This article has been reviewed and approved by certified skin therapist Magdalena on August 17, 2025

Pigment spots on the face are something many of us get sooner or later and it can feel a little sad when you see them in the mirror, but there are actually both explanations for why they appear and a good way to prevent and treat them. At Estetikcentrum in Malmö, we help you regain an even and radiant skin tone with treatments that are as effective as they are gentle.

Why pigment spots appear

It is not uncommon for pigment spots to appear over the years and it is particularly common if you have spent a lot of time in the sun. It often involves an overproduction of melanin (the pigment we have in our skin) that causes dark areas to appear. It can look like small brown or gray spots and is also known as age spots or sun spots.

However, it is not only the sun that plays a role. Hormones, certain medications and even skin inflammations can trigger these changes. For example, being pregnant, taking the pill or having acne can affect your skin more than you might think.

Prevent and treat pigment spots

The best way to avoid pigmentation spots is to protect your skin from the sun. It may sound boring, but high factor sunscreen actually makes a huge difference. Remember, you need to apply it every day, even on cloudy days. Don't forget your neck, décolletage and hands where the skin is thin and sensitive.

What if the stains are already there? Well, then there is really good help available. At Estetikcentrum we use Alma Rejuve which is an advanced IPL technology that is both fast, effective and safe. It goes deep and works away pigment spots that have appeared on both the neck and face or other parts of the body.

Best of all, you won't feel any discomfort thanks to the built-in cooling system, and you can get back to your daily routine straight after the treatment. Your skin may turn a little red after the treatment, but this doesn't usually last long. In addition to getting rid of pigment spots, your skin will also get a boost. Many of our customers also experience improved skin tone, smoother texture and reduced fine lines. It's a win-win in every way.
