Hyperpigmentation Treatment in Malaysia

What is Hyperpigmentation?

Hyperpigmentation is a harmless condition where patches of skin become darker compared to the surrounding area. Darkening occurs when an excess of melanin (brown pigment) that is responsible for determining skin colour, within specialised cells known as melanocytes located in the skin’s epidermis and dermis layers, forms by  pigment cell and deposits in the skin. Hyperpigmentation can happen on any part of the body including the face, neck, chin, body, legs, hands, arms and back. Every hyperpigmentation is slightly different. Therefore, it is important to seek professional advice before getting treatment.

  • Hyperpigmentation Melasma

    Also known as Chloasma. Melasma can be easily spotted as splotchy patches inconsistent in shape and size, appearing on both cheeks, sides of the face, upper part of the nose, forehead and above the lip. It is commonly seen in middle-aged Asians. Genetics, UV radiation, pregnancy, hormonal therapies are common contributing factors.

  • Hyperpigmentation Solar Lentigo

    Solar Lentigo is also known as Sun Spots, Age Spots, Liver Spots. It is usually flat or slightly raised, clearly defined coin-like lesion on the face. It can also be brown, tan, or black spots that appear on body parts often exposed to the sun, e.g. hands, face, shoulders, arms, scalp if bald. It is common in middle age to elderly patients. They are related to excess sun exposure over time.

  • Hyperpigmentation Freckles

    Also known as Ephelides, freckles are concentrated small brown spots found predominantly on cheeks and nose of the face. It is a result of overproduction of melanin. Often seen before puberty, it becomes more obvious after sun exposure. Genetics plays a big part in freckles.

  • Post-inflammatory Hyperpigmentation

    Spots or patches of darkened skin that appear after an inflammatory skin condition, such as acne, injuries, eczema, insect bites etc. Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) are normally found in melanin-rich skin, usually appear on face and body. Body PIH generally takes longer to treat.

  • Seborrheic Keratosis

    Seborrheic keratosis is a common waxy or wartlike noncancerous skin growth. It has a characteristic "pasted on" look, and people tend to get more as they get older. It typically appears on the face, neck, chest, shoulders or back. You may develop a single growth, though multiple growths are more common.

  • Dermal Melanocytosis

    Dermal Melanocytosis is linked to specific mutations within the dermal melanocytes. Hormones play a part in their development. Nevus of Ota is on the forehead and face around the eyes. Hyperpigmentation of parts of the eye may occur (sclera, cornea, iris, retina). Hori’s Nevus is quite similar to Nevus of Ota but affects both sides of the face. Naevus of Ito is on the shoulder and upper arm.
