Treatment for Skin Hyperpigmentation

What is Hyperpigmentation?

Hyperpigmentation refers to a condition where patches of skin become darker in color than the surrounding skin. It occurs when there is an excess production of melanin, the pigment that gives skin its color.

At Brunswick Medical Spa with locations in East Brunswick and Princeton NJ we can offer several treatment options for hyperpigmentation. We often combine and mix our treatments. Our goal is to achieve as much sustained lightening as possible with our treatment near and in East Brunswick NJ.

What Causes Hyperpigmentation?

Hyperpigmentation in the skin is caused by an increase in melanin, the body’s natural pigment that is responsible for the color of human skin, hair, and eyes.

1. Sun Exposure: UV rays stimulate melanin production, leading to sun spots or age spots.
2. Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH): Darkening of the skin after inflammation or injury, such as acne scars or wounds.
3. Hormonal Changes: Conditions like melasma, which often occur during pregnancy or due to hormonal contraceptives, can cause patches of darker skin.
4. Medications: Certain medications can cause hyperpigmentation as a side effect.

Treatment for Skin Hyperpigmentation

Treatment for skin hyperpigmentation depends on the underlying cause and severity of the condition. Here are some common treatment options:

1.Chemical Peels: Exfoliate the skin to reduce pigmentation.

2. IPL Therapy: Targets melanin-producing cells to reduce pigmentation.

3. Microdermabrasion: Exfoliates and removes the outer layer of skin, improving skin texture and reducing pigmentation.

4.  Microneedling is essentially effective against all forms of hyperpigmentation, significantly reducing dark spots and lightening discoloration.

5. Cosmetic Procedures: Dermabrasion may be used in severe cases.

6. Sunscreen: Essential to prevent further darkening of the skin.

Before starting any treatment, it’s essential to come for your free consultation to determine the best approach based on your skin type and the cause of hyperpigmentation.

The cost of hyperpigmentation treatment will vary depending on the techniques used.
