Hi,
Hyper-pigmentation could be caused by exposure to the sun, but if could be also hereditary, or caused by hormonal changes. Laser can help the marks depends on its severity, but you need to do some research before you consider it. If the mark caused by the sun exposure, in addition to using sun screen with min 15 SPF (this is depends on the geographical location), sometimes improving skin cell regeneration can be recommended, in which you can use treatments such as Microdermabrasion, Facial treatments that using AHA, BHA (Alpha/Beta Hydroxide Acid), etc. and use the correct skincare products and routine. There are strong peeling products offered by some clinics, but I personally believe on gradual treatments for long term effect, which require patience. In my clinic- depends on the client of course, in terms of health and safety- sometimes sessions of Microdermabrasion, or Hydro facial (Using 10% AHA) can be effective, and then advising on the correct facial skincare products that suites your skin type and condition.
In skincare products you can consider few factors when you look at the ingredients- yet you need to check if there is any medical condition that could stop you using any particular product or treatments.
Some formula contain lumisphere technology that helps stabilise the tyrosinase enzyme whose activity is essential in pigment formation, therefore will fade pigmentation. Vitamin C acts as anti-oxidant and skin brightener. For example forms of stable vitamin C are Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate and Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate, also, rice extract is rich in phytic acid which, helps brighten pigmented areas as it binds copper preventing full development of colour. I hope this help. Feel free to visit my website:
