Melanin is a pigment your body produces. It gives your hair, eyes,
and skin its colour. Hyperpigmentation occurs when melanin
overproduces and dark, irregular patches of skin appear. These
patches typically occur on the cheeks, upper lip, and forehead.
Common hyperpigmentation causes include:
 Sun Exposure: the sun’s ultraviolet or UV rays
cause your body to produce more melanin.
While this offers the tan many sun-seekers
pursue, it also possessed the greatest risk for
hyperpigmentation and sunspots.
 Pollution: airborne toxins cling to your skin
and weaken it, which allows the sun and
other causes to activate melanin
overproduction.
 Inflammation: anything that distresses your skin inflames it and causes high amounts of
melanin production. Distresses include insect bites, acne, and cuts. Even excessive
scratching and rubbing can trigger melanin production.
 Melasma: these dark patches commonly develop
during pregnancy (mask of pregnancy), but occur in
men and for other reasons. Experts, hormones, sun
exposurebelieve it results from a combination of
genetics and perhaps oral contraceptive use.
 Medical Circumstances: medical conditions such
as biliary cholangitis, Lupus, hemochromatosis,
and Addison’s Disease can cause
hyperpigmentation. As well, some chemotherapy,
nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory, psychotropic, and
antibiotic medications can trigger melanin
overproduction.
How to Treat Hyperpigmentation
There are two effective ways to treat hyperpigmentation:
 Chemical Peels: chemical peels use specific
substances to seep into skin and reduce and
eventually eliminate the damaged,
hyperpigmented layers. Treatment leaves skin
looking, healthy, fresh, and even toned.
 Laser Therapy: laser therapy is the most effective
way to decrease hyperpigmentation. The lasers
actually permeates skin and targets specific areas
to obliterate melanin and readjust pigmentation.
