Pigmentation Treatment
Pigmentation means the change or discoloration of the skin color. Pigmentation can occur due to various reasons such as sun exposure, hormonal changes, aging, genetic factors, skin diseases, injuries or medications. Pigmentation can affect the appearance and self-confidence of the person negatively. Therefore, there are many people who seek pigmentation treatment.
Pigmentation treatment can be done with different methods depending on the type, size, depth, location and duration of the spot. The most common methods used for pigmentation treatment are:
- Medical Treatments:In this method, prescription or over-the-counter drugs are used to reduce or eliminate the color change in the skin. These drugs contain substances that suppress or renew the melanin production or skin cells in the skin. These drugs can be in the form of creams, lotions, gels or pills. Medical treatments are suitable for people with mild or moderate pigmentation problems. Medical treatments can cause side effects or skin sensitivity in long-term use. Therefore, they should be used under the advice and supervision of a doctor.
- Peeling:In this method, chemical substances are used to peel off the stained layer of the skin. These substances dissolve the upper layer of the skin, allowing the underlying healthier and more even-colored skin to emerge. Peeling can be done at different depths. Superficial peeling peels off the top layer of the skin, while medium or deep peeling reaches the lower layers of the skin. Peeling is suitable for people with moderate or advanced pigmentation problems. Peeling can cause side effects such as redness, burning, flaking or infection on the skin. Therefore, it should be done by an expert doctor.
- Mesotherapy:In this method, substances such as vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, amino acids or hyaluronic acid are injected into the skin with thin needles. These substances moisturize, nourish, renew and reduce the spots on the skin. Mesotherapy is suitable for people with any kind of pigmentation problem. Mesotherapy can cause side effects such as bruising, swelling, pain or allergy on the skin. Therefore, it should be done under sterile conditions and by an experienced doctor.
- Whitening Treatments:In this method, laser, light or chemical substances are used to lighten the skin color in areas such as genital or armpit. These methods reduce or peel off the melanin production or skin cells in the skin, making the skin lighter in color. Whitening treatments are suitable for anyone who prefers them for personal reasons. Whitening treatments can cause side effects such as burn, stain, irritation or infection on the skin. Therefore, they should be done in a reliable center and by an expert doctor.
