Understanding Pigmentation and How the Obagi Skincare System Can Help

Pigmentation refers to the coloring of the skin, determined by melanin, a natural pigment produced by cells called melanocytes. While pigmentation is normal, certain conditions can cause irregularities, leading to hyperpigmentation or hypopigmentation.

• Hyperpigmentation occurs when patches of skin become darker than the surrounding areas. Common causes include sun exposure, hormonal changes, inflammation, and certain medications.
• Hypopigmentation is characterized by patches of skin that are lighter than the surrounding areas, often due to conditions like vitiligo or albinism.

Pigmentation issues can affect anyone, regardless of skin type or colour. They can lead to uneven skin tone, dark spots, and a blotchy appearance, which may impact self-esteem and confidence. Addressing these concerns often requires a comprehensive skincare approach.
