Hyperpigmentation

Hyperpigmentation refers to increased pigmentation of the skin. It is of particular concern when it occurs in visible areas of the body, such as the face. When approaching treatment of hyperpigmentation, it is important to consider the underlying cause for the hyperpigmentation and the depth within the skin that the pigment is located. It is also important to consider a person’s skin colour and ancestral origin, as well as the role of ultraviolet radiation and visible light.

As well as products to address the pigmentation, ensuring the appropriate sun protection measure is put into place is also important.
