What is hyperpigmentation?
Patches of skin that are hyperpigmented become darker than the surrounding skin tone. It generally occurs when the skin produces extra melanin, which balances the skin tone. It can appear on any skin type.
What is the basic reason behind hyperpigmentation?
1. Melanin overproduction is a common cause of hyperpigmentation. The pigment called melanin is what gives skin its natural colour.
2. Hyperpigmentation may result from certain medications. Additionally, hyperpigmentation is a side effect of certain chemotherapy medications.
3. Some women's production of melanin may be impacted by pregnancy-related changes in hormone levels.
4. Melanin levels can also rise as a result of prolonged sun exposure.
What are the best hyperpigmentation treatments recommended by the dermatologist?
1.Alma Q Laser: The first and best treatment for treating hyperpigmentation is an Alma Q laser treatment, which uses a Q-switched laser to target the targeted area, removing the spots from the deep layer of skin.
2. Face Acids: Face acids for hyperpigmentation help to exfoliate the skin and eliminate dark spots. There are several face acid options available, such as kojic acid, glycolic acid, and vitamin C.
3. Chemical peels: These procedures use a strong concentration to remove hyperpigmentation spots from the epidermis layer of skin. There are three varieties of chemical peels: light, medium, and deep. People can select a type based on their skin type, conditions, and advice from the dermatologist. All skin types can benefit from laser peels. There are two kinds of laser ablatives used in this procedure: the non-ablative one, which the skin specialist applies based on the patient's skin type. Because they use stronger lasers, ablative lasers are more beneficial for people with fair skin, while non-ablative lasers are more frequently used by people with darker skin tones.
