Pigmentation is a common skin concern that can affect confidence and impact the skin’s overall appearance. It refers to changes in skin colour caused by an overproduction or underproduction of melanin, the pigment responsible for our skin tone. This can appear as freckles, sun spots, age spots, or larger areas of discolouration such as melasma. Pigmentation can develop due to hormonal changes, sun damage, trauma, or genetics, and its severity varies from person to person.

Melanin is produced by specialised cells called melanocytes. While everyone has the same number of these cells, the amount of melanin they produce determines skin colour. When melanocytes are damaged or overstimulated, they produce either too much melanin, causing hyperpigmentation (dark spots), or too little, resulting in hypopigmentation (light spots). These changes can be triggered by factors like sun exposure, heat, injury, or hormonal fluctuations, with the melanin settling at different depths within the skin. Superficial pigmentation, like freckles and sun spots, is easier to treat, while deeper pigmentation, as seen in melasma, can be more challenging.
