives skin its distinctive colour. There are different causes of pigmentation such as:
PIH may be caused by any trauma to the skin that results in inflammation and acne is often the cause. The inflammatory process stimulates the skin to produce more pigment, presumably as a defence mechanism.
PIH after allergy PIH after sun damage PIH after acne
Treatment includes removing the aggravating factor where possible. We also recommend daily use of a broad-spectrum (covering a wide range of wavelengths) UVA and UVB sunscreen with a Sun Protection Factor (SPF) of at least 25, as the most effective way to protect the skin from further sun damage. To eradicate existing pigmentation Pulse Dye Laser can be very effective and VIVA Clinic also offer a prescription skincare range called Vi-Derm which can get good results.
