So what exactly is pigmentation?
Skin spots affected by a substance called “melanin” (a pigment that lies between the layers of the skin and determines its color).
Melanin is formed somewhere in the skin and makes its way into cells with the help of chemical processes, which can be affected by a number of factors such as: sun exposure, hormones, genetics, stress, drugs – thus changing its color – so-called “skin pigmentation”.
How is acne related to pigmentation?
Acne is a common skin disease, usually occurring in teens (about 80% of teens suffer from acne).
Acne lesions develop around hair follicles affected by hormonal changes, clogging of the opening of the hair follicle by infection or dirt, increased milk production in the mammary glands or bacterial infection.
The same lesions can disappear completely in some cases and in many cases they will remain on the skin in the form of spots or dents.

Aside from maintaining facial skin and rinsing with special soap, many cases will require cosmetic intervention.
Accumulation of dirt and suitable cells can be removed by cosmetic, professional and thorough facial treatment (it is advisable to do this in a place that specializes in dermatology and cosmetic treatments).
