Dr. Devgan was recently interviewed by Vogue India to discuss the causes, treatments, and prevention tips for hyperpigmentation. Dr. Devgan is a board-certified plastic surgeon and founder of the luxury medical-grade skincare line, Dr. Lara Devgan Scientific Beauty, so her expertise on the subject is superior.
Hyperpigmentation Collection
Hyperpigmentation is caused by various factors, like sun exposure, trauma, and scarring, and is a main skin concern for Indians living in the tropics. Hyperpigmentation appears on the skin in the form of “freckles, age spots, brown or beige spots, or even a confluence of patches of dark colours on the skin.” According to Dr. Devgan, “medium, olive and darker skin tones can often experience more hyperpigmentation because of a tendency of the skin to tan in response to noxious stimuli.” Ways in which you can treat hyperpigmentation “range from at-home and minimally invasive to extensive in-office procedures”, like lasers, chemical peels, and microinfusion microneedling. For a less invasive approach, Dr. Devgan recommends “topical products including Vitamin C serum, retinol, bakuchiol, hyaluronic, peptides, and zinc- or titanium- based SPF.” If your skin requires something more intense, in-office treatments are a great option. In the end, the most important step anyone can take to prevent hyperpigmentation is applying sunscreen on a daily basis.
If your skin is experiencing hyperpigmentation, you should look into the Hyperpigmentation Collection.
