Pigmentation

Pigmentation, Sun Damage, Age Spots, and Melasma – another term for this is hyperpigmentation

Sun damaged skin is often a main concern with skin ageing.  Too much sun exposure over the years can cause sun spots (age spots) and pigmentation.  In a prolonged period are all too evident in the photographs below.   Solar Lentignes (sun spots), fine lines and a thickening and coarsening texture to the skin are typical features of over exposure to the sun.

The formation of pigmentation can be due to a number of reasons, typically from sun damage and also hormonal changes (melasma) that can result in permanent scarring or darkening on the skin.

Pigmentation – large amount on skin

Pigmentation refers to patches of pigmented skin – “dark spots” – that have been darkened by the clustering of excess melanin and uneven production of melanin throughout the layer of skin.

These dark spots are very stubborn and become more pronounced with time instead of fading away naturally.  Often they become darker when exposed to the sun.

The skin stops producing new cells as a person ages hence pigmentation becoming more obvious. The old cells accumulate over time and give the skin a very dull appearance.

Removing Age Spots and Hyperpigmentation

Although age spots are harmless, if you have them on your face, hands, arms or décolleté, you may feel self-conscious of your appearance, which can limit what you wear and the activities you take part in.
