What Are Brown Spots and Pigmentation?

Brown spots and pigmentation issues occur when the skin produces excess melanin, the natural pigment responsible for skin color. They often appear as darkened patches, freckles, or age spots and can develop due to sun exposure, hormonal changes, or genetics. While they are generally harmless, they can impact your confidence and overall skin tone.

Common Causes of Brown Spots and Pigmentation

  • Sun Exposure: UV rays stimulate melanin production, leading to sun spots or freckles, especially on the face, hands, and chest.

  • Hormonal Changes: Conditions such as melasma can occur during pregnancy or from hormonal treatments.

  • Aging: Natural aging can trigger uneven pigmentation or age spots.

  • Inflammation or Skin Injury: Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) can result from acne, cuts, or other skin trauma.

Symptoms of Pigmentation Issues

  • Darkened patches or spots on the skin

  • Uneven skin tone or blotchiness

  • Freckles or age spots

  • Discoloration after acne or injury

How Pigmentation Is Diagnosed

At Q Dermatology + Aesthetics Centre, our dermatologists assess your skin through a detailed examination to determine the type and cause of pigmentation. Advanced imaging technology may also be used to evaluate pigmentation beneath the surface and to develop a personalized treatment plan.
