What causes hyperpigmentation, and how does it affect different skin types?

Hyperpigmentation occurs when an excess of melanin forms deposits in the skin. Melanin is the pigment responsible for skin color, and its overproduction can lead to dark spots. Factors that can trigger this overproduction include sun damage, hormonal changes (such as pregnancy or oral contraceptives), and certain medications. Different skin types can react differently to hyperpigmentation:

• Fair skin may show more noticeable contrast with dark spots
• Medium skin tones might experience more diffuse pigmentation
• Darker skin can develop hyperpigmentation more easily but also has a higher risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation

Understanding these differences is crucial for determining the most effective treatment possible for each skin type.

Is laser treatment with Harmony XL PRO suitable for all skin types?

The Harmony XL PRO laser treatment is a popular choice for tackling hyperpigmentation because of its versatility and effectiveness. However, its suitability can vary depending on skin type. Harmony XL PRO is designed to be gentle on the skin while effectively targeting dark spots. Its advanced technology allows for customizable settings that can be adjusted to suit different skin tones and types, making it a viable option for many patients.

How do I know if I am a good candidate for hyperpigmentation treatment?
