Local hyperpigmetation
- DermaMedEst, Praha
Hyperpigmentation is not a disease, but a label for a skin condition that is darker. Pigmentation is among the frequent aesthetically inappropriate manifestations that most often occur on the face, but can be anywhere on the body. Increased pigmentation is usually not harmful. They can arise on the basis of hormonal changes, the use of inappropriate products, but also as a result of an infectious or other skin disease. The so-called melasma arises on the basis of hormonal changes, e.g. during pregnancy, breastfeeding or menopause, of course it can arise at any age. The communication describes the case of a client with melasma and her subsequent treatment.
Keywords: hyperpigmentation, melasma, hormonal changes, lentigo solrais, vitamin C, niacinamid, chemical peeling, laser.
