Hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone are among the most common dermatological concerns.

Causes of Hyperpigmentation

• Sun Exposure and UV Damage: Excessive sunlight triggers melanin production, causing tanning or dark spots.
• Hormonal Changes: Conditions like melasma during pregnancy or hormonal therapy can result in uneven tone.
• Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH): Dark marks that remain after acne, burns, or injuries.
• Medications or Underlying Conditions: Some drugs and systemic diseases can lead to pigmentation changes.

Treatment Options

1. Topical Treatments

• Dermatologist-prescribed creams containing Vitamin C, hydroquinone, or retinoids can lighten pigmented areas.

2. Chemical Peels

• Safe and effective procedures that exfoliate and remove superficial layers of pigmented skin.

3. Laser Therapy

• Advanced laser treatments target deeper pigmentation for a smoother, more even complexion.

4. Sun Protection

• Regular use of SPF 30+ sunscreen helps prevent worsening pigmentation and protects treatment results.

5. Lifestyle Adjustments

• A balanced diet, adequate hydration, and stress management support overall skin health.
