Overview for The chemistry of treating pigmentation

A brief description about this Activity.

Pigmentation is one of the most difficult skin conditions to treat, and contrary to optimistic marketing, there is not one chemical solution that works effectively. There are several what is termed "intervention points" along the path of pigment formation, and each requires a specific type of chemical to reduce or halt the formation of pigment. Because there is no one chemical that can interfere with the melanogenesis process 100%, there must be a minimum of four, or best-case scenario five chemical "interventions" required to have maximum success.The objective of this course is for learners to understand the chemistry that influences cellular processes involved in pigmented skin conditions in order to make a measurable difference to treatment programs and interventions dealing with this skin condition.At the completion of the course, graduates will: Understand the process of melanogenesis and how pigment is formed Understand the five intervention points in the melanogenesis process where change can be effected chemically Understand the preparatory steps required to ensure positive outcomes Understand how MSH inhibitors and antagonists work and the types Understand how Tyrosinase inhibitors work and the types Understand how pigment granule and melanosome transfer inhibitors work and types Understand cellular defence systems and the role they play in treating pigmentation
