Hyperpigmentation is one of the most common cosmetic skin concerns in the UK and globally.
Known as age spots, sun spots, dark spots or melasma, it is most generally caused by sun exposure as a result of the skin producing more melanin aka the pigment that is responsible skin’s colouring. There are different types, are generally harmless and present as darker or inflammed patches on the face, hands and on the body. It is challenging to remove and, much like all anti-ageing skincare, prevention is better than treatment.
