FAQ about hyperpigmentation

Is laser treatment effective for addressing hyperpigmentation?

Yes, laser treatment can be effective in addressing hyperpigmentation by targeting and eliminating cells with an excess of melanin, but its effectiveness depends on the type of hyperpigmentation and skin typology.

Makeup typically does not cause hyperpigmentation, but the use of comedogenic or irritating products can exacerbate skin inflammations, which, in turn, can lead to post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

Is hyperpigmentation permanent?

This depends on the type of hyperpigmentation. Some hyperpigmentations may fade over time, but specific treatments, such as pigment-reducing creams or dermatological procedures, are often required to speed up the depigmentation process.

Can hyperpigmentation be managed at home?

This depends on the hyperpigmentation. Mild hyperpigmentation affecting only the epidermis can be managed at home with products containing lightening ingredients, such as vitamin C.

What are the main forms of hyperpigmentation?

The primary forms of hyperpigmentation are melasma, age spots (solar lentigines), and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
