HYPERPIGMENTATION TREATMENT IN CHESHIRE
Hyperpigmentation occurs when areas of your skin become darker than the surrounding skin. This happens due to an excess of melanin, the pigment responsible for your skin’s colour. It affects people of all skin types and ages, with several factors contributing to its development.
The good news is that your trusted skin clinic in Cheshire, Aesthetica Medical, offers many treatment options for you.

HYPERPIGMENTATION TYPES
Freckles
Small brown spots that typically appear on your face and other areas exposed to the sun.
Sunspots or age spots
Flat, brownish spots that develop on sun-exposed skin, such as your face, hands, and arms.
Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation
This occurs after skin inflammation or injury, such as acne or eczema, leaving dark patches.
Melasma
Dark, uneven patches often found on your face, neck, or forearms. It commonly affects women and is usually triggered by hormonal changes.
HYPERPIGMENTATION CAUSES
Hyperpigmentation can result from various factors, including:
Genetics
Your genes may make you more prone to developing hyperpigmentation.
Sun exposure
UV rays increase melanin production, leading to darkened patches on your skin.
Hormonal changes
Pregnancy, menopause, and birth control pills can trigger hyperpigmentation, particularly melasma.
Inflammation or injury to the skin
Conditions like acne or eczema can cause post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH).
HYPERPIGMENTATION TREATMENTS
At our Cheshire clinic, we provide treatment options for hyperpigmentation, including Obagi peels and personalised skincare plans. Obagi peels are chemical peels that exfoliate your skin and encourage the growth of healthy skin cells. They can be customised to suit your skin type and concerns, including hyperpigmentation.
We also offer tailored skincare regimens designed specifically for your version of hyperpigmentation. These may include products like vitamin C serums, retinoids, and hydroquinone to help brighten and even out your skin tone.
After a consultation with one of our experts, we will recommend the best treatment plan based on your needs and goals. Lifestyle advice, such as using sunscreen and avoiding excessive sun exposure, may also be provided to prevent future hyperpigmentation.
HYPERPIGMENTATION SYMPTOMS
The main symptom of hyperpigmentation is the appearance of dark patches on the skin. These patches may be irregular in shape and can vary in size and colour. They may also be accompanied by other symptoms, such as itching or dryness.
PREVENTING HYPERPIGMENTATION
Prevention plays a vital role in maintaining clear, even-toned skin. Our team offers tailored advice to help you protect your results and reduce the risk of new pigmentation developing. Preventive steps include:
- Applying a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher every day, even during winter.
- Avoid prolonged or unprotected sun exposure between 10 am and 3 pm.
- Incorporating antioxidants such as vitamin C into your skincare routine can help combat UV-induced damage.
- Using gentle exfoliants to remove dead skin cells and promote healthy cell turnover.
- Managing skin conditions like acne early to prevent post-inflammatory pigmentation.
Following these steps helps preserve your complexion and ensures the long-term benefits of your treatment.
