Hyperpigmentation occurs when the skin produces excess melanin, the pigment that gives skin its color. It can affect any skin type and is more likely during pregnancy, with older age, or after an injury. Hyperpigmentation can vary from person to person in the way it presents. General signs of the condition include:
Hyperpigmentation is the result of the melanocytes in the skin producing more melanin, the substance that gives color to skin. This can be triggered in a variety of ways. Hormonal fluctuations, such as during pregnancy, can cause the condition.
Some diseases, such as Addison’s disease, and certain prescription drugs can also cause hyperpigmentation. Those with darker complexions are at a higher risk of developing the condition since their skin contains more melanocytes. Excessive sun exposure can also increase hyperpigmentation.
Microneedling with radiofrequency specifically uses radiofrequency energy to gently heat the deeper layer of skin. Then as the skin grows back with new collagen and elastin, the surface will naturally thicken and tighten.
Chemical peels are composed of acids that exfoliate dead skin cells and stimulate new skin cells to come to the surface, making your skin appear healthier and more youthful.
