What Is Skin Pigmentation?
The Causes of Skin Pigmentation
Skin pigmentation arises from melanin production, which is influenced by hormonal changes (especially oestrogen) and sun exposure. Melanin is the brown pigment responsible for tanning, freckles, and various pigmentation issues like melasma when the skin is exposed to sunlight. Over time, sun-damaged skin grows more prone to pigmentation changes such as sun spots, age spots, and other uneven colour patterns.

Skin Pigmentation Removal and Treatment
At Cosmetic & Veins Clinic, we usually customise treatments for skin pigmentation as part of an overall treatment plan.
Common pigmentation concerns we treat at Cosmetic & Veins Clinic include:
Freckles
Many individuals have freckles or irregular brown spots on their skin. These freckles can result from sun exposure but are also influenced by genetics.
Effective treatment for freckles and sun spots can be achieved using a medical-grade Laser Skin Resurfacing treatment. At Cosmetic & Veins Clinic, we offer Q-Switch Laser treatment and Erbium Resurfacing, a non-invasive laser treatment designed to address multiple skin pigmentation issues.
To maintain and protect your results, it is crucial to use high-quality sunscreen, as further sun exposure can cause these spots to reappear.
Age Spots
Age spots, also known as liver spots are larger, flat patches that commonly develop on the face and hands as a result of prolonged sun exposure. Typically appearing in middle age, these spots are caused by an accumulation of pigment-producing cells. While they may fade during the winter months, they do not completely vanish.
Laser Skin Resurfacing treatment can be used to diminish these darker age spots while simultaneously enhancing skin texture and smoothing fine lines, which results in an overall improved appearance.
Melasma
Melasma is a common skin condition marked by symmetrical, brown patches typically found on the face. Areas often affected include the cheeks, upper lip, forehead, and occasionally the forearms.
The Q-Switch Laser treatment is a non-invasive procedure aimed at correcting skin pigmentation problems such as melasma. It works by delivering short bursts of high-intensity light that specifically targets and breaks down melanin, the pigment that causes these discolourations.
Seborrhoeic Keratosis
Seborrhoeic keratosis, sometimes known as a senile wart, is a non-cancerous skin growth. These lesions commonly appear on the torso and in areas prone to friction, such as beneath the breasts and under the armpits.
Seborrhoeic keratosis can be effectively treated since these growths are superficial and do not extend deep into the skin. At Cosmetic & Veins Clinic, we utilise a technique known as Surgitron, which employs radiofrequency to gently remove the lesion, resulting in a minor abrasion that typically heals without scarring.
