Hyperpigmentation
Hyperpigmentation covers all kinds of skin color changes. Darker freckles, dots or or more extensive spots are caused by sunlight. In women over 40 years of age, the appearance of hyperpigmentation is usually associated with hormonal changes.
A specific variety of hyperpigmentation are the so-called lentigo spots caused as a result of a natural aging process. They are promoted by the exposure of the skin to UV rays. Changes in skin colour may also be caused by inflammation and may arise as a result of medication and some herbs.
Removal of hyperpigmentation at home is not always safe, and rarely effective. Specialist creams for reduction of hyperpigmentation are available at pharmacies, including azelaic acid, vitamin A derivatives and fruit acids. They cause the reduction of melanin, a pigment naturally occurring in the skin; when there is too much if this pigmentation in the skin, this may lead to hyperpigmentation.
Aesthetic medicine offers solutions that bring a lasting effect in removing hyperpigmentation. Chemical peelings have an exfoliating effect, and in the long run - they regenreate the skin. Depending on the needs, peeling works on the top or deeper layers of the skin. In the case of laser removal of hiperpigmentation, the effects may be visible already after the first session. The laser beam acts on the cells in which there is too much pigment, eliminating them, thus evening out the skin tone.
