Uneven skin tone, characterised by dark spots, redness, or pigmentation imbalances, can affect your overall appearance and confidence. At My Dermatology Clinics, we offer treatments that help even out skin tone, targeting areas of hyperpigmentation and redness, leaving you with a smooth, glowing complexion.
Symptoms
- Dark spots or patches on the skin, often caused by sun exposure, acne scars, or ageing.
- Redness or blotchiness, particularly on the cheeks or nose.
- Uneven pigmentation, leading to a dull or lackluster complexion.
- Discolouration around the eyes or mouth.
- Skin that appears uneven in tone, with areas of lighter or darker pigmentation.
Causes and Risk Factors
Causes:
- Sun exposure, leading to sunspots or age spots.
- Hormonal changes, such as pregnancy or the use of birth control pills, which can cause melasma.
- Acne scarring, where skin tone changes as the result of inflammation or healing.
- Skin inflammation, such as eczema or dermatitis, that causes post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
- Ageing, which leads to changes in skin tone due to reduced collagen and skin elasticity.
Risk Factors:
- Excessive sun exposure without protection.
- Use of certain medications, including birth control or hormone therapy.
- Genetics, with some people being more prone to pigmentation issues.
- Darker skin tones may be more prone to hyperpigmentation.
- Pregnancy, due to hormonal changes that can cause melasma.
Treatment Options
- Chemical Peels: Exfoliate the skin to remove dead skin cells and improve the appearance of dark spots and uneven pigmentation.
- Laser Treatment: Target specific areas of pigmentation using focused light to break down melanin and even out skin tone.
- Topical Treatments: Products containing ingredients like vitamin C, niacinamide, and hydroquinone can help brighten the skin and reduce dark spots.
- Microneedling: Stimulates collagen production to promote skin renewal and even out tone.
- Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) Therapy: Uses light to target pigmentation, reducing sunspots and age spots.
Prevention Tips
- Always apply sunscreen with a high SPF to protect your skin from UV rays, which can worsen uneven pigmentation.
- Avoid excessive sun exposure, especially during peak hours.
- Follow a skincare routine that includes gentle exfoliation to promote cell turnover and reduce pigmentation build-up.
- Stay hydrated and eat a balanced diet to support overall skin health.
- Address skin concerns early with professional treatments to prevent pigmentation from becoming more pronounced.
