Pigmentation. More Than Just a Cosmetic Concern
Pigmentation is one of those things that can creep up quietly; a patch here, a freckle there, and before you know it, it’s all you can see when you look in the mirror. For some, it’s a sprinkling of sunspots after years enjoying the outdoors; for others, it’s darker patches that appear after pregnancy, skin injury, or simply with time.
At The Dr Jenni Clinic, based in the lovely village of Blisworth, we see clients from Northampton, Milton Keynes, Towcester, and the surrounding villages who feel self-conscious about pigmentation on their face, hands, décolletage, or elsewhere on their body. The good news? You don’t have to simply “live with it.”
What Causes Pigmentation?
Pigmentation happens when your skin produces extra melanin (the pigment that gives skin its colour) in certain areas. This can be triggered by:
- Sun exposure: UV rays stimulate melanin production, which is why freckles and sunspots appear more often on exposed areas.
- Hormonal changes: Pregnancy, menopause, or hormonal contraception can lead to melasma, where patches of pigmentation develop.
- Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation: Dark spots left behind after acne, eczema, or skin injury.
- Ageing: Over time, melanin production becomes less evenly regulated, creating uneven tone.
Why a Consultation is the First Step
While pigmentation may look similar on the surface, its cause — and the best way to address it — varies from person to person. That’s why we always start with a comprehensive skin consultation at The Dr Jenni Clinic.
We’ll carefully assess your skin, discuss your concerns, and identify the type and depth of pigmentation you have. From there, we can put together a personalised treatment plan. This might involve advanced light-based technology such as laser, or other proven techniques designed to reduce pigment and encourage your skin’s natural renewal.
Our Approach at The Dr Jenni Clinic
We believe in treating pigmentation with care, precision, and an eye for natural results. Your skin is unique, so your treatment plan should be too. Our focus is on:
- Creating a more even, radiant skin tone
- Reducing the appearance of dark spots and patches
- Supporting long-term skin health and resilience
