Hyperpigmentation Let's Get Rid Of It As the summer begins slipping away have you noticed that with its sunny memories the sun’s damaging rays has left its footprint. This is known as hyperpigmentation. Hyperpigmentation – has many names. Sometimes we call them, freckles, sun spots, age spots, liver spots, acne scars or melasma. As many names as hyperpigmentation has, it also has many causes, including environmental factors, sun exposure, ultraviolent rays, medications and hormonal changes. Hyper meaning excessive or above normal combined with pigmentation which is coloring = discoloration of the skin. Your skin gets its color from a pigment called melanin. Melanin’s are made of special cells in the skin and when these cells become damaged or unhealthy it affects the melanin production. If your body makes too much melanin, this results in hyper-pigmentation which appears as a dark mark on the surface of the skin.
