Hyperpigmentation

Hyperpigmentation refers to patches of skin that appear darker than the surrounding areas. This condition occurs when there is an excess production of melanin, the pigment responsible for skin color. It can be caused by various factors such as sun exposure, hormonal changes (like pregnancy or birth control pills), inflammation, or skin injuries. Common types of hyperpigmentation include age spots, melasma, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH). Here at Skin Boss our treatments for hyperpigmentation often include chemical peels and laser treatments.
