Pigmentation and Asian Skin

Asian (people from China, Hong Kong, Japan, Singapore, Malaysia),Hispanic and Indian skin types, are generally darker than northern European skin types, because of the increased amount of melanin in the skin. Melanin is the pigment in the skin, which protects the skin from sunlight.

 

The pigment, melanin, in the skin protects the skin from sunlight and can protect against the signs of ageing.

 

However, as a result of the increased melanin and sun sensitivity, it is not uncommon for people from these geographical areas to develop pigmentation problems.

 

Irregular pigmentation and dark patches on the skin can be frustrating and worrying. Many people are anxious to remove or reduce them in a safe an effective way.

 

It is also fairly common for irregular pigmentation to occur after an inflammatory event such as an insect bite or an Acne spot. Again, this type of inflammation or damage can result in unwanted pigmentation.

 

Luckily, with the recent advances in aesthetic medicine, most types of pigmentation are now treatable, helping to remove or greatly reduce areas of pigmentation or discoloration.
