Skin concern

Pigmentation & sun spots

Sun spots, dark patches & uneven tone, most often on the cheeks, nose & forehead.

80%

of visible facial aging is linked to sun exposure

Pigmentation & sun spots

Melanin is the pigment that gives skin its colour. Sun, hormones & past breakouts can make it cluster unevenly, & it shows up as sun spots, dark patches & uneven tone, most often across the cheeks, nose & forehead.

What triggers it

How pigmentation develops

Sun exposure

UV reaches the skin

Melanin responds

Pigment production rises

Spots surface

Clusters become visible

Tone deepens

Patches darken over time

Which kind is yours?

Three kinds of pigment, three answers.

Sun spots

Flat, defined brown spots where skin sees the most sun: cheeks, nose, forehead & hands. They build up over years.

Lumecca IPL treats this

Melasma

Larger, blurry patches, often matching on both cheeks, the forehead or upper lip. Sun & hormones set it off, & heat from light treatments can make it worse.

Peels & home care help with this. Not IPL.

After a breakout

A flat brown or pink spot left where a breakout healed. It usually fades on its own, & peels can help it along.
