Pigmentation spots can cause distress and uncertainty in an individual as our appearance plays a huge role in giving us confidence and motivation. However, due to genetic variance and environmental factors, melanin particles begin to form prematurely. Melanin is the substance that provides your flesh, hair, and eyes colour. Melanocytes, which are located inside this outermost layer of the skin generate melanin. Everyone has approximately the exact number of melanocytes. Nevertheless, some individual cells contain greater melanin than others, as do certain types of melanin. The darker the skin is, hence more melanin one has. Melanin can accumulate in certain regions and produce skin discolouration, which physicians sometimes refer to as hyperpigmentation. Whenever sections of the skin are deeper than others, this is referred to as hyperpigmentation. In this article we will be looking into the types of melanin, where are they produced in the body, hyperpigmentation caused by excessive melanin and the treatment methods that can reduce dark spots and hyperpigmentation for clearer skin. These methods also include the PicoCure Pigmentation Removal Treatment found at New Beauty Australia- a dual-technology laser energy pigmentation treatment that removes excess melanin to give you a radiant, even and spotless face!
