Pigmentation
Causes and treatments
Pigmentation issues arise due to imbalances in melanin production, the pigment responsible for skin colour. Healthy skin cells result in normal, even skin tone, but damage or hormonal changes can lead to excess or reduced melanin production, causing noticeable discolouration. Dr Bravi offers advanced skin treatments and medical-grade products designed to reduce the appearance of pigmentation.
Symptoms and causes
Common symptoms of pigmentation include:
- Hyperpigmentation: Dark spots or patches on the skin, often caused by factors like sun exposure, hormonal changes, or skin trauma.
- Hypopigmentation: Lighter areas of skin due to reduced melanin production, which can occur after skin damage or as a result of certain medical conditions.
