Preventing Skin Pigmentation in Adelaide is Easy

Pigmentation in Adelaide is nothing scary. It merely means coloring of the skin. Our skin gets its color from layers of a pigment known as melanin and disorders in skin pigmentation can affect the color of skin. Melanocytes are special cells in the skin that make melanin. When these cells are damaged or become unhealthy, it affects the production of melanin. This results in either loss of pigment better known as hypo-pigmentation or overproduction of pigment better known as hyper-pigmentation. Most common pigmented lesions are age spots, liver spots, actinic Keratosis and pigmented nevi. Chloasma or Melasma are other forms of pigmentation caused by pigmentation. They contain high concentrations of melanin and can be caused by too much exposure to sun, aging, genetics or even injury.

Pigmentation in Adelaide can be treated by using skin lightening agents or creams and state of the art laser techniques. Topical creams and lotions have ingredients, which inhibits the enzymes producing an excess of melanin and increases the turnover of the skin to remove the existing pigmentation. If the skin appears darker compared to surrounding areas, it means that skin cells are producing an excess amount of melanin, which results in darker skin. Decreasing the production of melanin makes the skin tone lighter. Bust as we are always known that prevention is better than a cure to maintain the original texture of the skin.

We can prevent the occurrence of the Pigmentation in Adelaide by applying an SPF 50+ sunscreen daily, even if it is cloudy, or overcast. There are two types of sunscreens, physical and chemical sunblocks. Physical sunscreens are not absorbed by the skin and protect from the sun for an extended period as compared to Chemical sunscreens, which are absorbed by the skin and needs to be applied to every 2 hours. It is only when our skin cells are healthy; they secret the exact amount of melanin for maintaining the pigmentation.
