Causes, Types & Effective Treatment Options
Hyperpigmentation is one of the most common skin concerns, affecting people of all ages and skin tones. It appears as dark patches, sun spots, melasma, or uneven skin tone, caused by excess melanin production. At Transformations Wellness Spa, we offer personalized pigmentation treatment plans, including chemical peels, to help brighten the complexion, fade discoloration, and restore a more even, radiant skin tone.
Whether your pigmentation is caused by sun damage, acne, hormones, or inflammation, our clinically guided treatments can help you achieve smoother, clearer, healthier-looking skin.
What Is Hyperpigmentation?
Hyperpigmentation occurs when the skin produces excess melanin, the pigment that gives skin its color. While it is not harmful, it can create cosmetic concerns such as blotchy tone, dark areas, or persistent marks after breakouts.
Common triggers include:
- Sun exposure
- Post-inflammatory response (acne marks)
- Hormonal fluctuations (melasma)
- Aging
- Skin injuries
- Heat exposure
- Genetics
Understanding the root cause allows us to create a targeted treatment plan that safely corrects discoloration.
