Pigmentary disorders cannot be defined
under a single category.
Even when appearing similar on the surface,
their anatomical depth, underlying causes,
and density vary distinctly.
Clearing surface pigment alone is not enough;
simultaneously treating dermal inflammation
and vascular dilation is essential to prevent recurrence.
Factors Causing Melasma
-
Genetic Factors
Inherited hyper-active
melanocytes -
UV & Friction
Melanocyte hyperactivity
in compromised skin -
Hormonal Factors
Pregnancy, oral contraceptives,
hormonal changes,
metabolic shifts
Factors Causing Hyperpigmentation
-
UV Exposure
Accelerated melanin synthesis
-
Skin Irritation
Post-inflammatory
hyperpigmentation (PIH)
from acne or wounds -
Repeated Friction
Continuous friction from shaving,
masks, etc.
Therefore, treatments merely aimed at
"erasing" surface spots
lead to frequent recurrence
and heightened skin sensitivity.
