What Causes Pigmentation?

Pigmentation occurs when excess melanin, the pigment responsible for your skin’s colour, accumulates in specific areas. Common causes include:

• Sun damage from UV exposure
• Hormonal fluctuations, such as pregnancy or menopause
• Ageing and the natural breakdown of skin cells
• Acne scars and inflammation

Understanding these factors can help you manage pigmentation better and choose effective treatments.

Why Consider Pigmentation Treatment?

You might be wondering if pigmentation treatment is right for you. Here are reasons patients often seek help:

• Improving uneven skin tone
• Reducing age spots and sunspots
• Clearing up melasma and other stubborn pigmentation issues

Professional pigmentation treatment in Cape Town is a reliable way to regain smoother, brighter, and more evenly toned skin.
