Hyperpigmentation

Introduction

Hyperpigmentation occurs when patches of skin darken in color. With the help of dermatologists, Dr. Faryal Siddiqui, Dr. Christopher Barnard, and Dr. Solomiya Grushchak, La Jolla Cosmetic Laser Clinic is proud to offer treatments for hyperpigmentation to men and women in San Diego, Encinitas, La Mesa, El Cajon, and surrounding areas of California.

What is Hyperpigmentation?

Hyperpigmentation is very common and isn’t something our patients should be very concerned about. Hyperpigmentation is the darkening of patches of skin without any lesion being raised or causing unwanted sensations. Instead, hyperpigmentation may look like sunspots, freckles, or small areas of red skin or white skin. While hyperpigmentation does not pose any harm, patients often seek cosmetic treatment for their areas of pigmented skin.

What Causes Hyperpigmentation?

Darkened areas of skin and Hyperpigmentation can be caused by a variety of factors, including:

Excess sun exposure or sun damage
Hormonal changes during pregnancy
Trauma to the skin like a burn injury
Genetic factors

If you’re unsure what the root cause of your hyperpigmentation is, we encourage you to come in and see our dermatologist for your private consultation.

How Do I Know If I Have Hyperpigmentation?

Hyperpigmentation can appear in a few different forms, including:

Melasma: Also called “the mask of pregnancy,” melasma appears as small patches of brown or gray skin on the cheeks and nose.
Similar in appearance to freckles, sunspots appear as brown patches of skin caused by excess sun exposure without protection like SPF.
Post-inflammatory pigmentation. This darkening of the skin occurs following an injury like a burn or severe inflammation.

If you believe you have hyperpigmentation and are interested in seeking treatment, we encourage you to come in for a private consultation with our dermatologist and the expert medical team at La Jolla Cosmetic Laser Clinic. We’ll be happy to sit down with you, listen to your concerns, and develop a personalized treatment plan to help you achieve the beautiful, even skin you can be proud of.

“I could not have had a better first impression of La Jolla Cosmetic Laser Clinic. I spoke with three practitioners at my appointment, who were all extremely friendly and professional. I never felt pressured to purchase any product/service. In fact, the doctor suggested I hold off on a service I was interested in to see if it was even necessary. I am genuinely looking forward to my next appointment”

“This was my first time here and my first time getting Botox and let me tell you Dr. Mani and her team is amazing. Coming into it I was extremely nervous bc I’ve never gotten any non surgical procedures done before so I didn’t know what to expect. But when Dr Mani and her team came in I got extremely calm and ready and let me tell you she is amazing and super quick! Didn’t feel a pinch!”
