HYPERPIGMENTATION

HYPERPIGMENTATION TREATMENT LEEDS

Hyperpigmentation is a common skin condition that occurs when patches of skin become darker than the surrounding skin. This can happen due to an overproduction of melanin, the pigment that gives skin its colour. Hyperpigmentation can affect people of all skin types and ages and can be caused by a variety of factors.

TYPES OF HYPERPIGMENTATION

There are several types of hyperpigmentation, including:

Melasma: This type of hyperpigmentation is characterised by dark, irregular patches on the face, neck, and forearms. It is most common in women and is often triggered by hormonal changes.

Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH): This type of hyperpigmentation occurs after an injury or inflammation to the skin, such as acne or eczema.

Sunspots or age spots: These are flat, brownish spots that typically appear on areas of the skin that are exposed to the sun, such as the face, hands, and arms.

Freckles: These are small brown spots that are usually found on the face and other sun-exposed areas of the body.

CAUSES OF 
HYPERPIGMENTATION

Hyperpigmentation can be caused by a variety of factors, including:
  • Sun exposure: UV rays from the sun can trigger the production of melanin, leading to hyperpigmentation.
  • Hormonal changes: Pregnancy, menopause, and birth control pills can all trigger hyperpigmentation.
  • Inflammation or injury to the skin: Acne, eczema, and other skin conditions can lead to PIH.
  • Genetics: Some people are more prone to hyperpigmentation due to their genes.

TREATMENTS

At our clinic in Leeds, we offer a range of treatments for hyperpigmentation, including Obagi peels and bespoke skincare routines. Obagi peels are a type of chemical peel that use a combination of ingredients to exfoliate the skin and promote the growth of new, healthy skin cells. They can be customised to your specific skin type and needs, and can be used to treat a variety of skin concerns, including hyperpigmentation.

In addition to Obagi peels, we also offer bespoke skincare regimens that are tailored to your individual needs. This may include a combination of products that help to brighten and even out your skin tone, such as vitamin C serums, retinoids, and hydroquinone.

After a consultation with one of our skincare experts, we will be able to recommend the best treatment plan for your specific needs and goals. We may also recommend lifestyle changes, such as using sunscreen regularly and avoiding excessive sun exposure, to help prevent future hyperpigmentation.
