Hyperpigmentation

Hyperpigmentation is a common skin concern that can leave you feeling less confident. Whether caused by sun damage, aging, or acne scars, these dark patches can disrupt the even tone of your skin. LaseMD Ultra offers a solution for those seeking clearer, brighter skin without invasive treatments.

What is Hyperpigmentation?

Hyperpigmentation occurs when an excess of melanin—the pigment that gives skin its color—forms deposits in the skin, resulting in dark patches. It can vary in severity, ranging from small spots to widespread discoloration. Hyperpigmentation can affect anyone, though it’s more prevalent in people with darker skin tones due to higher melanin levels.

What Causes Hyperpigmentation?

Various factors can contribute to hyperpigmentation:

Sun Exposure. Prolonged UV exposure is one of the leading causes. The sun stimulates melanin production, leading to freckles and dark spots.
Hormonal Changes. Pregnancy, birth control pills, and other hormonal changes can trigger a type of hyperpigmentation known as melasma.
Acne and Skin Trauma. Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) occurs after skin injuries like acne, eczema, or other irritations, leaving dark spots.
Aging. With age, the skin’s ability to heal diminishes, making it more susceptible to discoloration.
Genetics. Some individuals are genetically predisposed to hyperpigmentation, especially if it runs in their family.

What Are the Symptoms of Hyperpigmentation?

The symptoms of hyperpigmentation can vary depending on the underlying cause, but they typically include:

Darkened Patches. Skin appears darker than the surrounding areas, often as brown, black, or gray patches.
Uneven Skin Tone. The pigmentation creates noticeable differences in skin tone.
Freckles or Sunspots. Small, dark spots often caused by sun exposure.
Melasma. Larger, brown patches on the face, often due to hormonal changes.
Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH). Dark spots that develop after an acne breakout or skin injury.

These symptoms can vary in size, shape, and intensity depending on the cause.
