The Functional Medicine Approach to Pigmentation
Pigmentation – especially melasma and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation – is a complex skin condition that isn’t just about sun exposure or skin type. At Omnia Health, we approach pigmentation from the inside out, addressing root causes that are often overlooked.
Melasma, in particular, is linked to:
- Hormonal imbalances (pregnancy, contraception, perimenopause)
- Liver detox load
- Inflammation and oxidative stress
- Sun exposure and heat
- Skin barrier damage
As explained by DermNet, these factors create a perfect storm that leads to excessive melanin production.
