What is Pigmentation?

Pigmentation refers to the coloration of the skin, primarily due to the production of melanin by cells called melanocytes. Hyperpigmentation is the darkening of an area of the skin, while hypopigmentation refers to lighter patches.

What Is Hyperpigmentation?

Hyperpigmentation refers to skin patches that are darker than the surrounding areas. This condition arises either due to an excessive number of melanocytes, the cells that produce melanin, or when these melanocytes become overly active. Essentially, it's the result of increased melanin production in the skin.

Types of Facial Hyperpigmentation

Melasma: Characterized by gray-brown patches, melasma commonly appears on the cheeks, forehead, nose bridge, chin, and upper lip. It's often triggered by hormonal changes like pregnancy, menopause, or prolonged use of oral contraceptives and can worsen with sun exposure.
Freckles: These are small brown spots primarily caused by sun exposure. They can appear at any age and are most prevalent on the face, neck, chest, and hands.
Solar Lentigens: Also known as age spots, these dark clusters usually manifest in your late thirties or early forties due to years of sun exposure.
PIH (Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation): Often a byproduct of skin trauma or inflammation like acne, PIH leaves a dark spot once the initial issue heals.
Birthmarks: These are pigmentations present from birth or appearing during puberty. Moles, a type of birthmark, may fade, remain constant, or evolve over time.
