Hyper-pigmentation
& sun damage
What are hyperpigmentation & sun damage?
Hyperpigmentation and sun damage refer to common skin concerns often characterized by patches of darker skin tone or discoloration. Hyperpigmentation occurs when there is an excess production of melanin, leading to spots or patches that are darker than the surrounding skin. This can be caused by factors such as sun exposure, hormonal changes, or inflammation. Sun damage specifically refers to skin changes like freckles, age spots, and uneven skin tone caused by prolonged exposure to ultraviolet (UV) rays. Both conditions can affect individuals of all skin types and ages, impacting not just appearance but also self-confidence. Treatment options range from topical creams and serums to more advanced medical procedures, all aimed at reducing pigmentation and restoring a more even skin tone. Regular sun protection and skincare routines are crucial in managing and preventing further damage.
