Pigmentation: Symptoms, Causes and Treatments
Achieve radiant, even-toned skin with advanced pigmentation treatments at Elevate Medical Aesthetics. Our personalised solutions target dark spots, melasma, and more to restore your skin’s natural glow.
What is Hyperpigmentation?
Hyperpigmentation is a common skin condition where certain areas become darker than the surrounding skin due to excess melanin production. This can manifest as age spots, melasma, post-acne marks, or pigmentation in intimate areas.
At Elevate Medical Aesthetics in Yorkshire, we offer advanced, non-invasive treatments to target pigmentation concerns and restore radiant, even-toned skin.
Symptoms of Pigmentation
Darkened patches of skin
Age spots, liver spots, or sun spots
Uneven skin tone
Discolouration in intimate areas such as the underarms, groin, or buttocks
Facial redness or visible spider veins
Causes of Pigmentation
Sun Exposure: UV rays accelerate melanin production, causing sun spots and uneven skin tone.
Hormonal Changes: Hormonal shifts, especially during pregnancy or menopause, can trigger melasma.
Genetics: A predisposition to pigmentation concerns can run in families.
Skin Inflammation: Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation can occur after acne or injuries.
Lifestyle Factors: Friction, shaving, or skin irritation can lead to pigmentation in intimate areas..
