Hyperpigmentation
It often starts as a small dark spot. Maybe after a pimple heals, after too much sun, or after using a harsh skincare product. Over time, the marks begin to spread across the cheeks, forehead, or chin. This condition is called hyperpigmentation, where patches of skin become darker than the surrounding area because of excess melanin production.
Hyperpigmentation can be triggered by acne, sun exposure, inflammation, hormonal changes, or skin irritation. For people with melanin-rich skin, the skin naturally produces more pigment, which means even small irritation can lead to visible dark spots that linger for months.
Treatment for hyperpigmentation
At Doo Havilah Aesthetics in Abuja, we treat hyperpigmentation using safe corrective treatments designed specifically for darker skin tones. Treatments may include chemical peels, laser therapy, microneedling, and customized facials that gently improve skin renewal and fade dark spots.
With consistent care and the right treatments, skin tone gradually becomes clearer, brighter, and more balanced.
