Hyperpigmentation, which means visibly darker spots on the skin, occurs as a result of improper functioning of melanocytes, i.e. cells responsible for production of melanin (pigment) in our skin. Its occurrence may result from different reasons – hormonal reasons, medication-induced reasons or… too long exposure to the sun.

If you are also affected by this problem, it’s high time you started the treatment preventing the hyperpigmentation and evening up the tone of your skin.

What is hyperpigmentation and how to identify it

Hyperpigmentation occurs at various age, usually on the places exposed to the sun, for example: on the face, neckline, shoulders and calves. The forehead is the place where the spots occur the most often. It happens due to the fact that sunlight – and more accurately ultraviolet radiation – plays an important role in occurrence of hyperpigmentation. Also hormonal treatments, taking some medicaments and sometimes even use of cosmetics or perfumes containing ingredients that are conducive to occurrence of brownish sports contribute to its occurrence. Nevertheless, it occurs the most often on the skin of the persons who expose their skin excessively to sunlight without ensuring proper protection.

The problem of hyperpigmentation is extremely complex and relates to a lot of women. It is the brown spots that we usually observe on our skin. They are the most often located on the face: on the forehead and above the upper lip. It is estimated that over 30% of women who reached 30 years of age as well as almost 90% of women at the age of 50+ suffer from it. The problem of hyperpigmentation intensifies as we get older, which is connected with the hormonal changes taking place in our body.
