How does it work?

Pigmentation refers to the color of the skin, determined by the production of melanin, a pigment produced by melanocytes in the skin. Various factors, such as genetics, sun exposure, hormonal changes, and skin conditions, can influence melanin production. Hyperpigmentation occurs when melanocytes produce excess melanin, leading to dark patches or spots on the skin, while hypopigmentation results in lighter areas. Management involves sun protection, skincare products containing ingredients like hydroquinone or retinoids to regulate melanin production, cosmetic procedures like chemical peels, laser therapy, and microneedling to target pigmentation irregularities, and lifestyle changes to minimize pigmentation issues and promote even skin tone.
