Pigmentation is caused by excess melanin production. Common triggers include sun exposure, hormonal changes, inflammation, acne, and skin injuries.
No, there are different types of pigmentation such as sunspots, melasma, and post-inflammatory pigmentation. Each type requires a different treatment approach.
Some pigmentation can be significantly reduced, but complete removal is not always possible. Ongoing maintenance is often needed to keep results consistent.
Results vary depending on the type and severity of pigmentation. Most patients begin to see improvement over several weeks to months with consistent treatment.
Pigmentation can return, especially with sun exposure or ongoing triggers. Proper skincare and daily sun protection are essential to maintain results.
