Hyperpigmentation

Using advanced solutions such as chemical peels, laser treatments, and medical-grade skincare, we help visibly reduce pigmentation and restore a more balanced, radiant complexion.

What Is Hyperpigmentation?

Hyperpigmentation is a widespread skin condition characterized by areas of skin that appear darker than the surrounding tissue due to increased melanin production. It can develop on any skin type and often appears on the face, hands, or other areas frequently exposed to the sun. Triggers include prolonged sun exposure, hormonal shifts (such as in melasma), inflammation, or previous skin injuries. Although it is generally not a medical concern, hyperpigmentation can impact self-esteem and may benefit from professional treatment to improve appearance and prevent further darkening.

Signs & Symptoms of Hyperpigmentation

Hyperpigmentation typically appears as darkened areas or uneven patches on the skin. Common signs include:

  • Dark Spots: Localized areas of excess pigment, often caused by sun damage or the natural aging process.
  • Uneven Tone: Discolouration that results in an inconsistent or blotchy complexion.
  • Melasma: Brown or grey-brown patches, usually symmetrical, commonly found on the forehead, cheeks, or upper lip.
  • Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation: Dark marks that remain after acne breakouts, skin injuries, or inflammation.

Recognizing these signs early can help guide effective treatment and prevent further pigmentation issues.
