What is a Pigmented Lesion or uneven Pigment?
When you examine your skin, you may see small areas or regions that appear different compared to the surrounding skin. These are known as skin lesions, which may develop anywhere on your face and body. You may want a lesion removed if it is unattractive, painful, or irritating. While many lesions are harmless and noncancerous, a lesion that has changed over time may need to be biopsied to test for cancerous cells. If you have a lesion or are experiencing uneven pigment that you would like examined or eliminated, schedule an appointment within our state-of-the-art facility. Most pigmented lesions or areas of uneven pigment will be removed in one of our treatment rooms at About Face & Body Medical Spa in Katy, TX.

Pigmented Lesions FAQ
What causes uneven skin pigmentation?
Uneven skin pigmentation can be caused by several factors, including sun exposure, hormonal changes, aging, and acne scars. Sun exposure is one of the most common causes, leading to dark spots or hyperpigmentation. Hormonal changes, such as during pregnancy or with birth control, can also trigger discoloration. Additionally, skin conditions like acne or injuries can leave behind post-inflammatory pigmentation.
Which skin treatment is right for me?
The right skin treatment for you depends on your specific skin concerns, goals, and skin type. Our team will work with you to assess your needs and recommend treatments that are tailored to your unique situation. Whether you're dealing with pigmentation issues, fine lines, or texture concerns, we offer a variety of nonsurgical treatments to help achieve your desired results, from chemical peels to laser therapies.
How can I prevent uneven skin pigment?
Preventing uneven skin pigmentation begins with protecting your skin from the sun by wearing sunscreen daily, even on cloudy days. Wearing protective clothing, such as hats, and avoiding direct sun exposure during peak hours can also help. Additionally, maintaining a consistent skin care routine with products that support skin health, like gentle exfoliators and antioxidants, can help prevent the development of dark spots or uneven skin tone.
