Are you worried about uneven skin pigmentation? You're not alone. Many of our patients come to us seeking treatment for this common concern. Uneven pigmentation can greatly impact how you feel about your skin and appearance. At MedAndSpa, we understand this and are here to help.
Over time, brown spots can appear anywhere on the body, especially in areas that are frequently exposed to the sun like the face, chest, and arms. These spots occur when there is an overproduction of melanin, the substance that gives color to the skin. Commonly known as hyperpigmentation, melasma, sun freckles, age spots, liver spots, or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), these uneven skin tones can take many forms.
Many things can lead to hyperpigmentation
- Genetics: Freckles, age spots, or other skin discolorations may be inherited in your family, making it hard to avoid.
- Hormone changes: During puberty or pregnancy, fluctuations in hormones can trigger the appearance of dark spots on the skin.
- Injury to skin: Acne, cuts, or burns can cause hyperpigmentation and leave behind lasting marks.
- Melasma: An often misunderstood skin condition that causes blotchy patches of darkening on the face.
- Medications & sun damage: Birth control pills and certain medications can make you more sensitive to UV rays from the sun and lead to the darkening of your skin. Solar lentigines are age spots caused by prolonged sun exposure.
- Vitamin deficiencies: A lack of essential vitamins like B12 and folic acid can cause hyperpigmentation.
- Thyroid disorders: When thyroid hormones become imbalanced it can also lead to hyperpigmentation in various parts of your body.
