Sun exposure and UV damage

Acne or skin inflammation
-
Age-related changes
-
Genetics and lifestyle factors

Frequently Asked Questions About Facial Pigmentation
What is facial pigmentation?
Facial pigmentation refers to dark spots, patches, or uneven skin tone caused by excess melanin production. Common types include melasma, sunspots, freckles, and post-inflammatory pigmentation from acne or skin injuries.
What causes facial pigmentation?
Facial pigmentation is usually caused by sun exposure, hormonal changes, genetics, aging, acne scarring, or inflammation. UV rays are the leading trigger because they stimulate melanin production.
Is facial pigmentation permanent?
Most types of pigmentation can be reduced or significantly lightened with the right treatment plan. However, melasma can recur without proper maintenance and sun protection.
What is the best treatment for facial pigmentation?
The best treatment depends on the cause and type of pigmentation. Laser treatments work well for sunspots; chemical peels and topical agents help with mild pigmentation; and microneedling may improve deeper or stubborn spots. A professional assessment is recommended.
How long does it take to see results from pigmentation treatment?
Results vary depending on the treatment. Many people see improvement within 2–4 weeks, with full results appearing after several sessions. Deeper pigmentation may take longer.
Is facial pigmentation preventable?
Yes. Wearing sunscreen daily, avoiding excessive sun exposure, managing acne properly, and using antioxidants like vitamin C can help prevent new pigmentation from forming.
Is pigmentation the same as melasma?
No. Melasma is one type of pigmentation caused mainly by hormonal changes. It appears as brown or grayish patches, usually on the cheeks and forehead. Other types include sunspots and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
