What is hyperpigmentation?
Hyperpigmentation is a common skin condition where certain areas of the skin become darker than the surrounding skin. This happens due to excess production of melanin, the pigment responsible for skin color.
What causes hyperpigmentation?
Hyperpigmentation can be triggered by several factors, including sun exposure, acne scars, hormonal changes (such as melasma), inflammation, aging, and certain medications.
How can I reduce hyperpigmentation?
Reducing strategies include:
- Wearing sunscreen daily (SPF 30 or higher)
- Avoiding excessive sun exposure
- Not picking at acne or skin injuries
- Using gentle skincare products to avoid irritation
How long does it take to see results?
Results vary depending on the severity and treatment method, but most people begin to see improvements within 4–24 weeks of consistent use of targeted skincare products.
