Pigment spots are among the leading causes of dermatological cosmetic consultations. Whether it's post-acne marks, pregnancy masks or sun-related spots, hyperpigmentation affects all skin tones and all ages.
But behind a simple “brown spot” there is actually a complex biological process that is essential to understand in order to choose a truly effective treatment.
The Meladerm range, developed by SOSKIN, is positioned today as a global dermatological response, scientifically constructed and compatible with all profiles, including pregnant women.
Hyperpigmentation: a skin disorder much more common than we imagine
Hyperpigmentation is a phenomenon that concerns one in three women according to data presented by SOSKIN.
It manifests itself by the appearance of areas darker than the natural color of the skin, due to excessive and localized production of melanin.
The main origins are clearly identified:
- Repeated solar exposure
- Hormonal variations (pregnancy, estrogen-progestin contraception)
- Skin inflammation (acne, rubbing, hair removal)
- Skin aging
Under the influence of these factors, melanocytes — the cells that produce melanin — become hyperactive, causing irregular accumulation of the pigment in the epidermis.
The different types of pigment spots
Not all stains are the same, and the causes directly determine the treatment strategy.
1. Post-inflammatory spots (HPPI)
They appear after a skin lesion: acne spots, burns, irritation, micro-cuts, etc. They affect all skin tones but persist longer on dark to dark skin.
2. Melasma (pregnancy mask)
It manifests itself as symmetrical spots located on the forehead, cheekbones and upper lip.
This phenomenon is directly linked to hormonal variations and is particularly common from the second trimester of pregnancy.
The difficulty with melasma lies in its frequent recurrence, hence the importance of using formulas that are extremely well tolerated, non-aggressive and suitable for prolonged use.
3. Lentigos (age spots)
They appear after years of cumulative sun exposure and multiply with age.
Why treating stains requires a holistic approach
No, a simple “lightening” cream is not enough.
Treating hyperpigmentation effectively requires action on several levels:
- Soothe inflammation
- Inhibit overproduction of melanin
- Prevent the transfer of pigment to the surface
- Accelerate cell renewal
- Preserve the skin barrier
This is precisely where the Meladerm range stands out with a 360° dermatological approach.
