Treating pigmentation spots with microneedling
Removing pigment spots with microneedling is a frequently used, successful cosmetic treatment method today, as pigment spots are often perceived as annoying and a sign of ageing.
Pigment spots are very common, as around 80% of all people have skin discolouration on some part of their body.
Pigment spots are particularly common in areas that are usually more exposed to the sun.
These include the scalp, face and hands.
There are various causes and different types of pigment spots. We would like to explain both in more detail below.
Causes of pigment spots
Of course, UV radiation is not the only cause of pigmentation spots.
In addition to the sun, hormonal fluctuations, such as those associated with pregnancy, skin diseases, genetic predisposition and the use of certain medications can also lead to pigment spots.
Light-coloured skin spots also frequently occur after inflammation, as is often the case with acne, for example.
In contrast to hyperpigmentation, these are referred to as post-inflammatory hypopigmentation.
The white spot disease, known as vitiligo, is also a type of hypopigmentation.
There are also other causes of pigmentation spots, which is why we recommend that you consult a dermatologist before undergoing treatment.
Different types of pigmentation spots
As you have read above, there are many different reasons for pigmentation spots.
It is therefore understandable that there are also many different types of pigmentation spots.
We will briefly discuss the most important types below.
Pigment spots or age spots
The cells in the skin that produce the colour pigment melanin are called melanocytes.
They are located in the basal cell layer of the epidermis.
But they are not only found there, as they are also located in the hair follicles, where they are responsible for hair colour through their melanin production.
The natural, and if there is no pigmentation disorder, even pigmentation of the skin serves to protect the skin from intensive UV radiation, which can penetrate into the deeper layers of the skin.
However, if pigmentation disorders occur, your skin may produce too much of the colour pigment melanin in places, which can lead to pigmentation spots.
This occurs particularly frequently with intensive and frequent sun exposure.
As a rule, age spots are nothing more than pigment spots that occur as a result of being exposed to the sun more often with increasing age than is the case in younger years.
Age spots as well as other pigment spots caused by UV radiation can be treated well with microneedling. You can find out more about the best way to remove pigmentation spots with microneedling below.
Pigmentation spots during pregnancy
The development of pigmentation spots during pregnancy, known as melasma or chloasma, is linked to your altered hormone balance.
If you develop pigmentation spots during your pregnancy, we advise you not to do anything at first, as in most cases the pigmentation spots will disappear on their own.
So give your skin some time after pregnancy and don't rush things.
Post-inflammatory pigmentation spots after acne
Post-inflammatory pigmentation marks after acne are often visible as light-coloured patches of skin.
In contrast to pigment spots caused by excessive and frequent UV radiation, they are not caused by excessive melanin production but by insufficient melanin production, which is why they fall under the term hypopigmentation rather than hyperpigmentation.
This type of pigmentation can also be treated with microneedling. More on this later.
Moles
Moles, which are often also referred to as liver spots, are usually genetic.
Genetic moles can be visible immediately after birth, but they can also appear later.
You should not try to remove moles with microneedling, as you will not succeed and it can also be very dangerous if the supposedly harmless mole is a melanoma (black skin cancer).
If you want to get rid of a mole, please go to a dermatologist!
Freckles
Freckles have the characteristic that their intensity goes hand in hand with the intensity of UV radiation.
This means that the more you expose your skin to the sun, the more freckles will form.
This means that before you try to remove freckles with microneedling, you should try to avoid sun exposure.
Although you can treat them with microneedling and thus minimise them somewhat, they will always reappear more frequently when exposed to UV radiation as they are genetically determined.
White spot disease (vitiligo)
Vitiligo or white spot disease is a skin disease.
Vitiligo is not hyperpigmentation, but a pigment disorder that results in hypopigmentation.
For this reason, it is important that you consult an experienced dermatologist for treatment.
We strongly advise against a microneedling treatment.
Removing pigmentation spots - microneedling combined with fruit acid peeling

To remove pigmentation spots quickly and successfully with microneedling, we recommend pretreating the skin with a fruit acid peel.
Please note: Many fruit acid peels are only intended for professional use, as anyone applying an acid to their facial skin should know what they are doing.
Of course, the same applies to microneedling treatments.
If, for example, you use a fruit acid peel with a very low pH value, which means it is very intensive, and you exceed the maximum exposure time of the peel, this can lead to damage to your skin through chemical burns.
However, in experienced hands, fruit acid peels provide excellent results, which is why we also recommend combining fruit acid peel treatments with microneedling treatments.
As a fruit acid for pigmentation spots, we recommend tranexamic acid, mandelic acid or azelaic acid to break up melanin accumulations and minimise pigmentation spots.
After thoroughly cleansing the facial skin, first carry out the peeling treatment according to the manufacturer's instructions and then perform the microneedling treatment.

Which serum is the right one to remove pigmentation spots with a Dermaroller or Dermapen?

To remove skin spots with microneedling, Utsukusy Cosmetics offers the Tranex White Cocktail, the Depigmenting Serum, the Scars and Skin Marks Cocktail, which was specially developed for scars and skin spots, and the C-Retinal Microneedling Serum.
You will find the Scars and Skin Marks Cock tail simply labelled Scar Serum.
The main active ingredients of the Tranex White Cocktail are tranexamic acid, niacinamide and regenerine.
The active ingredients in the depigmentation serum are melavoid and niacinamide.
The main active ingredients in the scar serum are allantoin and dragon blood.
The C-Retinal Serum is based on the active ingredients retinal and vitamin C
The use of the vitamin cocktail from Utsukusy Cosmetics with its active ingredients niacinamide and vitamin Calso makes sense.
To successfully remove pigmentation spots with microneedling, it certainly takes more than just a microneedling treatment.
And if you have already had a look around our website, you will already know that we believe that it makes sense not to always use the same serum, but that it is beneficial to use different serums.
