Pigmentation Concerns

Hyperpigmentation occurs when melanin production becomes excessive in specific areas of the skin, leading to darker patches or spots. Common forms of hyperpigmentation include age spots, sunspots, and melasma.

Conversely, hypopigmentation refers to a decrease in melanin production, resulting in lighter patches on the skin.

Hyperpigmentation causes darkened areas, whereas hypopigmentation causes lighter areas on the skin. Both conditions can impact one’s self-esteem and confidence.

Hyperpigmentation can arise due to various factors, including prolonged sun exposure, hormonal changes, skin injuries, and certain medications. Understanding the underlying cause is essential for effective treatment.

In most cases, age spots (lentigines) are benign and a result of sun damage. However, it is crucial to consult a medical professional to rule out any potential skin cancer concerns.

A range of treatment options is available to address hyperpigmentation, including topical creams, chemical peels, laser therapy, and microdermabrasion. Our team of skilled professionals will tailor a personalized treatment plan to suit your unique needs and concerns.

Melasma is a specific type of hyperpigmentation characterized by dark, irregular patches, often triggered by hormonal changes and sun exposure. Effective treatment options include topical medications, chemical peels, and laser therapy.

To prevent melasma from worsening, it is essential to protect your skin from the sun, avoid hormonal triggers, and follow a customized skincare routine recommended by our experienced medical team.
