Introduction
At Oceanaconte Spa & Clinic, we understand that flawless, even-toned skin is a vital aspect of beauty. However, pigmentation concerns like acne scars, freckles, sunspots, and uneven skin tone can compromise your skin's perfection. While makeup offers a quick fix, it's merely a temporary solution. Achieving naturally blemish-free skin necessitates the right skincare regimen and targeted treatments.
Types of Pigmentation
Excessive pigmentation occurs when melanin accumulates in the epidermal and dermal layers, leading to changes in skin colour. Our clinic specializes in treating various pigmentation concerns, including:
Acne Scars
These are post-acne marks, ranging from pink and red to brown or dark brown
Sunspots
Typically oval, ranging from deep to light brown, commonly appearing on the face, forearms, hands, calves, and thighs. They may initially manifest as sunburn symptoms like pain, itching, and peeling.
Freckles
Light to dark brown spots found on the face, upper chest, arms, often in round or oval shapes.
Age Spots
Common on sun-exposed areas, these appear as light to dark patches.
Additional Pigmentation Concerns
Melasma
Large patches, dark brown or bluish-grey, primarily affecting the face.
Moles
Varying in size and colour, these can appear on the face or body.
Friction-induced Darkening: Typically observed on body areas subject to friction.
Riehl's Melanosis: Initially accompanied by mild itching and redness, these areas darken over time.
Understanding Pigmentation Causes
The cause of pigmentation issues is multifaceted. It primarily involves melanocytes becoming overactive due to external stimuli, resulting in an excessive melanin output. In addition to external factors, internal factors can contribute to melanocyte overactivity
-
Skin Inflammation: Inflammatory responses lead to melanin production, aiming to protect skin cells from damage. Once the inflammation subsides, the affected area may retain dark pigmentation.
-
Hormonal Changes: Periods like pregnancy, menopause, and hormonal treatments can stimulate melanocytes, causing pigmentation.
-
Genetics: Pigmentation issues occurring before the age of 18 may have genetic links.
-
UV Radiation: Prolonged, unprotected sun exposure can lead to direct skin damage, prompting melanocytes to secrete excess melanin.
-
Chemical Substances or Medications: Use of cosmetics with harmful chemicals or specific topical medications may induce pigmentation.

Chemical Skin Peels
Our chemical skin peels are perfect for addressing facial pigmentation concerns. They work by blocking melanin production, eliminating old keratin layers and gradually reducing superficial pigmentation. This process results in a more even skin tone and offers additional benefits, such as smoother skin, reduced fine lines, refined pores, and the creation of youthful, flawless skin. After a chemical skin peel, maintaining proper sun protection measures is crucial to prevent melanin reactivation and the formation of new pigmentation.
