Body Pigmentation
Uneven Tone, Post-Inflammatory Marks & Discolouration Correction
INTRODUCTION – UNDERSTANDING BODY PIGMENTATION
Body pigmentation presents as uneven tone, dark patches or persistent discolouration across areas such as:
- Back
- Chest
- Arms
- Shoulders
- Legs
Pigment irregularities may develop gradually through sun exposure or appear following inflammation, acne or skin injury.
Unlike stretch marks, pigmentation affects colour rather than dermal structure.
CORE BIOLOGICAL CAUSES
Body pigmentation develops when melanocytes produce excess melanin in response to:
- UV radiation
- Inflammation (post-acne marks)
- Friction
- Skin trauma
- Hormonal fluctuation
Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) is common following body acne.
Pigment depth varies between superficial epidermal and deeper dermal layers.
VISUAL & STRUCTURAL IMPACT
Body pigmentation may:
- Create patchy tone
- Reduce smooth appearance
- Affect confidence in exposed clothing
- Emphasise texture irregularities
Even mild discolouration can disrupt overall skin uniformity.
TREATMENT OPTIONS AT AETERNITAS
Treatment selection depends on pigment depth and skin type.
Aeternitas may recommend:
EXFU 980+ Vascular & Pigment Mode
Targeted energy-based pigment correction where clinically indicated.
Advanced Brightening Protocol
Non-inflammatory tone stabilisation and melanin control.
Dermalux LED Phototherapy
Supports healing and pigment balance.
Thermal Prime & Cryo Seal
Barrier stabilisation to reduce rebound pigmentation risk.
Each technology is detailed fully on its respective page.
HOW WE SELECT THE RIGHT APPROACH
Consultation assesses:
- Pigment depth
- Fitzpatrick skin type
- History of PIH
- Hormonal influence
- Sun exposure habits
Darker skin types require conservative protocols to reduce risk of rebound hyperpigmentation.
WHAT RESULTS TO EXPECT
Treatment aims to:
- Reduce dark patches
- Improve overall tone
- Enhance brightness
- Balance melanocyte activity
Results develop gradually across multiple sessions.
Complete pigment elimination is not always realistic; blending and lightening are achievable.
TREATMENT EXPERIENCE
Energy-based sessions may involve mild warmth.
Infusion-based protocols involve light tingling and cooling.
Sessions last 30–60 minutes depending on body area size.
RECOVERY & DOWNTIME
Temporary redness may occur following energy-based pigment protocols.
Strict SPF application is essential.
Downtime varies depending on treatment intensity.
LONGEVITY & MAINTENANCE
Pigment control requires:
- UV discipline
- Maintenance sessions
- Inflammation control
- Hormonal awareness
Results may last several months with proper care.
MEN VS WOMEN
Men often present with sun-induced pigmentation on shoulders and upper back.
Women may experience PIH following acne or friction.
Protocols are adjusted accordingly.
LIFESTYLE FACTORS
Pigmentation is influenced by:
- Sun exposure
- Heat exposure
- Friction
- Hormonal fluctuation
- Skincare practices
Daily SPF use is essential for exposed body areas.
WHEN TO CONSIDER SURGICAL REFERRAL
Rapidly changing or irregular pigmented lesions require dermatological evaluation.
