LIV Wellness Lounge
Improving your skin for a more even complexion.
Hyperpigmentation comes in many forms like melasma, sun damage, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. It can make your complexion uneven and make you feel more self-conscious of your skin.
Hyperpigmentation is also difficult to cover with makeup, and while practicing good skin care is very helpful, our professional hyperpigmentation treatments in LaSalle can have the biggest impact on your skin.
Causes of Hyperpigmentation
Hormonal Changes
Factors that cause hyperpigmentation depend on the type of discoloration.
Melasma is sometimes referred to as the “mask of pregnancy” since it’s often a side effect of hormonal changes during pregnancy. Other factors like sun exposure and certain skincare products may cause melasma.
Excess Sun Exposure
For sun damage, excess sun exposure causes your skin cells to produce more melanin, darkening the skin in certain areas as a way to protect itself. When that excess pigment doesn’t fade away, it creates sun spots/age spots.
Skin Trauma
Acne or other skin trauma can cause post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Darker skin tones can be more susceptible to this type of hyperpigmentation, as this skin type can take longer to heal and lighten dark spots.
