Pigmentation
At Novum Skin & Wellness, we understand that pigmentation concerns can take many forms, whether caused by ageing, acne, sensitivity, or dehydration. Pigmentation refers to the discolouration of the skin, such as dark spots, sun spots, melasma, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (often left after acne). These concerns can impact your complexion and confidence, but with the right treatment plan, it’s possible to significantly fade pigmentation while also addressing other skin needs.
Understanding Pigmentation
Pigmentation occurs when the skin produces excess melanin, the pigment responsible for skin colour. This can be triggered by a variety of factors, including:
Ageing: As we age, skin cells slow down, and we may start to see age spots or sunspots, especially from years of sun exposure.
Acne: After a breakout, dark spots or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) can develop, even once the acne has healed.
Sensitivity: Sensitive skin can develop pigmentation due to inflammation or irritation from environmental factors, products, or treatments.
Dehydration: When the skin lacks hydration, it can become inflamed, and this inflammation may lead to pigmentation issues over time.
Why a Comprehensive Approach is Key
While pigmentation may be the primary concern, it's important to remember that pigmentation doesn’t exist in a vacuum. Often, it’s accompanied by other skin concerns, such as ageing, acne, sensitivity, or dehydration. At Novum Skin & Wellness, we believe in addressing all of your skin's needs for holistic results. It’s not just about fading the pigmentation—it's about promoting healthy, well-balanced skin. This is why we love Medik8 skincare, which allows us to select the perfect treatments and products tailored to your unique needs.
By targeting the root causes of pigmentation while also addressing other concerns, we can help you achieve a radiant, even-toned complexion without compromising your skin’s overall health.
Common Forms of Pigmentation
Sunspots (Age Spots): Dark spots caused by sun exposure, commonly seen on the face, chest, and hands.
Post-inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH): Dark spots that remain after an acne breakout or injury to the skin.
Melasma: Hormonal pigmentation, often seen as brown or greyish patches on the face, particularly on the cheeks, upper lip, and forehead.
Freckles: Small, tan or brown spots typically caused by sun exposure, common in fair skin types.
