is a medical term to describe dark patches on the skin and uneven skin tone. This condition usually exists when there is an excess of melanin, causing the formation of deposits in the skin. Hyperpigmentation can affect people at all ages and any skin type. However, some forms of Hyperpigmentation are more prone to affect sun exposed areas of the body like the face, arms and legs. Other forms can affect any area of the body where the person had inflammation or injury. At NoviSkin, we pride ourselves on offering our patients specialised hyperpigmentation treatments, more commonly known as skin lightening treatments or skin whitening treatments. All our treatments are individual and unique to the patient’s skin condition. COMMON TYPES OF HYPERPIGMENTATION
Sunspots – These are from frequent sun exposure and ageing that makes skin appear uneven. These spots are mostly seen on sun exposed areas like the Face, Arms and Legs. They tend to be small, darkened patches of skin. Melasma – Dark patches related to changes in hormone levels but largely related to sun exposure. These patches are known for showing on the face. Pregnancy, or woman that take birth control pills are more likely to develop this type of pigmentation, as they often trigger an excess amount of melanin. Post-inflammatory Hyperpigmentation – Dark spots left by injury (cuts and burns) or any inflammatory skin condition for example acne and lupus. LASER SKIN LIGHTENING TREATMENTS
