Hyperpigmentation is the result of overactive melanocytes (the cells in your skin that create melanin, the pigment that gives your skin its "tone"). The reasons that this happens in skin are many, but they include conditions such as:
- Hormonal changes associated with menopause, pregnancy, or puberty.
- Sun damage, where UVA and UVB rays from sunlight cause increased production of melanin in skin. When this happens evenly, it is called a "suntan", but as skin is damaged the production is often not even at all, resulting in age spots or sun spots.
- Postinflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), is the result of a reaction in your skin to some kind of "trauma" it has sustained. This often occurs after a surgical procedure or after aggressive laser resurfacing. It can also occur after a mild chemical peel or as a result of using irritating topical products. This can hamper the results of an otherwise successful procedure or skin care regimen.
- In the past, the most common therapies for hyperpigmentation have included products containing hydroquinone, which are considered effective, but can be very irritating to many skin types due to their cytotoxic nature. Other ingredients such as arbutin, licorice extract or kojic acid are less irritating but also generally much less effective.
Fortunately, now there is Lumixyl®. Lumixyl® is a revolutionary breakthrough peptide available in a Pro-Infusion solution exclusively for SilkPeel treatments. It is also available in a Topical Brightening Creme for daily home application.
