Hyperpigmentation Solutions That Actually Work
Hyperpigmentation is one of the most common skin concerns affecting people across Ireland. Whether it’s dark spots from sun exposure, post-acne marks, or hormonal pigmentation, uneven skin tone can impact confidence and skin clarity. The good news? With the right professional skincare, like targeted solutions from Image Skincare Ireland hyperpigmentation can be visibly reduced and prevented.
What Is Hyperpigmentation?
Hyperpigmentation occurs when the skin produces excess melanin, leading to dark patches or uneven tone. It commonly appears on the face, neck, and hands—areas most exposed to UV rays.
Common Types of Hyperpigmentation
Sunspots (Solar Lentigines)
Caused by UV exposure, these appear as small dark patches, especially on the face and hands.
Melasma
Triggered by hormonal changes, melasma often appears symmetrically on the cheeks, forehead, and upper lip.
Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH)
Develops after acne, irritation, or injury and is particularly common in deeper skin tones.
What Causes Hyperpigmentation?
- UV Exposure: the leading cause of pigmentation
- Hormonal Changes: pregnancy, contraceptives, imbalances
- Inflammation: acne, skin trauma
- Ageing: slower skin cell turnover
- Incorrect Skincare: harsh products or picking the skin
