Understanding Pigmentation
Pigmentation occurs when melanin production increases, leading to dark patches or uneven tone.
Common causes include:
✓ Sun exposure
✓ Skin inflammation or injury
✓ Hormonal changes (pregnancy, menopause)
✓ Certain medications
✓ Ageing and genetics
What is Melasma?
Melasma is a type of pigmentation that appears as brown or grey-brown patches, often on the cheeks, forehead, upper lip, and chin. It’s usually symmetrical and may resemble a butterfly mask.
Unlike standard pigmentation, melasma is often hormonal — triggered by pregnancy, birth control, or menopause — and worsened by sun or heat exposure.
Melasma sits deeper in the skin, making it more complex to manage. Incorrect treatments or sun exposure can worsen it, so professional advice is essential for safe and effective care.
