Understanding & Treating Hyperpigmentation & Sun Spots

Excess Melanin Production & Uneven Skin Tone

Pigmentation issues arise when melanin—the pigment responsible for skin color—becomes unevenly distributed. This can lead to dark spots, patches, or discoloration on the skin.

Sun Damage & Environmental Stressors

One of the most common causes of pigmentation is long-term sun exposure. Ultraviolet (UV) rays penetrate deep into the skin, stimulating excess melanin production in an attempt to protect the skin from further damage. This can result in sunspots, freckles, and an overall uneven complexion.

Post-Inflammatory Pigmentation & Hormonal Changes

After acne, injuries, or skin inflammation, the affected area may darken and leave behind pigmentation known as post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH).

Pigmentation and dark spots are caused by irregular melanin production, leading to patchy, uneven skin tone and stubborn discoloration. Whether triggered by sun exposure, inflammation, aging, or hormonal imbalances, pigmentation concerns can persist if left untreated.

Dark spots and pigmentation can appear on any skin type and affect areas such as the face, neck, hands, and shoulders, where sun exposure is most frequent. With the right treatments, these concerns can be significantly reduced, revealing a brighter, clearer complexion.

At Image Clinic, we specialize in advanced skin brightening and pigmentation removal treatments, ensuring customized solutions for long-lasting skin clarity.

What is Hyperpigmentation & Sun Spots?

hyperpigmentation refers to visible changes in skin color due to excess melanin production. These can range from minor sunspots to widespread patches of discoloration.

Common types of hyperpigmentation include:

- Sunspots (Solar Lentigines) – Caused by chronic sun exposure, appearing as flat brown spots on sun-exposed areas.

- Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH) – Darkened areas left behind after acne, skin irritation, or injury.

- Freckles & Age Spots – Small brown or tan spots that develop due to genetic predisposition and sun exposure.

- Melasma – Larger hormonal pigmentation patches, often affecting the forehead, cheeks, and upper lip.

At Image Clinic, we use science-backed treatments to target melanin deposits and restore a bright, even skin tone.
