Uneven skin tone, dark spots, or patchy discoloration? You could be dealing with hyperpigmentation—a common skin condition that affects people of all ages and skin types.
At MAVIE Dermatology & Aesthetics, Sainikpuri’s trusted skin clinic, we provide science-backed treatments to reduce pigmentation, restore skin clarity, and boost your confidence—safely and effectively.
What Is Hyperpigmentation?
Hyperpigmentation occurs when your skin produces excess melanin, leading to dark patches or spots. These areas may appear:
- Brown, black, gray, or red
- Irregular in shape
- More visible with sun exposure
- Common on the face, neck, hands, and arms
Types of Hyperpigmentation
There are different types of pigmentation concerns:
- Melasma – Hormonal pigmentation, often seen in women during pregnancy or with oral contraceptives
- Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) – Follows acne, injury, or skin inflammation
- Sunspots / Age spots – Caused by prolonged sun exposure
- Freckles – Genetic or sun-induced small brown spots
- Pigmented acne marks – Left behind after breakouts
Each type requires a tailored approach for effective fading and prevention.
Common Triggers
- Excessive sun exposure
- Hormonal changes (e.g., pregnancy, PCOS, thyroid)
- Skin injuries or inflammation
- Certain medications
- Genetics
- Harsh skincare or chemical use
- Heat and environmental stressors
When Should You Seek Treatment?
Hyperpigmentation often worsens with time if left untreated. Consider visiting a dermatologist if:
- You notice persistent or spreading dark patches
- Spots affect your confidence or appearance
- Home remedies or over-the-counter creams aren’t working
- You’re unsure about the cause or type of pigmentation
