Hyperpigmentation Treatment Guide
Hyperpigmentation pages are dense. This guide cuts them down to what they ask of you. For a first definition, read the hyperpigmentation page.
Explainers under this guide
Three labels, three pages
The sources treat hyperpigmentation, melasma and age spots on separate pages. Check which label matches your question. Start with the page on melasma or the page on what can get rid of age spots.
What your provider does
The American Society for Dermatologic Surgery says its physicians help diagnose the underlying cause of hyperpigmentation and customize a treatment plan to fit individual needs. So the cause comes first and the plan follows.
Before you decide
Read the guide for darker skin tones on fading dark spots if it applies to you. Write down your questions. Ask your own provider what is causing your pigment.
