Pigmentation

in Vienna, VA

What Is Pigmentation?

Pigmentation refers to areas of discoloration on the skin, such as dark spots, freckles, or melasma, caused by excess melanin production. This condition is often triggered by sun exposure, hormonal changes, or skin inflammation. Pigmentation can affect confidence by creating an uneven skin tone. Advanced treatments work to fade dark spots and reduce discoloration, leaving the skin brighter and more even.

Pregnancy or birth control pills can trigger pigmentation issues like melasma.
Inflammation from acne, injuries, or skin treatments can result in pigmentation.
With age, melanin tends to accumulate, causing age spots.
