Due to the large amount of sunlight to which we are exposed to daily, our skin defends itself by generating melanin that protects us from the harmful effects of this exposure.

Melanin is a substance that our body produces in melanocytes, in the lower layer of the epidermis. It is the pigment responsible for the color of the skin as well as the hair, eyes, etc. With age, the distribution of melanocytes is less diffuse and their regulation occurs in a less controlled way by the body. In some cases, even allergic reactions occur or the melanin pigment is overproduced, generating hyperpigmented skin with spots, melasma, darker skin tone and other problems that also cause an aesthetic deterioration in the skin.

Before carrying out any skin hyperpigmentation treatment, a customized and exhaustive study must be carried out by a specialist. The professional will determine what has caused the hyperpigmentation and the best alternative to treat it, in addition to ruling out any malignant wounds on the skin.
