Skin patches that become darker than the surrounding skin are referred to as hyperpigmentation. The pigment that gives skin its colour, melanin, causes it when the skin produces too much of it. People of all skin types may be impacted. Due to the higher melanin content of darker skin tones, it occurs frequently on people with coloured skin.
The skin may create more melanin as a result of burns, bruising, acne, rashes, or other trauma and develop black spots. Hyperpigmentation may result from some drugs. An adverse effect of various chemotherapy medications is hyperpigmentation. Some women’s melanin synthesis may be impacted by pregnancy’s alteration of hormone levels.
Among the cosmetic treatments for hyperpigmentation are:
Chemical peels,Strong pulsed light and laser therapy.
People thinking on whether to get one of these procedures should speak with a Revitalis dermatologist about the process and any adverse effects.
Dermatologists at Revitalis might advise various lifestyle modifications depending on the causes of the hyperpigmentation: Staying out of the sun, applying sunscreen, and wearing protective clothing can help prevent solar damage. Stopping any medications that may be causing it. Vitamin intake.
