Pigmentation is a condition where the skin develops discoloured or uneven patches. <\/span>There are two types of pigmentation: hyperpigmentation – when the discoloured patches appear darker than the skin, and hypopigmentation – when the patches appear lighter than the skin.
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>Hyperpigmentation most commonly appears on the face, chest, shoulders, neck and hands, and is a result of excess production of melanin. Sun exposure, hormonal changes, injury or trauma are the main causes of hyperpigmentation, presenting itself in the form of freckles or sun spots. <\/span>Hyperpigmentation is often harmless and can affect anybody at any age, although people in their 30\u2019s or 40\u2019s are most commonly seen to be seeking treatment.<\/span>
\n<\/span>Hypopigmentation can present itself in spots, or may even cover larger areas anywhere on the body. The disruption of melanin production in this case may be caused by a genetic condition, as a result of extreme environmental conditions or due to an injury such as burns. It may be advisable to investigate the underlying cause of hypopigmentation before seeking treatment.\u00a0 <\/span>
\n<\/span>People who are affected by pigmentation in either form often feel its appearance is embarrassing and impacts on their self-confidence. At Time Clinic, a bespoke treatment plan will be devised according to the patient\u2019s individual skin types, symptoms and causes of the condition.<\/span>
\n<\/span>Treatment such as face and body peels and \/ or medical grade skincare will assist in the reduction to the appearance of pigmentation and produce a more even skin tone.<\/span>
\n<\/span>On going treatment and review plans may also be necessary for this condition and Time Clinic will be able to discuss this with you.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":309,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"template":"","class_list":["post-262","condition","type-condition","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nPigmentation - Time Clinic<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Pigmentation is a condition where the skin develops discoloured or uneven patches.
