What is Hyperpigmentation?

Hyperpigmentation is a condition in which individuals have certain areas of their skin that are darkened due to excess melanin production. These areas can be gray, black, red, brown, and even purple and appear in various sections like the face, neck, hands, and arms. Generally, hyperpigmentation is not harmful; it can be a stressful condition. Skin color is popularly determined by a pigment called melanin, which is distributed unequally due to skin damage, as well as triggered by numerous internal and external factors. Hyperpigmentation can be superficial and deep and should be addressed accordingly.

Causes of Hyperpigmentation

Hyperpigmentation can be caused by several different factors. Here are a few of them: 

CauseExplanation
Sun ExposureUV rays prompt the activities of more melanin in melanocytes as a form of protection. This results in sunspots or age spots with time.
MedicationsSome of the antimalarials, chemotherapeutic medicines, and antibiotics have pigmentation as a side effect.
Infrared Light and ExposurePigment production can also be stimulated by regular exposure to heat devices or rooms.
Causative Medical ConditionsPigmentation diseases may be caused by diseases such as Addison’s or thyroid disorders.
Genetic PredispositionGenetic predisposition is those who are biologically inclined to develop pigmentation because of their DNA and melanin spacing.
Post-Inflammatory HyperpigmentationThese are the dark spots left behind after bruises, cuts, acne, burns, or eczema, due to skin inflammation.
Hormonal ChangesMelasma can be caused by changes brought about by menopause, birth control, or pregnancy.

Diagnosis of Hyperpigmentation

Our dermatologists thoroughly examine their patients to diagnose the cause and type of hyperpigmentation:

  • Medical history review and matters of skin concerns
  • Natural/UV light using Wood lamp physical exam
  • Hormone and vitamin blood tests
  • Skin biopsy of suspect or rare cases

This comprehensive examination allows us to know the most appropriate methods of treatment in accordance with your skin.

Types of Hyperpigmentation

TypeDescription
MelasmaMelasma is present with brown or grayish blotches, mostly symmetrical, and tends to appear on the cheeks, forehead, bridge of the nose, or upper lip. It is usually initiated by hormonal changes, sunburns, or pregnancy.
FrecklesTiny flat spots of tan or light brown usually occur on the sun-exposed parts. They also intensify under the influence of UV and decrease during the winter.
Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH)It is seen when there has been inflammation of the skin, like acne or eczema, and even injuries. It takes flat and discolored stains that can last months or years.
Age Spots (Lentigines)Brown or black patches, which are flat, are located in mostly sun-exposed areas. Common in elderly people, produced by the accumulation of UV damage.
Acanthosis NigricansIt may be identified as Acanthosis Nigricans, which is a thickening, darkening, and velvety type of skin that develops mainly in the neck, armpits, or groin region. This is linked with either insulin resistance or metabolic syndrome.
Periorbital HyperpigmentationSuperior orbital dark circles beneath the eyes, usually as a result of fatigue, seasonal allergies, or genetic factors.

7 Treatments of Hyperpigmentation At erc orlando

Depending upon the type of hyperpigmentation you have, before consultation with a dermatologist, you can choose to go for any of these treatments: 

1. Chemical Peels 

Cosmetic peels use a chemical solution (such as salicylic acid or glycolic) to get the top skin surface off. The chemical peels lessen the appearance of the damaged skin by unveiling the new skin beneath. Chemical peels are a perfect solution to typical hyperpigmentation. It has Minimal downtime and may need multiple sessions.

2. Laser Skin Resurfacing 

This is a focused beam of light (ablative or non-ablative), which targets pigmented areas, and causes collagen stimulation. Non-ablative lasers do not harm the skin, whereas ablative lasers treat skin by removing layers. It is a perfect choice for people with deep pigmentation, giving long-term improvement. However, there is a reasonable amount of downtime and aftercare required for this. Laser Skin Resurfacing is consider one of the most effective treatment for hypergimentation .

3. Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion is a process of exfoliation of the skin surface with the use of a diamond-tipped instrument that produces very low tissue disruption. It thins out dead skin molecules and enhances skin lightening. It works better if you have slight skin discoloration.

This treatment requires no recovery time and requires more than one appointment.

4. Dermabrasion 

Dermabrasion is a deeper procedure of exfoliation involving the eradication of the external skin layers by a rotating device. It is most suited to treating pigmentation and scarring. It produces quicker effects as compared to microdermabrasion but has more downtime and requires effort in post-care.

5. BBL Hero (BroadBand Light Therapy)

It is a kind of light therapy that relies on specific wavelengths to lighten skin pigmentation, redness, and acne. It also activates collagen and makes skin regenerate. This is an ideal option if you want to combat several skin issues at the same time.

6. Intense Pulsed Light (IPL)

This involves emitting pulses of broad-spectrum light to disintegrate a collection of melanin. Sun spots and freckles are best treated by this. With minimal downtime and gradual results, it is not the best option for greater pigmentation.

7. Microneedling with PRP

Microneedling with PRP uses very small needles to cause microscopic trauma so that the skin reacts. It accelerates the healing process and also alleviates pigmentation. It enhances collagen stimulation, corrects the texture and tone of the skin, and reduces scars and pigmentations.

Hyperpigmentation Prevention

Control of hyperpigmentation is a combination of precautions, care, and lifestyle. That is especially significant in people who are susceptible to melasma or PIH. Here are some of the preventative measures you can use to prevent hyperpigmentation: 

 

  • Regular Use of Sunscreen: Use a sunblock, preferably SPF 30,+ daily and reapply after every 2 to 3 hours.
  • Food and Water: Consume antioxidant foods such as spinach berries, and citrus fruits, and drink a lot of water.
  • Hormonal Balance: Monitor the changes in pigmentation in case of hormonal change and birth control.
  • Avoid Peaking Sun Hours: It is best to avoid going out between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., either indoors or in shady areas.
  • Gentle Skincare: Never use heavy scrubs and skin products that can irritate the skin.
  • Avoid touching your skin: Picking and scratching acne or lesions increases the flow of PIH.
