What Is Hyperpigmentation?

Hyperpigmentation occurs when certain areas of the skin become darker than the surrounding skin because of increased melanin production. Melanin is the pigment responsible for skin colour.

Pigmentation can appear as small dark spots, larger patches or uneven areas across the face. It can affect people with different skin types and tones, and its causes can vary significantly.

Common forms include sun spots, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation and melasma. Because different types of pigmentation can require different approaches, identifying the likely cause is an important first step.

What Causes Facial Hyperpigmentation?

Several factors can contribute to pigmentation on the face.

Sun Exposure

UV exposure is one of the most common contributors to pigmentation. Regular sun exposure can stimulate melanin production and make existing dark spots more noticeable.

Daily broad-spectrum sunscreen is therefore one of the most important parts of managing pigmentation. Professional treatments work best when combined with consistent sun protection.

Acne and Skin Inflammation

Dark marks can remain after pimples, blemishes or other forms of skin inflammation have healed. This is known as post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
