Pigmentation

Pigmentation manifests itself in the form of dark spots or patches on the skin caused by factors such as sun exposure, hormonal shifts, acne scars, and aging. While these spots are harmless, they can make skin look uneven and dull. At Berkowits Hair and Skin Clinics, we specialize in addressing pigmentation issues, aiming to restore your skin’s natural brightness and achieve a smoother, more uniform complexion.

Types of Pigmentation

Melasma

This type appears as larger, darker patches and is often linked to hormonal fluctuations (such as pregnancy or birth control). It typically affects the cheeks, forehead, and upper lip, being more prevalent in women.

Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH)

PIH occurs after skin injury or inflammation, such as from acne or cuts, leading to darker spots where the skin has healed.

Sunspots (Solar Lentigines)

Commonly known as “age spots” or “sun spots,” these flat brown marks occur from extended sun exposure and frequently show up on areas like the face, hands, and shoulders.

Freckles

Small, light brown spots that are genetic, freckles can become more noticeable with sun exposure. They are harmless but can be diminished with treatment if preferred.

Liver Spots

These spots, which tend to appear in older adults, resemble sunspots but are usually darker and more widespread, resulting from a combination of age and sun exposure.

Pigmentation Treatments Available

Chemical Peels

Chemical peels eliminate the outer skin layer, decreasing dark spots and encouraging new, uniformly toned skin underneath. Cosmelan peel done at Berkowits gives best results.

PRP Therapy (Platelet-Rich Plasma)

Utilizing your body's platelets, PRP is known for its rejuvenating effects, promoting healing and gradually lightening pigmentation over time.

Microdermabrasion

A non-invasive approach that lightly exfoliates the skin’s top layer, enhancing texture and aiding in the fading of pigmentation through multiple sessions.

Laser Pigmentation Removal

This method employs laser light to target and break down pigment, assisting in fading dark spots and gradually evening out skin tone.

IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) Therapy

Using various light wavelengths, IPL reduces pigmentation and enhances collagen, proving effective for treating sunspots and freckles.

IV glutathione

IV Glutathione is a potent antioxidant treatment that helps reduce pigmentation, brighten dark spots, and even out skin tone from within. It is administered through an IV drip.
