Get rid of unwanted and ugly pigmented spots from the face with best pigmentation treatments in Delhi offered at Luxury Aesthetics Centre!
 
Pigmentation can be described as the colouring of the skin of an individual. A healthy person usually has a normal/even skin tone or colour. The unique skin colour of the individual is imparted by the melanin pigment produced by specialised skin cells called melanocytes.
 
When these melanocytes are either absurdly dispersed or oddly functional, they can lead to pigmentation glitches. The pigmentation issues show up as strange lightning (hypopigmentation) or darkening (hyperpigmentation) of the skin in spots/patches.
 
Some pigmentation issues adversely affect the confidence and self-esteem of a person. However, with the advancement in the cosmetic branch of medicine, it is possible to treat these conditions and restore a youthful appearance along with self-confidence.

What are the causes of Pigmentation?

No matter what natural skin colour we have and what ethnicity we belong to, at some point in life, we all experience pigmentation concerns. That’s when our skin would either become darker or lighter in contrast to what’s normal colour. This mainly occurs because the melanocytes produce either too little or too much melanin.
 
Hyperpigmentation or skin darkening happens because of excessive melanin production. The triggers include hormonal fluctuations, sun overexposure, and impairment of skin, like in the case of scars. It may be a result of the deposition of exogenous and endogenous pigments such as iron, hemosiderin, or heavy metals in the skin dermis. The dark zones can also appear because of side effects of certain medicines/therapies, use of the chemical substance, and deficiency of vitamins A and C. Other reasons are hasty skin diseases like psoriasis, dermatitis, and eczema.
 
Hypopigmentation or skin lightening happens due to low levels of melanin in the skin. This can be a result of an inflammatory reaction, injury/trauma to the skin such as burn or blister, aesthetic skin treatments like chemical peels and lasers, some chronic or genetic conditions, or low levels of tyrosine- a melanin-producing enzyme.
 
If one is experiencing any issues of pigmentation they must take the help of a aesthetician at Luxury Aesthetics Centre. One can get the benefits of skin pigmentation removal treatments in New Delhi, Panchsheel, South Delhi (India), with the skin experts at Luxury Aesthetics Centre.

Types of Pigmentation Disorders

1. Hyperpigmentation

  • Melasma- It is a brown coloration of the skin in spots or patches only in areas that are exposed to the sun. The condition is common among pregnant women because of hormonal changes at the time of their pregnancy. It can also be a result of hormonal changes such as thyroid disorders, stress, and hereditary factors.
     
  • Freckles/Ephiledes- This develops because of repeated sun exposure, particularly if the person is fair-complexioned. The freckles appear dark during the summer season and fade in winter. It can be an outcome of heredity.
     
  • Solar lentigines- Also called liver spots or sun spots, these are dark spots having clear-defined edges. These vary in colour from light brown to black. They appear because of overexposure to UV rays from the sun. 
     
  • Post-Inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH)- This occurs as a response to a skin injury/trauma. It can be a result of burns, acne, friction, or aggressive clinical treatments such as dermabrasion, chemical peels, laser, and IPL therapy. The condition often resolves over time but can reoccur.
     

2. Hypopigmentation

  • Albinism- It is an inherited disorder that changes one of the genes responsible for melanin production. It is a depigmentation condition that leaves the skin pale or white. 
     
  • Vitiligo- It is a chronic skin condition characterised by pale skin patches on any part of the body. This may be an autoimmune condition wherein the immune system mistakenly attacks and destroys healthy skin cells.
     
  • Pityriasis alba- It is a skin condition where the raised, slightly inflamed patches of the skin lose pigments over time. The lesions usually affect the face, upper trunk, and arms. It may be a result of any inflammatory skin issue like atopic dermatitis or eczema. 
     
  • Pityriasis versicolor- This is a fungal skin infection that can lighten the skin in patches. It usually develops on the chest, abdomen, upper arms, and upper back. Dark-skinned people often have light patches, and pale skin may have pale brown, pink, or red circular and flat patches.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there any kind of discomfort and pain during the pigmentation treatment?

This depends primarily on the type of treatment. With laser pigmentation removal in Delhi it is common to experience little discomforts like a slight tingling sensation or a hot rubber band snapping against the skin because of heat from the laser.
 
However, there is no pain or discomfort nowadays with the use of advanced lasers that are fitted with a cooling device. With chemical peels, it’s normal to experience a slight stinging or tingling sensation for some time while the peels are doing their work. With micro-needling, you may find an unusual sensation that is not discomforting. Some people prefer using a numbing cream before this treatment.

What is the length of pigmentation treatments?

The sessions can last for 5 to 30 minutes or more. The exact timing depends upon the size of the treatment area or the depth of pigmentation.

How long will the results of pigmentation treatments last?

This depends upon which pigmentation removal option you elect for. However, all pigmentation treatments can only clear the skin but not stop the process of pigmentation. To achieve and maintain exceptional results, you will need follow-up treatments and will have to follow a daily sunblock regimen.

How many sessions are needed for treating pigmentation?

When it comes to the number of sittings needed for treating pigmentation, it entirely depends on the severity of the condition and the procedure chosen. For laser pigmentation removal, usually, three sessions are required for removing shallow pigments. Deep-seated pigments may need more laser sessions. In case of skin needling or microdermabrasion, 6-10 treatments are usually required to get the desired results.
 
Chemical peeling in Delhi is done using mild or moderate peels that need to be performed multiple times until the pigmentation fades. It can be performed at fortnightly or monthly intervals. 

What aftercare will I need after my pigmentation removal sessions?

You need to strictly follow the post-treatment instructions provided by your doctor. Following the pigmentation treatments, you must: 

  • Avoid exposure of the skin to direct sunlight. You must wear sunblock and sun-protective clothing and avoid solariums for 4 to 8 weeks after the treatment. Be sure to not use tanning beds or sun tanning lotions/creams throughout the treatment.
  • Avoid any trauma/injury to the skin for a few days.
  • Do not apply makeup or any fragranced skincare products for at least 24 hours.
  • Avoid waxing, tweezing, and skin bleaching for at least 4 weeks after the treatments.

What areas can be treated?

As the whole body is covered with skin, pigmentation disorders can happen anywhere and so would need treatment. However, the most common targeted pigmented areas that are treated are typically the ones exposed to harmful UV rays of the sun. These are the face, hands, neck, chest, shoulders, and back.

What home remedies can help me get pigmentation-free skin?

Some of the natural remedies that you can try at home to remove your pigmented spots/patches and achieve evenly toned skin are:

  • Black tea water
  • Aloe vera
  • Apple cider vinegar
  • Tomato paste
  • Masoor daal masks
  • Milk
