HYPERPIGMENTATION

Alora Wellness & Spa offers a variety of treatments to help with any type of hyperpigmentation. "Hyperpigmentation is one of the most common skin concerns. Hyperpigmentation describes an area of skin that’s darker than the skin around it. These spots or patches of excess pigmentation are usually harmless, but they can make your skin tone look uneven. This can happen anywhere on the body, but it’s especially common on the face, neck, hands, and other areas where skin regularly gets exposed to light.  Our skin gets its color from a pigment called melanin, produced by cells called melanocytes. When these cells produce excess pigment, it gets deposited in the skin’s top layer (the superficial epidermis) or deeper in the dermis.

Hyperpigmentation happens in all skin tones, but it’s particularly prevalent in tan and brown skin (types IV through VI on the Fitzpatrick scale), which already contains high levels of melanin. In skin of color, strong hyperpigmentation treatments can make uneven pigmentation worse, so it’s key to find a specialist who’s experienced in treating deeply pigmented skin." -Real Self
