Pigment spots are discolorations of the skin that can occur anywhere on the body. They are caused by an overproduction of melanin, the pigment responsible for the color of our skin. Although pigment spots are harmless, they can be cosmetically disturbing, especially on the face, hands or décolleté.
Causes of pigment spots
Pigment spots can occur for various reasons, including:
- Sun exposure: UV rays stimulate the production of melanin, which can lead to sun spots (also called age spots).
- Hormonal fluctuations: Pregnancy, birth control, or menopause can lead to melasma, also known as the mask of pregnancy.
- Skin irritation: Inflammation, wounds or acne can cause post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
- Age: As we age, pigment spots can become more common.
How does Cryon treat pigment spots?
At Cryon we offer effective treatments to reduce or even completely remove pigment spots. Our specialists will create a personalized treatment plan, depending on your skin type and the nature of the pigmentation. Some of our treatment options are:
- Laser therapy: Aimed at breaking down excess pigment without damaging the surrounding skin.
- Chemical peels: Remove dead skin cells and stimulate cell renewal, which reduces pigment spots.
- Microneedling: Stimulates collagen production and evens out skin texture.
Tips for home
In addition to professional treatments, you can contribute to reducing and preventing pigment spots yourself:
- Use a sunscreen with at least SPF 30 every day.
- Avoid excessive exposure to the sun, especially during peak hours.
- Use skin care products with vitamin C or niacinamide to brighten the skin.
