Hyperpigmentation refers to the darkening of certain areas of the skin, resulting in uneven skin tone and patches. It is primarily caused by the overproduction of melanin, the pigment responsible for skin colour. There are various factors that can contribute to hyperpigmentation, including sun exposure, hormonal changes, acne scars, and skin inflammation.

Excessive sun exposure is a significant cause of hyperpigmentation, as UV rays stimulate melanin production. Hormonal changes, such as those occurring during pregnancy or with the use of certain medications, can also lead to the development of dark spots. Acne scars and inflammation can trigger an increase in melanin production, resulting in post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

To effectively address hyperpigmentation, it is important to protect the skin from harmful UV rays by using broad-spectrum sunscreen daily. Additionally, incorporating skincare products with ingredients like vitamin C, kojic acid, and niacinamide can help brighten the skin and reduce the appearance of dark spots. Professional treatments like SkinPen, Dermalux and Hydrafacial can also be beneficial in fading hyperpigmentation.
