Hyperpigmentation is a common skin condition that occurs when certain areas of the skin become darker than the surrounding skin due to the overproduction of melanin. It can be caused by a variety of factors, including sun exposure, hormonal changes, inflammation, or skin injuries.
Creams or gels containing ingredients such as hydroquinone, retinoids, vitamin C, or kojic acid can help lighten dark spots over time.
A chemical solution is applied to the skin, which causes the top layer to peel off and reveals smoother, healthier-looking skin underneath.
Tiny needles are used to create small punctures in the skin, which stimulates the production of collagen and elastin and can improve the appearance of scars.
Laser treatments can target and break up the excess melanin in the skin, reducing the appearance of hyperpigmentation.
