Hyperpigmentation

Hyperpigmentation occurs when the skin produces or distributes excess melanin in specific areas. This condition may be triggered by various factors such as sun exposure, inflammation, acne, hormonal changes, heat, medication, skin irritation, or previous treatments. 

In some patients, multiple factors may coexist. Not all hyperpigmentation sits at the same level within the skin; some types are more superficial, while others may be deeper or mixed in nature. This variation influences the treatment approach and the rate at which improvement is seen. 

Where relevant, A6 skin analysis can assist in visualising these superficial and deeper pigment patterns alongside your clinical assessment and photographs. Utilising medical-grade skincare tailored to your skin concerns allows us to develop a more targeted treatment and maintenance plan.
