Hyperpigmentation refers to spots or patches of skin that are darker than the surrounding area. They develop due to several factors including sun exposure, hormonal fluctuations, inflammation, and with age.
Melanocytes within skin cells produce melanin which is responsible for providing skin its color. When overproduction occurs, excess melanin accumulates and forms hyperpigmented patches.
Microneedling involves piercing the skin with small sterile needles to produce a controlled skin injury. This triggers the skin’s wound-healing process which prompts skin cell turnover and allows fresh, new cells to replace damaged ones. At the same time, it boosts collagen and elastin production to remodel skin by altering tissue formation.
