What is Hyperpigmentation & How to Treat It

Posted on 09 Dec, 2020

Hyperpigmentation is a very common skin concern affecting people of all skin types. Typically, this is caused by sun exposure and appears as dark patches of skin across the face and body. Although it is harmless, many people will seek treatment to lighten and brighten these darker patches to even their skin tone. It is important to find the right treatments and speak with an expert regarding any skin concern, to ensure successful and safe results.

What is Hyperpigmentation?

Hyperpigmentation occurs when the skin produces more melanin (a skin pigment responsible for your skin’s colour). Hyperpigmentation can affect people of all skin types but is most commonly found to be a concern for people with Asian and Black African skin. This is due to the skin pigmentation being stronger in darker skin. It can be caused by sun exposure, Acne Spots and Blemishes, Folliculitis, Ingrown Hairs, Childhood Scars, Psoriasis, Eczema and more. This is a common skin issue affecting both Women and Men of various ages, across the face and body. Fortunately, it is harmless and can be treated.
