Body pigmentation can be caused by a variety of factors, including genetics, sun exposure, hormonal changes, medications, and skin conditions.
There are several derma-based treatments available for body pigmentation, which can help to reduce or remove pigmentation in affected areas of the body.
These include:
Topical creams: Prescription-strength creams containing hydroquinone, retinoids, or corticosteroids can be used to lighten or remove pigmentation.
Chemical peels: Chemical peels involve applying a solution to the skin that causes it to peel and shed its outer layer. This can help to reduce pigmentation by removing the top layer of skin where the pigmentation is located.
Laser therapy: Laser therapy uses a focused beam of light to target and break up the pigmentation in the skin. This can be an effective treatment for pigmentation caused by sun damage or melasma.
Microdermabrasion: Microdermabrasion involves using a machine to exfoliate the top layer of skin, which can help to reduce pigmentation and improve skin texture.
