Press Release Summary: How to remove hyperpigmentation?
Before asking How to remove hyperpigmentation, we need to understand the reason of
hyperpigmentation.

Freckles, medically called ephelides, develop in fair-skinned individuals as a
result of sun exposure. This is the skin's protective measure against the harmful
effects of ultraviolet light.

Identify the areas involved, the sequence of pigmentation and the extent of
involvement. If you can identify a source, such as over sun exposure or ingestion
of a medication, do your best to decrease or eliminate that source. In addition, a
safer and much more affordable alternative like skin hyperpigmentation cream.


Press Release Body: Before asking How to remove hyperpigmentation, we need to
understand the reason of hyperpigmentation. Skin color is influenced by a person's
genetic heritage as well as environmental factors. It is determined by the amount
of pigment or melanin that is produced in the skin. The cells manufacturing this
pigment are called melanocytes. These cells are found throughout the upper layers
of the skin. Natural pigment is nature's way of protecting the skin from
ultraviolet light. A suntan is actually sun damage and does not provide sun
protection.
Uneven pigmentation of the skin may be a natural occurrence or related to
ultraviolet light, infection, hormones, drugs, acne or topical chemicals applied to
the skin. There are also skin diseases and genetic abnormalities that can cause
hyperpigmentation. Common causes of hyperpigmentation include sunspots, freckles,
"acne spots" and melasma (pregnancy mask).
Melasma is a common condition seen in women, related to hormones (estrogen) and sun
exposure. This condition is frequently exacerbated during pregnancy, at menopause,
and with the use of oral contraceptives. The skin darkens in patches of tan to
brown, primarily on the sun-exposed areas such as the face, neck and arms. Most sun
exposure throughout the day is brief but cumulative. Consequently, brief exposures
without sunscreen can cause dramatic changes in skin pigmentation.
Sunspots, medically called lentigos, and commonly referred to as liver spots, are a
product of sun exposure. This exposure is cumulative and not directly related to
sunburn on a specific day. Sunspots result from the increased production of melanin
as a consequence of long -standing sun exposure. The most common areas involved are
the face, neck, upper chest and arms.
Freckles, medically called ephelides, develop in fair-skinned individuals as a
result of sun exposure. This is the skin's protective measure against the harmful
effects of ultraviolet light. Freckles are predominantly seen on sun-exposed
surfaces and will fade when the skin is protected from ultraviolet light.
Medications are a frequent cause of sudden skin pigmentation. Most of the
pigmentation is seen in sun-exposed areas suggesting an interaction between
ultraviolet light and the ingested medication. Some known medications that can
cause skin pigmentation include anti-malarial medications, anti-seizure medications,
and minocycline. Ingestion of metal preparations that contain mercury, silver,
bismuth, arsenic, lead or gold can also contribute to hyperpigmentation. Most of
the time, a relationship is established between drug ingestion and darkening or
irritation of the skin.
Finally, post-inflammatory skin darkening is a common occurrence after irritation or
injury to the skin. It is more prominent in dark-skin, however, it is also seen in
lighter-skin individuals. After irritation or injury to the skin, the pigment
cells (melanocytes) deposit pigment in both the upper and lower layers of the skin.
This is a condition that usually clears with time, although it can last for months
to years. Immediate treatment is important, as this will help determine the outcome
and ultimate appearance of the area.

Recommendations:
First, identify the areas involved, the sequence of pigmentation and the extent of
involvement. If you can identify a source, such as over sun exposure or ingestion
of a medication, do your best to decrease or eliminate that source.
In addition, a safer and much more affordable alternative to dermabrasion, laser
treatment and chemical peels is by using a product that can be applied at home. An
example of this type of product is synergy skin care series Hyperpigmentation Cream
and Hyperpigmentation Fluids (Spot Removal Energy Treatment Pack).
