HYPERPIGMENTATION
Hyperpigmentation is when certain spots on the skin look darker than the skin around them because of too much melanin being produced. This condition can develop from various causes, including sun exposure, hormonal fluctuations, acne, inflammation, and skin injuries. Common forms of hyperpigmentation include melasma, sunspots (solar lentigines), and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. While it is not harmful, hyperpigmentation can cause uneven skin tone and texture, particularly on the face, chest, and hands. Addressing this condition involves treatments that target melanin production, exfoliate the skin surface, and promote cell turnover to encourage a clearer and more balanced appearance.
Hyperpigmentation can appear in people of any skin type, but it might be more noticeable or last longer in individuals with darker skin tones. It often worsens over time if left untreated or exposed to UV light. Managing the condition starts with identifying the underlying cause and selecting treatments that safely target pigmentation without irritating the skin. Non-invasive options like chemical peels, Collagen P.I.N.®, NOUVADerm™, and Scarlet RF® can help reduce discoloration and improve skin clarity. These treatments vary in strength and focus, allowing for customized care depending on the severity and type of hyperpigmentation. Sessions are typically quick and require little recovery time.

Treatments for Hyperpigmentation
Chemical Peels
Chemical peels use substances like glycolic acid, salicylic acid, or lactic acid to shed the outer layer of skin. By promoting cell renewal, these peels help lift pigment from the surface and fade discoloration over time. They also improve skin texture and tone. The strength of the peel is selected based on skin sensitivity and the depth of pigmentation. A series of treatments often delivers optimal results, with mild flaking or redness expected after application.
