Hyperpigmentation
Restore Your Natural Glow with Advanced Dermatological CareHyperpigmentation refers to the development of dark patches or spots on the skin caused by an overproduction of melanin — the natural pigment that gives your skin its color. At Sanjay Rithik Hospital, we offer expert evaluation and personalized treatment plans to address hyperpigmentation safely and effectively, helping you achieve a more even, radiant complexion.
This skin concern can present itself in several forms, including melasma, sunspots, age spots, freckles, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation from acne or skin injuries. These darkened patches may appear anywhere on the body, but are most commonly seen on sun-exposed areas such as the face, arms, shoulders, and hands.
What Causes Hyperpigmentation?
Hyperpigmentation is primarily caused by excess melanin production. The melanocytes in your skin — cells responsible for producing melanin — can become overactive due to various triggers, including:Prolonged sun exposure
UV rays stimulate melanin production, leading to tanning and pigmentation.
Hormonal changes
Especially during pregnancy or due to conditions like PCOD.
Certain medications
Including antibiotics, anti-seizure drugs, birth control pills, and chemotherapy agents.
Post-inflammatory response
Dark spots that develop after healing from acne, rashes, or other skin injuries.
Genetic predisposition
Family history may increase your likelihood of developing pigmentation.
Endocrine disorders
Conditions such as Addison’s disease or thyroid imbalance.
Improper skincare
Overuse of harsh products or ineffective treatments may irritate the skin and worsen pigmentation.
Why You Should Treat Hyperpigmentation
While hyperpigmentation is typically not dangerous, it can affect self-confidence and skin health. If left untreated or managed improperly, these dark spots can become more prominent, especially with continued sun exposure. At Sanjay Rithik Hospital, we understand how sensitive this issue can be and offer compassionate care backed by clinical expertise.
Our Approach to Hyperpigmentation Treatment
We believe that no two skin types are similar. Our dermatologists begin by diagnosing the underlying cause and depth of pigmentation. Based on this assessment, we tailor a treatment plan using a combination of the following: ✅ Topical depigmenting agents include retinoids, kojic acid, azelaic acid, and hydroquinone. ✅ Chemical peels to exfoliate and lighten superficial pigmentation ✅ Laser therapy to target deeper pigment deposits ✅ Microneedling with serums stimulates cell turnover and reduces discolouration. ✅ Medical facials customized to treat uneven skin tone and improve skin texture We also stress the importance of sun protection, as UV rays can intensify pigmentation. Our team recommends the daily use of a broad-spectrum sunscreen, even on cloudy days, to prevent further melanin buildup.
Preventing Future Pigmentation
In addition to treatment, we provide detailed guidance on skin care routines, dietary support, and lifestyle changes to prevent hyperpigmentation from recurring. Avoiding excessive sun exposure, managing hormonal fluctuations, and choosing skin-friendly products are key components of our long-term skin health strategy.
