Types of Hyperpigmentation
- Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) – Dark marks left after acne, injuries, or irritation.
- Sunspots (age spots/liver spots) – Small, flat, brown spots from prolonged sun exposure.
- Melasma – Larger, blotchy patches commonly caused by hormonal changes.
What Causes Hyperpigmentation?
- Sun exposure – UV rays trigger excess melanin production, leading to dark spots.
- Hormonal changes – Pregnancy, contraceptives, or menopause can cause melasma.
- Skin trauma – Acne, cuts, or burns can leave behind pigmentation.
- Inflammation – Eczema, psoriasis, or allergic reactions can contribute to PIH.
How Can It Be Treated?
- Microneedling with Exosomes – Boosts cell turnover and fades pigmentation.
- Polynucleotides – Reduce oxidative stress and help repair uneven skin tone.
- Skin Boosters – Improve hydration and skin barrier function, preventing further pigmentation.
