Skin discoloration occurs when excess melanin develops unevenly within the skin. Common causes include UV exposure, hormonal fluctuations, inflammation, acne, environmental stress, and the natural aging process.
Patients throughout San Carlos frequently seek professional pigmentation treatment to address:
Repeated sun exposure remains one of the leading causes of visible pigmentation concerns throughout Northern California. Over time, UV radiation may trigger excess melanin production, accelerating visible discoloration and premature skin aging.
Patients seeking the best treatment for facial hyperpigmentation often benefit from combining multiple therapies that target pigment at different levels within the skin.
