Pigmentation is caused by excess melanin production triggered by sun exposure, hormonal changes (such as pregnancy or contraceptives), inflammation from acne or injury, and ageing. Sun protection is essential during and after any pigmentation treatment to prevent recurrence.

Skin lightening treatments reduce the concentration or production of melanin in the skin. Melanin is the pigment responsible for the colour of our skin, eyes, and hair, and helps protect it from the sun. Decreasing melanin concentration can help fade darker areas and even out skin tones.
