What Are Pigmented Lesions?
Pigmented lesions are areas of excess melanin in the skin, resulting in dark spots, freckles, sunspots, or age spots. These discolorations can develop due to sun exposure, genetics, or hormonal fluctuations, and they may darken or become more noticeable over time. While pigmented lesions are typically harmless, they can create an uneven skin tone or aged appearance. Many individuals seek professional treatments to fade pigmentation, restore skin clarity, and achieve a more radiant complexion. With the right approach, these spots can be lightened or removed for smoother, more youthful-looking skin.
What Are the Causes of Pigmented Lesions?
- Sun Exposure: UV rays trigger melanin production, leading to darkened patches and spots.
- Hormonal Changes: Pregnancy and hormonal fluctuations can cause pigmentation changes such as melasma
- Genetics: Some individuals are more prone to freckles and age spots due to hereditary factors.
- Aging: Over time, pigment cells cluster, creating uneven skin tone and discoloration.
