Pigmentation Treatment

Skin color is a function of the size, number and the distribution of melanin cells. Visible pigmentation in human results from the synthesis and distribution of melanin in the skin, hair bulbs and eyes. Melanin plays a crucial role in the absorption of free radicals generated within the cytoplasm and in shielding the host from various types of ionizing radiation, including the UV light. Thus, melanin protect the skin against sun burn. The essential enzyme in melanin biosynthetic pathway is tyrosinase, the only enzyme absolutely required for melanin production.

Skin pigmentation depends upon different factors :

• Duration and frequency of exposure to UV and sun.

• Skin age that renders skin more susceptible to skin pigmentation.

• Hormonal factors that activate tyrosinase.

• Genetic factors that control susceptibility.
