The Pigmentation Protocol

The Pigmentation Protocol

Hyperpigmentation is one of the most common skin care concerns and affects all skin types. Hyperpigmentation occurs when melanin is overproduced, leading to visible discoloration. This is overwhelmingly caused by sun damage, acne scarring, or hormonal fluctuations. To properly treat pigmentation, you must tackle both the root cause of the problem and the surface.

For this, we recommend Biologique Recherche, one of the most trusted brands with a focus on science-backed clinicals that correct discoloration and deliver noticeable, long-lasting results.

What Causes Skin Pigmentation?

Understanding the causes of hyperpigmentation is key to choosing the right treatment.

Pigmentation can come from several sources. Understanding the source of your hyperpigmentation can then help you to choose the best treatment.

1. Sun Damage 

By far the most common cause of hyperpigmentation is sun exposure. UV rays cause the skin to produce more melanin as a means of protection. To prevent this, daily application of SPF is a must.

2. Hormonal Changes & Melasma

Many women experience hyperpigmentation during or after pregnancy. This is known as melasma. It is usually found on the cheeks, forehead and upper lip.

3. Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation

This type of pigmentation is caused by trauma to the skin such as acne or skin picking. Without treatment, these types of marks tend to linger for months.
