Pigmentation Solutions

Understanding the Triggers

Like many functions within the skin, the process of creating pigment is extremely complex. Melanin, which is responsible for determining the color of the skin, is created by the skin’s melanocyte cells through a process called melanogenesis. We have approximately 2,000 melanocytes per millimeter of skin. Naturally, the sheer number of these cells and the complexity of the process also means there is great susceptibility for issues to occur.

When damaged, the melanin production process changes, either by overproducing or losing the ability to create pigment. This is when issues occur, resulting in one of three types of pigment changes:

• Hyperpigmentation –– darkened pigment
• Hypopigmentation –– a lack of melanin in the skin
• Demarcation –– uneven pigment

Causes of hyperpigmentation may include:

Professional Treatments
