What is Hyperpigmentation On Face?
Hyperpigmentation on face describes dark spots on the face. These spots are darker than the surrounding natural skin tone due to the overproduction of melanin which is the pigment that gives skin its color.
Causes of Hyperpigmentation On Face
Hyperpigmentation on the face develops when skin cells known as melanocytes produce excessive amounts of melanin. This occurs due to the following:
1.Inflammation
Inflammation causes post inflammatory hyperpigmentation. This inflammation can be caused by skin diseases like acne, insect bites, cuts, bruises, scratching and medical procedures like laser therapy.
Hyperpigmentation develops after inflammation because the inflammation stimulates melanocytes to produce melanin. Persons of African descent are more likely to develop hyperpigmentation.
2. Sun damage
Hyperpigmentation which develops after sun damage is known as solar lentigines or solar spots or sun spots or age spots or liver spots. This hyperpigmentation develops because sun exposure causes the melanocytes to produce more melanin as they attempt to protect the skin from damage.
3. Melasma
Melasma is a type of hyperpigmentation that develops as a result of sun exposure combined with genetics and hormonal changes such as those that occur during pregnancy or after taking oral contraceptives (birth control pills).
4. Medications
Medications which can cause hyperpigmentation include minocycline, amiodarone, amlodipine and antimalarials like chloroquin and hydroxychloroquin.
5. Medical conditions
Medical conditions which can cause hyperpigmentation include Addison’s disease in which the skin darkens especially over sun-exposed areas, in the mouth, on joints, scars and nails. Hemochromatosis also causes bronzing or darkening of the skin especially on sun-exposed areas.

Hyperpigmentation On Face Treatment in Nairobi Kenya
The best treatment of hyperpigmentation on face is a combination of dermatological procedures, prescription medications, OTC skincare products and lifestyle changes.
Dermatological Procedures for Hyperpigmentation On Face Treatment
Dermatological procedures used for hyperpigmentation treatment include microdermabrasion, microneedling and chemical peels.
Microdermabrasion for Hyperpigmentation Treatment
Microdermabrasion is a procedure in which a device is used to painlessly remove the dead cells on the surface of the skin. This reduces the discolorations on the skin resulting in more even toned skin. Removing the dead skin cells also enhances the absorption of hyperpigmentation treatment products.
At Almasi Skincare we offer microdermabrasion for hyperpigmentation on face treatment. Our unique microdermabrasion facial fades the dark patches by 30% after each session. It is therefore the best hyperpigmentation treatment since it works faster than just using skincare products.
.
Microneedling for Hyperpigmentation Treatment
Microneedling is a procedure in which a device is used to create micro-injuries in the skin. This stimulates the body to heal the area and normalize melanin production. The micro-injuries created also enhance the absorption of hyperpigmentation treatment products.
Studies show that microneedling disrupts pigment deposition in the skin. Other studies have shown that microneedling enhances overall skin texture and tone by promoting the regeneration of the dermis which leads to smoother skin and a more even complexion.
At Almasi Skincare we offer microneedling for hyperpigmentation on face treatment in Nairobi.
.
Chemical Peels for Hyperpigmentation Treatment
A chemical peel is a procedure in which a special solution is applied to the skin to remove the top layer of dead cells. This helps reduce hyperpigmentation since these cells tend to be the most discolored. It also leaves the skin softer, smoother and with a more youthful appearance. Chemical peels also help skin care products penetrate the skin better.
At Almasi Skincare we offer chemical peels for hyperpigmentation on face treatment in Nairobi.
.
Prescription Medications for Hyperpigmentation On Face Treatment
Prescription medications are used for hyperpigmentation treatment in Nairobi Kenya include topical retinoids.
Retinoids which are applied on the skin increase the rate of shedding of the dead skin cells which increases the rate of fading of the hyperpigmented patches. These vitamin A derivatives also have anti-inflammatory properties. Topical retinoids used to treat hyperpigmentation include tazarotene, tretinoin, and adapalene.

Lifestyle Changes for Hyperpigmentation On Face Treatment
Lifestyle changes that are used to treat hyperpigmentation on face include:
Using Sunscreen
Using sunscreen daily is very important because darkened skin patches tend to become darker when exposed to the sun. Therefore use sunscreen every day because it protects the skin from the harmful effects of the sun’s rays and prevents overproduction of melanin.
We recommend the La Roche Posay Invisible Fluid SPF 50 Sunscreen because if can be used by all skin types.
The price in Kenya for La Roche Posay Invisible Fluid SPF 50 Sunscreen is Ksh 3500.

In addition to using sunscreen, practice sun avoidance by staying out of the sun when it is hottest which is usually between 10 am and 2 pm.
Do Not Squeeze Pimples
Do not pick or scratch or rub or squeeze pimples. Squeezing forces infected material deeper into the skin causing additional inflammation and infection which heals with scars and hyperpigmentation.
Seek Early Treatment
Seek early treatment of skin diseases like acne as well as any other condition that can heal with hyperpigmentation like cuts and bruises.
