Skin pigmentation refers to the uneven coloring of the skin in spots or patches. Skin discoloration includes either darkening of the skin (hyperpigmentation) due to excess melanin or lightening of the skin (hypopigmentation) because of less melanin production in the skin.
However, generally, skin pigmentation is termed as hyperpigmentation of the body or of the face either as generalized darkening or as dark patchy spots. The various culprits for excessive pigmentation of the skin include sun exposure, pregnancy hormones, previous skin injury or inflammation, aging, laser therapy, chemotherapy medicine, antibiotics, birth control, and certain medical conditions like Addison’s disease.
Skin pigmentation is a harmless skin concern that results in an unpleasant appearance. People with pigmentation issues wish to get flawless-looking skin. Thankfully, there are many ways to erase the dark patches from the skin.
Here are the most-recommended, advanced treatments for pigmentation offered by Best Skin Specialist Doctor in Delhi, Dr. Rajat Kandhari at Dr. Kandhari’s Skin and Dental Clinic:
Laser Skin Resurfacing- This treatment works most effectively on dark spots caused by acne on the face. It is based on the principle of selective photo-thermolysis. The procedure involves focussing on short pulses of laser light onto the targeted pigmented spots/patches with the help of a medical-grade laser device. There are two kinds of lasers: ablative (intensive) lasers that harm the skin surface and remove the damaged skin cells and non-ablative (less intense) that heats the skin dermis to encourage collagen growth and skin tightening effects without harming the superficial skin. The laser generates heat which gets transferred to deeper layers of the skin, destroys the pigmentation particles (excess melanin) on its way, and internally heals the skin by growing new skin cells. The results of laser treatment are visible in 1-2 weeks and last longer than other alternative cosmetic treatments. However, multiple laser sessions are required to achieve desired results.
Chemical Peel- In this treatment, the dermatologist applies acidic solutions on the skin to remove the outer damaged layers containing dark pigmented spots and heal the skin cells to reveal a new, refreshing, healthier skin. Depending upon the severity of pigmentation, the strength of the chemical peel (light, medium, or deep) is chosen by the skin expert. This further decides the effectiveness of the treatment. The superficial or less-intensive peels include alpha-hydroxy acids such as glycolic acid, medium peels include beta-hydroxy acids like salicylic acid, and deep peels include high-strength of trichloroacetic acid. If using superficial or medium peels, repeated sessions are needed to get significant results. However, it is necessary to avoid sunlight or UV exposure post chemical peel treatment.
Microneedling- This is a non-invasive treatment where the skin experts carefully pierce the pigmented areas of the skin with multiple ultra-thin needles. As the doctor punctures the skin and creates micro-injuries, the body interprets them as wounds and provides a natural wound healing response. The natural growth factors, collagen, and elastin rush to the injured area for skin repair and regrowth of skin and tissue. Thus, it does a tremendous job of fading or reversing the darkening of the skin because of collagen growth induction.
Carbon Laser Peel- In this treatment, the licensed dermatologist applies a charcoal mask (activated liquid carbon) over the entire pigmented areas of the cleansed skin to absorb all the dead skin cells, dirt, and grime that clogs the pores. Next, a 1064nm laser is applied over the dried mask to peel off the mask along with its absorbed materials. This is a skin resurfacing procedure known to even out the skin tone and improve overall skin appearance in less time. It helps reduce hyperpigmentation and provides instant glowing skin without causing pain or requiring downtime.
