Pigmentation Spots
Sun, age or hormones can leave spots on the skin — it's never a matter of not taking care of yourself. Solutions exist today to even out the complexion.
What it is, simply
Pigmentation spots are areas of darker skin caused by excess melanin. They most often appear on the face, hands or décolleté, as sun spots, melasma or marks left by past skin inflammation.
What causes pigmentation spots?
Cumulative sun exposure
UV rays stimulate melanin production, leading to sun spots over time.
Skin aging
Skin accumulates sun-related damage over the years, making spots more visible with age.
Pregnancy and hormones
Hormonal changes can cause melasma, more diffuse spots often linked to pregnancy.
Post-inflammatory marks
An acne lesion or skin irritation can leave a brown mark once healed.
Genetics
Some skin is naturally more prone to developing pigmentation spots.

Cutera photorejuvenation
