Skin problems can greatly impact confidence in one’s self. A very frequent problem is hyperpigmentation. We’ve all heard of the term before, but what exactly is it?
Hyperpigmentation causes dark spots to appear on the hands, the face, and other parts of the body which have been exposed to the sun’s ultraviolet rays. Not only does it create anxiety and a lack of confidence, but it is also difficult to conceal because the spots appear in a variety of dimensions and shapes with a range of colors from black to light brown.
There are a variety of types of hyperpigmentation. The ones listed below are the most commonly seen:
Pigmentation Spots – can be described as age spots. These appear because of exposure to sunlight. This is the reason they typically occur on areas of the body that are exposed to sunlight to sunlight, like hands, the face, and arms. These are typically tiny darkened skin patches.
Chloasma, or melasma, is sometimes referred to as, “pregnancy mask,” due to the fact that it is a problem for 90% of pregnant women. It is a result of hormonal changes during pregnancy as well as contraception. It can cause dark spots with odd designs on the face and hands that may be quite large in size.
Gradual Hyperpigmentation – is when a flat area of discoloration persists after the skin damage has healed. It’s a frequent occurrence for people suffering from acne. It may also be caused by cosmetic treatments like laser treatments, dermabrasion, or chemical peels.
Other factors that may cause the skin to darken. skin – like moles, scars, marks, and sun spots, as well as actinic Keratosis and skin cancer however, they’re not considered to be types of hyperpigmentation.
How does hyperpigmentation happen? It’s caused by an excess production of melanin – a pigment that provides natural pigmentation to our hair, skin, and eyes on certain areas of our skin. There are many factors that cause melanin overproduction however the most significant causes can be due to sunlight exposure, genetic factors such as age, hormonal changes, and even injury or irritation in the area of skin. It could also be a sign of some diseases.
Naturally, limiting the amount of time that you are in direct sunlight, wearing sun-protective clothing, and applying sunscreen that has a high protection factor for both UVA and UVB will help to lower the risk of hyperpigmentation as well as reduce the risk of worsening the dark spots that already exist.
Combating hyperpigmentation can be accomplished in a variety of ways, however, treatment with red light therapy has been proven to be the most efficient method of treatment. It’s not a secret that the majority of us are deficient in vitamin D at a minimum for those living in the Northern Hemisphere, yet light therapy has been a boon to the production of vitamin D. Red light therapy has been proven to be beneficial in greater ways than imagined.
Red light therapy stimulates cells by releasing the use of red light. Mitochondria within the cells of the skin absorb light particles that emit from the red light. this helps them produce more Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) which is the primary energy source for every cell. Through boosting the energy of cells Cells repair themselves quickly and return the skin to its normal levels of pigmentation.
The collagen levels increase, which helps to lessen other skin issues like Rosacea. Elastin levels are also elevated and help fight aging and give the skin a lifted and youthful look.
