Hyperpigmentation And Means Of Treating Them

By George Mitchell


Skins are prone to many damages that is caused by lots of factors. One of which is hyperpigmentation or the darkening of some areas and parts of skin because of too much melanin. Melanin basically is the pigmentation that gives color to human eyes, hair and skin. Apparently, people that are dark skinned has more melanin than those who have light tone skins. To lighten this damages there are treatments that are made popular and also hyperpigmentation correction cream are invented to conceal and heal the most damaged areas.

Melanin is found on the outer most part of skins and does serve as skin protectant from the UV rays. However, when one is exposed to too much sunlight, in order to further protect the body, melanocytes are triggered to produce melanin. This is what causes the discoloration and uneven skintone.

Apart from tan areas that are not even, it may also cause other long term damages on the longer run. This could start with just little patches that seems harmless. But, when these are not given enough attention it could lead to bigger sun spots and many freckles.

Sun is not just the only factor that causes such inconvenience to skin areas but even acne and burns may lead to hyperpigmentation as time pass by. Hormonal fluctuation has the same side effects which is causing dark spots. Though, this one could be pretty fatal to skin because it is often accompanied with melasma, a severe gray and brown patches on face.

Though there are several ways to correct these problems, some women would conceal it with makeup and other products. But, there are treatments that actually could reduce them and make the skin look naturally even again. There are handful of them and they are broken down into classifications that is equated to its effectiveness.

One method is known as tropical suppressants. This is means of treating the ark spots through a light therapy or probably lasers. This usually uses Kojic acid to control melanocytes from letting melanin produce way more colors.

Another is chemical peels, this stimulates creation of newer skin cells that are healthier. The process would include stripping of outer layers removing the dead cells of skins. There is also is Microdermabrasion that works somewhat the same with the peels. This exfoliates the outer parts with a subtle spray of crystals.

Intense pulsed light therapy on the other hand is treatment that uses a wavelength of light to fix the discoloration. It usually takes up to six treatments before effectively mending the damage. This is also effective for skin redness and rosacea. It does also remove all the excess melanin after the six sessions are successfully completed.

The last one is called laser resurfacing which still use light but through a laser beam. It vaporizes top parts till it penetrates on internal layers fixing the problem there. It would also help when person makes it a form of habit to use sunscreens when going out.
