What Is Hyperpigmentation?

Hyperpigmentation refers to areas of skin that become darker than the surrounding tissue due to excess melanin production. Common types include melasma, sun spots (solar lentigines), post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), and freckles. Causes range from sun exposure and hormones to inflammation and aging.

Who Can Benefit from Hyperpigmentation Treatment?

• People with sun damage or age spots on the face, neck, or hands
• Individuals with melasma triggered by hormones, pregnancy, or UV exposure
• Those with acne-related dark marks (PIH) or residual discoloration from past breakouts
• Patients with dull, uneven skin tone who want a brighter, more uniform complexion
• Anyone seeking professional help after ineffective at-home treatments
