Are you struggling with these concerns?
Hyperpigmentation may present itself in may different forms. Understanding the types of hyperpigmentation you have is crucial in deciding your treatment path for the best outcome.
Melasma
Melasma is a common condition in Singapore. They have the appearance of brown irregular patches, commonly on the cheeks, but also on the temples, forehead and nose. They are affected by sun exposure, female hormones and genetics.
Hori's Nevus
These have the appearance of brown, grey or bluish spots that commonly appear on the cheeks, but sometimes on the temples, nose and forehead too. They usually start appearing during adulthood and are common among Asian women.
Macules
Macules are flat, discolored spots on the skin that are usually red, brown, or white and do not change in texture. They often appear after acne or other skin conditions as a sign of healing.
What is Hyperpigmentation?
Hyperpigmentation is a common skin condition where certain areas of the skin become darker than the surrounding skin due to an excess production of melanin, the pigment responsible for skin color.
Hyperpigmentation is a common issue in Singapore due to the sunny climate, and Asians are particularly prone to it due to their skin’s higher melanin production. Most pigmentation issues tend to worsen with sun exposure. Hormones also play a role, as some find that their hyperpigmentation problems get worse after starting on a course of oral contraceptive pills or after getting pregnant.
What is Our Hyperpigmentation Programme?
Accurately diagnosing the type of hyperpigmentation is crucial, as each form, like sunspots or melasma, requires specific treatments to ensure optimal results and minimise the risk of side effects.
The Hyperpigmentation Programme offers a comprehensive approach, combining various treatments that work together to address pigmentation from multiple angles. Treatment plans may require multiple sessions over a few weeks, or months, depending on the severity and type of pigmentation.
With a personalized plan, significant improvements in skin tone, reduced dark spots, and a more radiant complexion can be achieved.
