Understanding Hyperpigmentation

Hyperpigmentation can manifest as dark patches or spots on areas like the face, hands, or other sun-exposed parts of the body. There are several types, including:

  • Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH): Dark spots left after skin trauma like acne or eczema.
  • Melasma: Often triggered by hormonal changes or pregnancy.
  • Sunspots: Caused by prolonged exposure to UV rays.

Knowing the type of hyperpigmentation you’re dealing with helps our doctors create the most effective treatment plan

What Is Hyperpigmentation?

Hyperpigmentation is a common skin concern that affects people of all skin types. At DrSkinHair, we offer effective, non-invasive treatments tailored to reduce dark spots and restore your natural glow. Our team of experienced dermatology experts in Penang is here to help you achieve healthy, even-toned skin using proven methods and personalized care

Causes

Understanding the root cause of hyperpigmentation is key to effective treatment. Common causes include:

  • Sun Exposure: UV rays stimulate melanin production, causing uneven pigmentation.
  • Hormonal Imbalances: Fluctuations during pregnancy or due to birth control pills.
  • Skin Injuries: Acne scars, cuts, or burns can leave behind dark marks.
  • Certain Medications: Some drugs, like chemotherapy or antibiotics, may trigger pigmentation issues.

If you’re experiencing hyperpigmentation, a consultation with DrSkinHair can identify the cause and guide your treatment

Symptoms

Hyperpigmentation typically appears as:

  • Darkened patches of skin.
  • Spots that vary in size and shape.
  • Areas of uneven skin tone.

While not harmful, these spots can impact your confidence and overall skin appearance. If you’re noticing persistent or worsening pigmentation, professional care can help

Aftercare

To maintain and enhance the results of your treatment, follow these aftercare tips:

  • Apply Sunscreen Daily: Protect your skin with broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher.
  • Moisturize Regularly: Keep your skin hydrated to support healing.
  • Avoid Picking at Spots: This can worsen pigmentation or lead to scarring.
  • Use Recommended Skincare: Stick to the products prescribed by your doctor.

Regular follow-ups with DrSkinHair ensure your skin continues to improve over time
