Take control of your Hyperpigmentation

Hyperpigmentation is a common skin condition where certain areas of the skin become darker than the surrounding skin due to an excess production of melanin - the natural pigment that gives skin, hair, and eyes their color.

For many people, these dark patches can feel frustrating, making the skin look uneven, aged, or dull. Hyperpigmentation often lingers after acne breakouts, sun exposure, or hormonal changes, and can be difficult to treat with over-the-counter products alone. Left untreated, it may worsen over time, especially with continued sun exposure.

Our team of expert dermatologists can help identify the exact cause of your hyperpigmentation and recommend safe, effective treatments tailored to your skin type - helping you restore a clearer, brighter and more even complexion.

What causes hyperpigmentation?

The most common causes of hyperpigmentation are:

  • Sun exposure – UV rays stimulate melanin production, making spots darker.

  • Hormonal changes – pregnancy, birth control, or hormonal fluctuations can trigger melasma.

  • Skin irritation or inflammation – acne, rashes, or even harsh skincare products can leave dark marks (post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation).

  • Lack of treatment or prevention – without proper care (like sunscreen), pigmentation often becomes more noticeable.

Underlying health conditions, like thyroid issues or vitamin deficiencies, can also contribute.

Is hyperpigmentation permanant?

Not always. Many types of hyperpigmentation, like post-inflammatory dark spots from acne, can fade over time with the right treatment and sun protection. However, chronic conditions like melasma may require long-term management.

How do dermatologists treat hyperpigmentation?

Dermatologists may recommend topical treatments (such as retinoids, vitamin C, hydroquinone, or azelaic acid), chemical peels, laser therapy, or microdermabrasion. The best treatment depends on the type and cause of hyperpigmentation.

Can hyperpigmentation be prevented?

Yes. Daily use of broad-spectrum sunscreen, wearing protective clothing, and avoiding picking at acne or skin injuries are key prevention steps. Antioxidant-rich skincare products may also help.

What’s the difference between hyperpigmentation and melasma?

Hyperpigmentation is a broad term for any darkening of the skin, while melasma is a specific type of hyperpigmentation often triggered by hormones, pregnancy, or sun exposure, usually appearing as symmetrical patches on the face.

Does hyperpigmentation affect all skin types?

Yes, but it tends to be more noticeable and persistent in medium to darker skin tones due to higher natural melanin levels. Dermatologists can tailor treatments to different skin types for safe and effective results.
