Hyperpigmentation (spots) are caused by excessive production of melanin, and can represent a major aesthetic problem. A number of factors can influence the appearance of hyperpigmentation, the most common of which are the sun, hormones, inflammatory conditions, skin injuries, and genetic predisposition. Hyperpigmentation can also be a symptom of some systemic diseases, such as autoimmune diseases, diseases of the digestive system, metabolic disorders and vitamin deficiencies.
Medical chemical peelings of phytic, kojic and salicylic acids, mesotherapy, as well as local preparations that the patient continues to use at home are most often used in therapy.
