Common Questions for Pigmentation (FAQs)

Pigmentation refers to the coloring of the skin. Uneven pigmentation occurs when melanin production increases or decreases, causing dark or light patches.

Pigmentation can be caused by sun exposure, hormonal changes, aging, inflammation, or certain medical conditions.

Using sunscreen, avoiding excessive sun exposure, maintaining a healthy diet, and using antioxidant-rich skincare products can help prevent pigmentation.

Treatments include laser therapy, chemical peels, microdermabrasion, topical creams, and medical-grade skincare.

Depending on the treatment type, results may take a few weeks to several months to become visible.
