What is Pigmentation?

Pigmentation marks, blemishes, and sun damage that appear on our skins is a common problem that most people start noticing in their early thirties. Very simply put visible pigmented marks are usually caused by an abnormally high amount of melanin deposition in certain parts of our skins. As a result the skin appears darker in colour (and sometimes is a different colour than expected).

Hyperpigmentation Causes:

  • Exposure to sunlight and UV damage
  • Disorders that cause inflammation
  • Infection
  • Cosmetic treatments such as lasers, IPL, and dermal fillers
  • Certain medication and drugs

      Hi Anisha my apologies for the delay with my response. Your best option would be to take the Face2Face Skin Assessment: https://skinmiles.com/face2face/ so that I can see a photo of your skin as this will help in choosing the best skin products for your skin concerns. In saying that Dermaquest do have a retinol based topical that is indicated for pigmentation and anti-ageing: DERMAQUEST RETINOL BRIGHTENING SERUM (https://skinmiles.com/shop/skin-care-product/dermaquest-retinol-brightening-serum/). I hope the above has helped. Kind regards Dr Alek Nikolic
