Common Skin Pigmentation:
“Spot” the Real Problem
Melanin is the natural pigment in the body that gives color to your hair, skin and eyes. But when the melanin-producing skin cells become unhealthy or damaged, it will increase its production of melanin pigment, which causes the skin to have brown spots and hyperpigmentation.
There are different kinds of hyperpigmentation, which includes freckles, lentigines (sun spots), melasma, Hori’s macule, seborrheic keratosis (age spots) and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH).
Identifying the specific type you have helps you choose the right care for your skin. A professional assessment can guide a personalised pigmentation treatment in Singapore plan.
