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.

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.

Minimising sun exposure and applying sun protection indeed helps to prevent hyperpigmentation and the emergence of brown spots.

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. However, more advanced treatments will be necessary to reduce hyperpigmentation concerning the deeper layers of the skin.

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

Indeed, darker skin types have more active melanocytes, which makes them more susceptible to pigmentation spots following irritation or UV exposure.

Yes, AHA, BHA, and PHA speed up cell renewal and reduce the appearance of pigmentation spots.

Generally, hyperpigmentation is harmless and does not indicate an underlying health issue. However, in some instances, hyperpigmentation may be associated with hormonal imbalances.

Yes, UV rays significantly stimulate melanocytes, thereby increasing the risk of pigmentation spots.
