Melasma and hyperpigmentation are common skin concerns characterized by dark patches or spots on the skin. These conditions often appear on areas exposed to the sun, such as the face, neck, and hands, and can impact self-confidence. At Charmed Medispa in Delaware, we specialize in addressing melasma and hyperpigmentation with advanced treatments and medical-grade skincare. “Melasma and excessive pigmentation are one of the most common skin concerns that we treat and I feel very confident in the approach to management and successful improvement,” states Shae Ryan, licensed medical aesthetician at Charmed.
What Causes Melasma and Hyperpigmentation?
Both melasma and hyperpigmentation are caused by an overproduction of melanin, the pigment responsible for skin color. Common triggers include:
- Sun exposure: UV rays stimulate melanin production, worsening both melasma and hyperpigmentation.
- Hormonal changes: Pregnancy, birth control pills, and hormone replacement therapy can trigger melasma, often referred to as the “mask of pregnancy.”
- Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH): Dark spots that develop after skin injuries, acne, or inflammation.
- Genetics: A family history of melasma or hyperpigmentation increases the likelihood of developing these conditions.
- Skin type: Medium to darker skin tones are more prone to melasma and hyperpigmentation.
