Body Hyperpigmentation Treatment in Tysons Corner, VA
Restore Even, Radiant Skin All Over
What Is Body Hyperpigmentation?
Body hyperpigmentation is the appearance of dark patches, spots, or uneven skin tone anywhere below the chin—often the chest, arms, legs, or back. Common causes include:
- Sun exposure (main cause) stimulates excess melanin and leads to age spots, sun spots, and uneven tone.
- Hormonal changes (pregnancy, birth control, menopause) trigger melasma and persistent discoloration.
- Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation follows skin injuries, acne, eczema, or other rashes.
- Genetics, aging, and medications can also contribute to pigment issues.
Hyperpigmentation is harmless but commonly distressing for those seeking clear, uniform body skin.
