Understanding Hyperpigmentation
Hyperpigmentation is a common skin condition characterized by dark patches or spots on the skin. It can result from sun exposure, hormonal changes, or inflammation. Understanding the causes and treatment options is essential for effective management.
Treatment Options
Options that may help with the appearance of hyperpigmentation include:
- Topical skincare: Over-the-counter products containing vitamin C, niacinamide, or retinoids may help improve the appearance of dark spots. Some pigment treatments are available only by prescription and require assessment by a prescriber.
- NeoGen PSR: A nitrogen plasma treatment used for skin resurfacing and rejuvenation, which can improve the appearance of uneven tone and texture.
- Daily sun protection: Broad-spectrum sunscreen is the single most important step in preventing existing pigmentation from darkening further.
