Edit How can pigmentation be treated

<p><strong>So what are the triggers?</strong></p> <p>A common trigger is skin tone; pigmentation can affect darker skin, resulting in lighter or darker patches. Other triggers can be Increased oestrogen levels in pregnancy, sun exposure and certain drugs.</p> <p><strong>How can I get rid of my pigmentation?</strong></p> <p>The answer is… that it’s not easy. Pigmentation, once you have it, is like a boomerang, and it just keeps coming back. The cooler months are the best time to treat pigmentation, as just a session in the sun can see it returning. Yes, it’s that simple!  Pigmentation is a stubborn enemy, and it can take skin treatments a year to suppress the cells that produce the pigment. One day in the sun can undo all that work.</p> <p><strong>Fight and prevention</strong></p> <p><strong>SPF.</strong><br />Sun protection is vital, and that includes hats and stepping out of the sun and into the shade.</p> <p><strong>Shop</strong><br />Vitamin C… and vitamin E are key, and because not all products are created equal, and because many of us tend to get choice paralysis when selecting skincare, let me make this easier for you. Serums and other facial products containing L Asorbic Acid are recommended. If those products also contain vitamin E this will assist in the effectiveness of the vitamin C in the skin. Vitamin C, combined with SPF, is the most effective way to treat and prevent further pigmentation. Try a 15% to 30% L Asorbic Acid formulation for optimum results, Antioxidants like vitamin C, vitamin E and Niacinamide all contribute to the fight against and prevention of pigmentation.</p> <p><strong>Treat</strong><br />Chemical Peels are the answer to pigmentation. These can either be completed in small courses and at medium depth, or a deeper peel can be more effective for quicker results, it all depends on how much downtime you can spare. A deeper peel would mean that the skin could be more irritable and visibly red for some time after treatment.</p> <p>Micro-needling is another super-successful strategy for delivering those healing ingredients deeper into the skin. Micro-needling allows us to access the deeper layers of the skin through micro channels to infuse the skin with brightening agents. Typically, results would be visible after a series of 6 sessions.</p>
