Professional Hyperpigmentation Treatments and Products
As we age, evenly toned skin, free from wrinkles, lines and imperfections are hard to achieve and even minimal exposure to the elements and sun can cause hyperpigmentation areas and spots. These are shown as darker areas on your skin and can be anywhere on your body. They are difficult to cover with makeup and always tend to show through however much effort you have put in to cover them up.
Chronic exposure to the sun’s rays results in fine and coarse wrinkles, roughness, laxity, mottled pigmentation, actinic lentigines and keratoses, coarseness, sallowness, and telangiectasia and this is known as photodamage.
Melanin is present in all of our skin and is a chemical that gives our skin its pigmentation, however, when your skin produces higher than normal levels of melanin it causes darker and discoloured areas called hyperpigmentation. The melanocyte cells in our body produce melanin and there are certain things that cause the abnormal increase in melanin production and these include:
- Exposure to UV rays when you are not wearing any UV protection
- Skin damage from a cut, graze, spot or eczema
- Allergic reactions
- Certain medications
- Improper hair removal
- Hormone changes
- In rare cases there are genetic and DNA reasons why your body produces excess melanin
When your skin becomes damaged it can find it hard to successfully regenerate the skins original pigments and when this happens darker areas are generated over the damaged area, showing as hyperpigmentation.
We are all now much more aware of the damaging effects of the sun and most of us now take more precautions with good sunscreen protection. Years ago people didn’t wear sun cream even in very hot weather but now more and more of us wear a moisturiser with suncream in or suncream every day, which is really good.
Hyperpigmentation and photodamage is a visual condition rather than a physical one and doesn’t cause any physical discomfort, many people choose to leave it untreated as it doesn’t have any impact on them, however, some people are very conscious of the darker patches and want to do something about it.
Hyperpigmentation is a common skin problem which affects men and women and unfortunately, it normally worsens with age. There are things we can do to improve hyperpigmentation and photodamage and one of the most important ways is to protect your skin from the atmosphere and suns rays is by wearing a good sun cream or moisturiser with a high SPF and UV protection in every day. UVA rays are present all year round, even on a cloudy day, so the advice is to use a good sun cream every day.
