Skin pigmentation changes include:

Congenital skin pigment cell disorders, such as lentigines and café au lait spots
Freckles and age spots
Sun-induced changes in color Excessive pigmentation occurs especially in sun-exposed areas: the face, neck, décolleté area, and the backs of the hands.

A common problem in women is age spots, influenced by genetics, sun exposure, and hormones. Mechanical irritation can also cause darkening of the skin. Women may experience reddish-brown skin darkening on the sides of the neck (Civatte's poikiloderma), influenced by cosmetic products and the sun. Skin darkening can also result from laser resurfacing.

Age spots (Melasma) are primarily skin pigment changes that occur only in women. Age spots typically appear on women's faces as dark patches, most often during the summer months when sunlight exposure is at its peak. The most common locations are the forehead, cheeks, upper lip, nose, and chin.

The main risk factors are sun exposure and female hormones. Age spots often appear during pregnancy or after starting birth control pills. Skin melanocytes produce too much pigment, causing a change in color. Age spots can be treated, but the success of treatment depends on strict sun protection starting early in the spring.

Superficial pigmentation changes can be treated with IPL laser or skin peeling procedures.

The most effective treatment for pigmentation changes is laser therapy.

Treatment method

Using two energies, intensive light pulses and radiofrequency, they affect the pigment, it heats up and breaks down. Skin pigmentation changes may darken immediately after treatment, and the skin may slightly redden. There may be some swelling in the treated area. These symptoms usually last from a few hours to one day. Redness can be covered with makeup if desired. The darkened areas may peel and disappear a few weeks after the procedure.

Before the treatment

Self tanning products should not be used within two weeks before the treatment, and the procedure is not recommended for heavily tanned skin. The treatment is not administered if the patient has a pacemaker or defibrillator, and it is also contraindicated during pregnancy or breastfeeding.

After the treatment

It is important to protect the skin from the sun during the healing process and afterward to prevent new pigmentation changes.

After the treatment, it is advisable to exfoliate the area to promote the rapid ascent of the broken pigment to the surface of the skin and facilitate its shedding.
