What Is Hyperpigmentation & What Are Its Causes?

Melanin is a group of natural pigments that gives our skin, hair and eyes their colour. When your body produces excess melanin in the form of dark spots on the skin, you have hyperpigmentation. Commonly found on the skin of the face, arms and hands, hyperpigmentation is often visible in the form of:

Age spots
Liver spots
Freckles
Sun spots
Melasma
Any dark or brown spot

Hyperpigmentation has a variety of causes that we encounter on a daily basis. These causes include:

Sun exposure
Hormonal changes
Heredity
Acne
Failed skin treatments

In most cases, hyperpigmentation is a harmless skin condition. However, if you have moles or other possible signs of skin cancer, you should visit a dermatologist for a diagnosis.

Pigment FAQ’s:

What causes unwanted pigment?

Melanin gives us our skin color. Pigmented lesions including sunspots, age spots, and brown patches, are dark in color because the melanin is concentrated in one area of the skin. Most pigmented lesions come from sun exposure while some patients are born with them. Hormonal changes can also induce pigment changes in the skin.

What types of pigmented lesions can PicoSure remove?

Lasers remove a variety of unwanted pigment. Age spots, freckles, and brown patches can all be removed with PicoSure. During a free consultation, your practitioner will put together a treatment regime to help you achieve pigment-free skin fast.

How many treatment sessions will it take?

To improve the look of your skin and achieve a more youthful appearance by removing pigmented lesions will require only a few treatments. Darker, deeper and larger pigmented lesions may require additional treatments; however during the consultation, your practitioner will discuss treatment expectations with you.

What does the treatment feel like?

Most patients find the procedure tolerable and require no numbing cream or anesthesia. PicoSure delivers energy in ultra-short bursts, and patients often compare the laser pulse to a snap of a thin rubber band.
