Pigmentation
Contrary to popular belief, discoloration is the first sign that our skin is aging. Remembering that age equals experience, each freckle, dark patch or sun spot is evidence of the skin’s experiences. Environmental exposure, hormonal changes and acne scarring are common causes of cell damage. Damaged cells have an impaired ability to replicate, often changing color. It can take many years for the cumulative damage to become evident, but when it does, it is frequently in the form of clustered, darkened cells, known as hyperpigmentation. Depending on the underlying source of the pigmentation, treatment options vary.
