Hyperpigmentation & Sun Spots

hyperpigmentation

Hyperpigmentation encompasses skin darkening caused by excess melanin production, resulting from factors like sun exposure, hormonal changes, or skin damage. It manifests as patches or spots that appear darker than the surrounding skin. Sun spots, a type of hyperpigmentation, specifically arise from prolonged exposure to UV radiation, leading to localized darkened areas on the skin commonly known as solar lentigines or liver spots. Hyperpigmentation and sun spots can be effectively addressed through various treatments such as topical creams, laser therapy, and hydrafacials, each tailored to target and reduce the appearance of darkened areas on the skin.
