Hyperpigmentation is one of the most common reasons for consultation in medical aesthetic clinics. Whether caused by sun exposure, hormonal changes, inflammation, or skin aging, dark spots can be stubborn and difficult to treat without a personalized approach.
At Espace Skins Montréal, we work daily with clients dealing with pigmentation concerns, melasma, and uneven skin tone. Our goal is to understand the root cause of the pigmentation and recommend safe, effective, and customized solutions.
What Is Hyperpigmentation?
Hyperpigmentation appears as darker patches on the skin caused by an overproduction of melanin. Common types include:
-
Sun spots
-
Melasma
-
Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation
-
Age-related pigmentation
Each type requires a tailored treatment strategy.
Why Do Dark Spots Appear?
Several factors contribute to hyperpigmentation:
-
Sun exposure
-
Hormonal fluctuations
-
Chronic inflammation
-
Skin aging
-
A weakened skin barrier
This is why a one-size-fits-all solution rarely delivers lasting results.

-
