Pigmentation occurs when melanin, the natural pigment in the skin, is produced unevenly. This can lead to darker patches, uneven tone, or discoloured areas on the skin. It is a common concern that can affect confidence and is influenced by multiple factors, including sun exposure, hormonal changes, acne, ageing, scarring, and certain medications.

Types of Pigmentation:

  //  Sunspots (Solar Lentigines): Flat, dark patches caused by prolonged UV exposure, often appearing on the face, hands, and chest.
  // Melasma: Deeper, symmetrical patches commonly triggered by hormonal changes, pregnancy, or certain medications, usually on the cheeks, forehead, upper lip, and jawline.
  // Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH): Dark marks left after inflammation or skin injury, such as acne, cuts, or burns.
  // Freckles (Ephelides): Small, pigmented spots, usually genetic, which become more noticeable with sun exposure.
