Hyperpigmentation is a common skin condition where patches of skin become darker than the surrounding skin. The skin develops its pigment from melanin produced by the skin cells. When a skin cell is unhealthy, it can produce excess melanin. Skin darkening occurs when extra melanin forms deposits on the skin. Melanin produces brown, black, grey, pink, and red pigments on the skin. When accumulated in areas of the skin, spots of hyperpigmentation can occur. Hyperpigmentation can emerge in a variety of different skin conditions. These include liver spots, melasma, and more.
Hyper means more, and pigment means color. Hyperpigmentation spots can appear differently on different skin tones, with areas emerging of brown, black, grey, red, and pink shades. Hyperpigmentation spots are commonly called sunspots, liver spots, and age spots.
A variety of things can cause hyperpigmentation. These include hormone changes, medication, sun damage, vitamin deficiency, injury, and genetics. Hyperpigmentation is a cosmetic concern and does not cause physical pain in the skin. Hyperpigmentation may cause emotional problems to arise, including insecurity and a decrease in self-confidence. Through hyperpigmentation treatment, you can feel like your best self again. XEO laser, secret PRO, and microneedling are all treatment options for hyperpigmentation.
