Pigmentation, sometimes referred to as hyperpigmentation increases over time and appears as moles, freckles, melasma or patches of darker skin. It simply means that the skin is appearing darker than it should normally be. It may occur anywhere on the body but is more prominent in areas that are more exposed to the sun such as the face, hands, arms and neck. When instances of pigmentation stand out against your normal skin tone, people can become concerned.
Pigmentation can be caused by a variety of things; genetics, hormone levels and sun exposure to name a few. The most common courses are skin inflammation and sun exposure. Here, the skin produces extra melanin due to increased UV exposure, thus darkening the skin.
Bodyvie’s treatments have been successful in aiding patients suffering from pigmentation issues for years. By resurfacing the skin with peels, tretinoin, and lasers, the pigmentation is worn down and its appearance is reduced. The application of SPF50 daily is vital to maintain results and prevent the further development of pigmentation.
To prevent pigmentation issues, it's crucial to minimise long-term sun exposure and incorporate the daily use of high-quality sunscreen into your routine.
The most effective anti-pigmentation measure is consistently applying a sunscreen with an SPF of 50, ensuring maximum protection against harmful UV rays.
