Hyperpigmentation is a common skin condition that causes darkening of certain areas of the skin. It can be caused by sun exposure, hormonal changes, acne, and skin injuries. Pigmentation occurs when excess melanin (skin pigment) has been stimulated and deposited unevenly. Dermapen treatments are highly effective for treating unwanted pigmentation. The treatment is for all skin shades, but is a particularly advantageous solution for dark skin tones, where laser treatments may not be the safest option due to further pigmentation risks.
