At Elite Aesthetics, radiant skin is more than a luxury—it’s a reflection of care, science, and expertise. One of the most common concerns we treat is hyperpigmentation, a condition where areas of the skin become darker than the surrounding skin due to excess melanin production. Whether you’re struggling with sun spots, melasma, or post-inflammatory marks, understanding hyperpigmentation is the first step toward achieving an even, luminous complexion.
What is Hyperpigmentation?
Hyperpigmentation refers to darkened patches or spots on the skin caused by an overproduction of melanin - the pigment that gives our skin its color. While it's not typically harmful, it can affect skin confidence and is often a visible sign of underlying skin stress or damage.
Common Types of Hyperpigmentation:
- Sun Spots: Often caused by cumulative sun exposure over time.
- Melasma: Hormonal pigmentation typically appearing on the cheeks, forehead, and upper lip.
- Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH): Dark marks left behind after acne, injury, or irritation.
What Causes Hyperpigmentation?
Several internal and external factors contribute to pigmentation concerns, including:
- UV Exposure: The #1 trigger for melanin production.
- Hormonal Fluctuations: Pregnancy, birth control, and hormonal therapies can lead to melasma.
- Inflammation or Trauma: Acne, cuts, or aggressive treatments can leave lingering dark spots.
- Genetics: Some individuals are more predisposed to developing pigmentation.
- Environmental Stressors: Pollution and oxidative stress accelerate pigmentation over time.
Prevention: Protecting Your Skin Daily
The best way to treat hyperpigmentation is to prevent it. Here’s how:
- SPF is Non-Negotiable: A broad-spectrum SPF 30+ is essential every single day—even indoors.
- Antioxidants: Ingredients like Vitamin C help protect against free radical damage and brighten skin tone.
- Avoid Picking: Resist the urge to pop or pick at blemishes, which can trigger PIH.
- Consistent Skincare: Gentle exfoliation and skin-brightening products help maintain even tone.
