Skin pigmentation is a common problem
affecting many people nowadays. Skin pigmentation can be caused because of
various factors such as excessive exposure to the sun, heredity, hormonal
issues, side effect of medication, etc.
Face skin pigmentation is treated
using specialized products containing effective ingredients and tools using the
latest technology. Laser treatment is a process that has become quite popular
to deal with skin pigmentation, especially on the face. There are many pros and
cons of face skin pigmentation treatment, some of them are discussed briefly
here.
Non-prescription creams with
ingredients such as antioxidants, lemon extract, liquorice extract, etc. can
help lighten the pigmentation marks. They are easily available in the market
and you can find one that suits your skin type. It is advisable to consult a
dermatologist. Prescription topical solutions are far more effective and
produce results faster as compared to non-prescription cream. You can use them
as prescribed by the dermatologist and get results over a period of time. If
you end up using the wrong cream for your skin type, it can lead to burning,
stinging, redness or swelling, sometimes resulting in an acne breakout.
Microdermabrasion and chemical peels
are two other options that can help lighten the pigmentation, making your skin
appear more even. These treatments are not painful since they deal with
applying a solution to the skin to remove the dead top layer revealing smooth
and even skin. These two methods work best when you are dealing with
superficial pigmentation. You must get these treatments done at a reputed skin
clinic by an expert skin care specialist
only. If you do not protect your skin from the sun after these treatments, you
may develop pigmentation again.
Laser treatment is the best
treatment for face skin pigmentation producing long-lasting results. This
treatment method may require several sessions and a proper after-care is a
must. It can be quite risky and dangerous to go to an inexperienced doctor who
does not possess the necessary skills, experience, and qualification for the
treatment of facial pigmentation.
One must also consider the potential
side effects of laser treatment for facial pigmentation. This includes a slight
stinging or burning sensation, redness, swelling, bruising and some dry patches
on the face post-treatment.
