One of the most common skin issues we see in aesthetics is Hyperpigmentation, also known as brown spots, sun damage, or melasma. According to the National Cancer Institute, Hyperpigmentation is a usually harmless condition in which patches of the skin are darker than the skin surrounding. This condition can appear in different patterns and places such as freckles, age spots, melasma, and acne marks.
The causes of hyperpigmentation can vary including sun damage, pregnancy,
acne, medications, medical conditions, injury, or skin irritation. Some of these causes can
be prevented with the use of sunscreen and specialty skincare products but most reach the point of prevention before you can catch it. Once you can see hyperpigmentation it is too late to prevent it, however, ALWAYS wear sunscreen and use skincare to prevent further damage and darkening.
Here at Eye Candy Medspa, we have MANY modalities of the treatment of
hyperpigmentation. Many of our Skin Candy skincare products contain brightening
and lightening ingredients such as vitamin C, kojic acid, and hydroquinone. Some
