Understanding Pigmentation: Causes, Types, and Treatments
Hyperpigmentation refers to darkened patches of skin caused by excess melanin production, often triggered by sun exposure, hormonal changes, or skin trauma. At Neo-Derm Clinics, we provide advanced solutions to fade pigmentation and restore an even, radiant complexion. Explore the key types of hyperpigmentation and discover the treatments designed to target each concern effectively.
Condition Breakdown
Hyperpigmentation affects individuals differently, with various forms requiring specialised care. Explore the common types of hyperpigmentation below.
Sunspots are flat, dark patches caused by prolonged sun exposure, commonly found on the face, hands, and chest.
Melasma appears as larger, patchy areas of pigmentation, often triggered by hormonal changes such as pregnancy or oral contraceptives.
PIH occurs after skin trauma, acne, or other injuries, leaving dark spots behind.
Freckles are small, flat spots of concentrated melanin often enhanced by sun exposure, typically seen on fair skin.
Aging can lead to an uneven skin tone with dark spots due to slower skin renewal and sun exposure over time.
Our tailored treatments for hyperpigmentation combine expert dermatological care with the latest technology to deliver noticeable, long-lasting results. Trust Neo-Derm Clinics to guide you toward clearer, radiant skin.
