PIGMENTATION POWER DUOS

Targeted solutions for Hyperpigmentation Concerns

Hyperpigmentation is the darkening of skin patches caused by an overproduction of melanin, the pigment responsible for skin color. This overproduction is primarily triggered by sun exposure, though genetics and certain medications also play a role.

While everyone inherits a unique number of melanocytes (the cells that produce melanin), UV rays are the biggest culprit behind hyperpigmentation. They cause free radical damage, triggering inflammation and stimulating melanocytes to produce more melanin.

Understanding the different types of hyperpigmentation is crucial for effective treatment and prevention.

Various Type Of Hyperpigmentation

Solar Lentigines (sunspots):
Solar lentigines, more commonly known as age spots or liver spots, are flat, pigmented spots that appear on the skin with age and sun exposure. They range in color from light tan to dark brown and are typically found on areas frequently exposed to the sun, such as the face, hands, arms, and shoulders.

Melasma:
Melasma is a common skin condition characterized by brown or grayish-brown patches, mainly on the face. Triggered by hormonal changes, sun exposure, and genetics, it involves overproduction of melanin, leading to skin darkening.

Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH):
PIH occurs as an aftermath of skin inflammation or injury. This occurs when an inflammatory event, like acne, eczema, a cut, or a burn, triggers an overproduction of melanin. This excess melanin deposits into the skin, leaving behind flat, darkened patches or spots that can range in color from pink to red to brown or black, depending on skin tone and depth of discoloration.

Common Topical Ingredients to treat hyperpigmentation

Retinoids
Hydroquinone (prescription only)
Vitamin C
Vitamin B3 (niacinamide)
Salicylic acid
Glycolic acid
