Hyperpigmentation describes areas of the skin that have become darker than the surrounding skin. It occurs when the skin produces excess melanin. Types of hyperpigmentation include ages spots (also called liver spots), post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, and melasma. Our non-surgical services address concerns associated with pigmentation and hyperpigmentation.
Age spots are also called liver spots or solar lentigines. They are spots that look brown, tan, or black and appear on the skin with sun-exposure. They are commonly on the face and other areas of the body that have been exposed to the sun. Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation refers to darkened areas of the skin that appear anywhere on the body after an inflammatory skin condition such as acne or eczema. Melasma is also called chloasma or the ‘mask of pregnancy’. Melasma looks like large patches of darkened skin and often appears on the forehead, face and stomach. It typically affects women who are pregnant or taking birth control pills, and those with medium to darker skin tones.
