What Is Hyperpigmentation?

Hyperpigmentation is a frequent skin concern characterized by areas of skin that appear darker than the surrounding tissue due to an overproduction of melanin. It can affect individuals of all skin tones and typically appears on the face, hands, or other areas frequently exposed to the sun. Common triggers include UV damage, hormonal fluctuations (as seen with melasma), post-inflammatory responses, or skin trauma. Although not usually harmful, hyperpigmentation can impact self-esteem and often benefits from professional treatment to reduce its appearance and help prevent future discoloration.

 

Signs & Symptoms of Hyperpigmentation

Hyperpigmentation typically appears as darker areas or inconsistent skin tone. Common indicators include:

  • Dark Patches or Spots: Areas of intensified pigment often linked to sun damage or the natural aging process.
  • Uneven Complexion: Irregular skin tone caused by melanin overproduction.
  • Melasma: Dark, symmetrical patches that frequently develop on the cheeks, forehead, and upper lip, commonly influenced by hormonal changes.
  • Post-Inflammatory Pigmentation: Residual dark marks following acne breakouts, skin injuries, or inflammation.
