How do pigment spots appear?

The formation of pigments in the skin

First, it is important to understand the pigmentation process to treat these brown spots effectively. The latter are the result of a overproduction and irregular distribution of melanin natural pigment made by melanocytes. Melanin gives the skin its colour. It is responsible for your pretty tanned complexion when the sun comes out. It also acts as a shield against the sun's rays by multiplying and producing more melanin to protect the skin.

But melanocytes, cells located at the base of the epidermis, are fragile and easily disrupted: for example, in the event of intense exposure to UV rays, stress or hormonal upheaval. These disruptions induce hyperstimulation of the melanocytes, which then produce too much melanin. When too much melanin is produced, the skin cells are no longer able to defend themselves against free radicals and this encourages the appearance of pigmentation spots.

The different types of pigment spots

Often less dark than a mole, the pigment spot is variable in shape, irregular in shape and can spread and turn brown over several centimetres.

The spot also evolves in different stages according to the importance of the pigment disorder:

- The incipient dark spot appears when the melanocytes are over-stimulated.producing too much melanin that rises to the surface of the epidermis. It can be seen that the complexion is no longer as homogeneous in some areas, although the stain is invisible to the naked eye.

- The installed dark spot appears when the excess melanin reaches the upper layers of the epidermis.. Dark spots gradually set in and become visible.

- The recurring dark spos indicates that the environment of the pigment cells is disturbed. The dark spot reappears at any time, even after it has been removed from the surface.

    What are the main causes of brown spots?

    Although pigmentation disorders affect a good number of women, certain factors can encourage the formation of these skin imperfections:

    - Repeated and prolonged exposure to the sun promote the appearance of solar lentigos. This is the main cause of hyperpigmentation.

    - The use of photo-sensitizing products Perfumes, hormonal or medicinal treatments.

    - Hormonal change related to pregnancy in some cases reveals what is called "the pregnancy mask".

    - Too frequent and aggressive exfoliation can cause skin inflammation.

    - Age slows down the natural renewal of cells, leading to the appearance of "age spots".

    - Post-inflammatory scars, following an acne pimple, a scar or certain dermatological problems such as eczema. The skin darkens and discolours after the wound has healed.
