FAQ about hyperpigmentation

Is laser treatment effective for 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.

Can makeup cause hyperpigmentation?

Makeup typically does not cause hyperpigmentation, but the use of comedogenic or irritating products can exacerbate skin inflammation, which, in turn, can lead to post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

Is hyperpigmentation permanent?

This depends on the type of hyperpigmentation. Some hyperpigmentations may fade over time, but specific treatments, such as brightening creams or dermatological procedures, are often necessary to speed up the depigmentation process.

Is sun protection important in preventing hyperpigmentation?

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

Can hyperpigmentation be managed at home?

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 diminish hyperpigmentation concerning the deeper layers of the skin.

What are the main forms of hyperpigmentation?

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

Are exfoliating acids effective against hyperpigmentation?

Is hyperpigmentation a sign of health issues?

Typically, hyperpigmentation is harmless and does not indicate an underlying health issue. However, in some instances, hyperpigmentation may be linked to hormonal imbalances.

Do artificial UV rays (tanning booths) promote hyperpigmentation?
