Understanding and treating hyperpigmentation: A comprehensive guide to achieving a unified complexion

Dear patients and friends,

Hyperpigmentation affects millions of people worldwide. Whether it’s age spots (lentigos), melasma (often linked to hormones), or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation following imperfections, these skin marks result from an overproduction of melanin.

Why do the spots appear?

Melanin is the natural pigment that gives skin its color. However, under the influence of various factors, its production increases:

• The solar exhibition: UV rays remain the number one trigger, responsible for more than 80 cases % of premature skin aging and the appearance of spots.
• Hormonal variations: Pregnancy or the use of contraceptives can stimulate the appearance of the pregnancy mask (mélasma).
• Skin inflammation: Acne, injuries, or aggressive treatments often leave dark marks, especially on dark-skinned people.

What solutions for lasting results?

Fortunately, aesthetic science offers highly effective solutions today. By combining targeted chemical peels, advanced technologies (such as lasers or pulsed light) and an adapted cosmetic routine rich in melanin-inhibiting active ingredients (vitamin C, kojic acid, retinoids), it is possible to visibly reduce dark spots by more than 50 % to 70 % after just a few sessions.
