Hyperpigmentation is a condition where patches of skin become darker in colour than the surrounding skin. This darkening occurs when an excess of melanin, the brown pigment that produces normal skin colour, forms deposits in the skin. Hyperpigmentation can affect skin colour. The changes in skin colour can result from outside causes such as prolonged exposure to sunlight, marks and dark spot left by acne may leave dark spots or injuries caused to the skin, including some surgeries, hormonal changes, medication. So, what is the effective way to reduce pigmentation? Laser therapy! Yes! We have seen significant results with laser therapy. Laser therapy is a quick, gentle, and non-invasive treatment. Specially designed laser light is absorbed only by the cells containing excessive pigmentation. It does not affect the surrounding tissues or remove the normal skin colour. Immediate darkening is noticed after treatment. For 7-10 days the area will look like a dark mark which will eventually shed off.
