Body Pigmentation & Texture
What Is Body Pigmentation?
Body pigmentation refers to darkened patches or uneven skin tone that appear on areas such as the underarms, inner thighs, back, knees or elbows.
Uneven body texture may include roughness, small bumps or patchy discolouration that affects overall skin smoothness. Unlike facial pigmentation, body pigmentation may develop due to friction, hormonal changes or post-inflammatory changes.
Why Does Body Pigmentation Develop?
Common contributing factors include:
Pigmentation and texture concerns often require targeted treatment rather than topical products alone.
What Should Be Targeted?
Effective treatment should focus on:
- Reducing excess melanin
- Improving skin cell turnover
- Refining rough texture
- Supporting skin barrier health
- Preventing recurrence
Gradual improvement is typically more sustainable than aggressive treatment.
