LASER TREATMENT FOR PIGMENTATION IN BANGALORE
A skin pigmentation disorder is not just about a physical malfunction, it also makes you feel aesthetically unappealing and less beautiful. It can affect your self-confidence and become a major cause of worry.
The hunt for a pigmentation treatment at a good skin clinic in a big city like Bangalore can be a daunting task. No matter what the cause of your skin pigmentation is, be it due to genetic reasons or environmental factors, you should only opt for a treatment at a reputed skin clinic. Look out for a clinic which has a team of experienced dermatologists and uses only treatments that have been proven to work and are FDA approved for their safety.
Our skin color is determined based on the presence of the amount of melanin, a brown pigment found in the skin, hair, and the iris of the eye. When more melanin is present, it causes the skin to become pigmented and darker.
Melanin can be present in higher amounts in the entire skin or in specific areas of the body too. The variations in skin color are primarily genetic and there are many genetic disorders such as addison’s disease, albinism, and vitiligo that lead to changes in the skin pigmentation. Exposure to sunlight is another major cause of skin pigmentation, as increased and repeated exposure to the sun can increase melanin production and lead to the formation of darker patches or spots on the skin such as tan, lentigines, and freckles.
Skin pigmentation can appear in various forms. It can be overall darkening in the skin tone or be in the form of dark patches or spots. Here are the main skin pigmentation concerns affecting people in India –
(a) Tan – This is caused due to increased production of melanin because of increased sun exposure. The skin becomes darker in the exposed areas such as pigmentation on the neck, hands, legs, and feet.
(b) Melasma – These are dark, irregular, brown patches found commonly on the face. This is more common in women especially during pregnancy or post-delivery or in those undergoing hormonal replacement therapy. Sometimes, it may be genetic too.
(c) Freckles – These are brown to black spots formed on skin due to clusters of concentrated melanin, usually found in fair skinned people on face or areas of skin exposed to the sun.
(d) Post Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation – This usually occurs after a skin injury or if acne is squeezed or picked. A dark spot is formed at the site due to increased production of melanin from the inflammation caused by acne or the skin injury. Pigmentation on the underarms can be a type of post inflammatory hyperpigmentation that is caused due to incorrect hair removal techniques.
(e) Peri Orbital Pigmentation – The area around the eyes is often pigmented and appears darker than the rest of the face. The common causes for this condition is dandruff, thyroid problems, cosmetics, familial reasons, and a pigmentation condition called acanthosis nigricans.
(f) Peri Oral Pigmentation – Similar to the skin around the eyes, the Indian population (especially women) are plagued with pigmentation around the mouth. This is usually due to genetic reasons.
Any type of skin pigmentation, when left untreated, can not only ruin your look but become a permanent darkening of the skin. It can hamper your self-confidence and make you extremely self-aware about your appearance. Stepping out of the house with common skin pigmentation such as dark neck, dark face, darks feet, etc. becomes an unthinkable situation. Tan, melasma, post inflammatory hyperpigmentation or any other type can be controlled if treated at the earliest.
- Tan is commonly found on the forehead, outer aspect of arms, and temples.
- Melasma is often seen on the forehead, nose, upper part of the cheeks, upper lip, and nose.
- Freckles are seen on the face and body areas such as chest, arms, and shoulders.
- Post inflammatory hyperpigmentation can be seen on any of the face or body that has pimple or some form of skin injury.
- Peri orbital pigmentation is seen around the eyes and peri oral pigmentation is seen around the mouth.
- Pigmentation on the legs due to tanning or a skin condition is also a common concern these days.
We often resort to home remedies passed on to us by our grandmothers but at-home treatments often do not work and if they do, the results are barely visible and never long lasting. Skin pigmentation concerns can be treated by following the right course of treatment.
Oliva Skin & Hair Clinics in Bangalore offers many such treatments that will provide you with noticeable results for your pigmentation issues. Our popular treatments include Chemical Peels and Laser Toning (using Q Switched Nd:YAG laser). These aim at removing the darkened skin layers without causing any damage to the surrounding skin. Once the pigmented skin is exfoliated, the fresh, lighter skin present below comes to the surface and your skin will be restored to its former glory.
Depending on the pigmentary concern troubling you, our expert dermatologists will recommend you the best course of treatment to get rid of the pigmentation efficiently. They may also prescribe you with topical treatments such as retinoids and kojic acid for superficial pigmentation and also to maintain the results after any treatment. This depends on your individual case.
