All facial pigmentation is caused from increased amounts of melanin deposited in the skin, however the treatment depends on the underlying cause and depth in the skin.

Common causes of facial pigmentation.

1. Sun damage
Most areas of Australia have high UV levels and the excessive exsposure results in abnormal facial pigmentation as well as premature aging with wrinkles and surface capillaries.

Pigmentation that results from sun damage: freckles, liver spots, age spots and sun spots.

Before Photorejuvenation

After Photorejuvenation

2. Hormonal
All hormal pigmentation results from a combination of increased oestrogen and sun exsposure.
Melasma or chloasma caused by pregnancy or the pill has a maplike appearance common on the upper lip, cheeks and forehead.

Treatment of facial pigmentation depends on the cause.

Pigmentation that results from sundamage responds well to intense pulsed light treatment. In the form of photorejuvenation you will expect not only decreased pigmentation but also removal of facial capillaries and improved skin health. Treatment of melasma responds better to skin lightening treatments or fractional laser treatments.

It is important that the cause of your facial pigmentation is correctly diagnosed so an appropriate treatment can be provided and to distinguish pigmentation from early melanoma.
