Hyperpigmentation
Human skin color is determined by the concentration of a pigment present in the skin known as melanin. Sometimes, skin starts producing more melanin, which causes spots or patches that are darker than the surrounding skin. This condition is known as hyperpigmentation and is a very common skin problem that can affect all skin types. Hyperpigmentation can be treated efficiently by skin lightening treatments. Skinisma Aesthetics provides the best pigmentation treatment in Delhi.
These treatments are a cosmetic procedure that helps in lightening the dark areas of skin and getting a brighter, natural, and even skin tone. The treatment reduces the production of melanin pigment in the skin, ultimately decreasing the pigment concentration in the skin. This gives the skin a brighter and lighter skin tone.
Types of Hyperpigmentation
Hyperpigmentation can be of four major types depending on the cause due to which they have appeared:
Freckles
These are tiny dots of hyperpigmentation that are generally due to repeated sun exposure. These spots are visible if you have a very fair skin tone. These are the first signs of sun damage and are one of the most common types of pigmentation.
Solar lentigines
Solar lentigines are also known as age spots because they generally appear in older adults. These spots occur on the sun-exposed areas of your skin and may range from light brown to black. These pigmentations must be taken seriously to convert into melanoma or skin cancers.
Melasma
These are large patches of darkened skin that affect pregnant women or if the woman is taking birth control pills. This pigmentation is also common in people who have darker skin.
Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation
These are spots or patches of darkened skin that affect people with inflammatory skin conditions like eczema or acne. This pigmentation may also appear in people who have had injuries to their skin.
Causes of Hyperpigmentation
Exposure to the sun: When you are exposed to the sun for a very long period, your skin starts producing more melanin to protect itself from the heat of the sun. Therefore, this increased concentration of melanin causes age spots or sun spots to appear on the skin.
Skin inflammation
Darkening of the skin can also be due to inflammation and acne, which leave the skin with blemishes and acne marks.
Hormonal changes
The fluctuations in the level of hormones can also cause the development of darker patches on the skin.
Reaction to medicines
Certain medications (antimalarial and antidepressant) can also cause dark patches to appear on your skin.
Medical conditions
Some medical severe conditions like Addison’s disease and hemochromatosis can also lead to hyperpigmentation.
Vitamin deficiency
Sometimes, deficiency of specific vitamins like B12 and folic acid can also cause hyperpigmentation.
Skin disorders
Cutaneous changes in conditions like lichen planus pigments, systemic sclerosis, and porphyria cutanea tarda also cause hyperpigmentation, requiring proper diagnosis and treatment accordingly.
