Pigmentation and Freckles

Pigmentation is often known as freckles, age spots, birth marks depending on how deep they are within the skin.

Melanocyte's are the cells within the skin anchored at the basement membrane. They release pigment when exposed to Ultraviolet radiation from the sun.

Sometimes this can result in a localised increased release of pigment known as hyper pigmentation. Hormones or medications can also effect the release of excess pigment within the skin due to the skin being sensitive to the UV exposure.

The lack or destruction of pigmentation is known as hypopigmentation.

The reason behind the release of pigment is one of the skin's defences to UV, protecting the cell's nucleus (DNA information storage needed for cell reproduction.) The melanocyte branches up within the layers of skin cells act as an umbrella over the cells nucleus and DNA protected, important for healthy cell division.

The formation of freckles is triggered by exposure to sunlight. The exposure to UV-B radiation activates melanocytes to increase melanin production, which can cause freckles to become darker.

Freckles are predominantly found on the face, although they may appear on any skin exposed to the sun, such as the shoulders.

Skin Care

Mediiskin LightSkin Serum - 100% natural, no preservatives, colours, or fragrances

It is quite common for treatments of skin discoloration to have traumatizing ingredients. Logically, knowing that trauma (inflammation) is a leading cause of pigmentation, it makes no sense to use ingredients like Hydroquinone that stimulate pigment (through inflammation) while attempting to lighten it.

Mediiskin LightSkin reduces the skin's ability to work around the tyrosinase inhibitors because each lightener uses a slightly different method on the melanocyte and they all work together with great synergy.

The results are phenomenal. It quickly evens skin tone and fades hyperpigmentation while promoting skin health restoration.

Mediiskin SunSkin - 100% natural, no preservatives, colours, or fragrances

MediiSkin SunSkin is by far the most moisturizing sunblock on the market, and a must for people with Pigmentation & Freckles.

MediiSkin SunSkin provides significant broad spectrum sunblock protection utilizing silica-coated micronized zinc. This is the safest sunblock ingredient available because it does not break down like uncoated zinc and it does not absorb into our system like micronized titanium.

*Mediiskin SunSkin, and LightSkin, are exclusively available from the Facial Attraction on-line store or talk with one of our clinicians at a clinic near you.
