Hyperpigmentation is affecting an increasing number of people. Caused by sun exposure, hormonal changes or ageing, it appears as dark spots and uneven skin tone. The areas most commonly affected are those exposed to the sun, such as the face, chest, legs and backs of the hands.

Frequently asked questions
Where do brown spots come from?
These spots are caused by an excess of melanin that is unevenly distributed. There are several types: melasma, or pregnancy mask, linked to hormonal changes; lentigo, commonly known as sun spots; and senile lentigo, which is age-related and often worsened by sun exposure.
What's the difference between lentigos, melasma, and age spots?
- Lentigos (sun spots): these brown spots appear on sun-exposed areas such as the face, hands or chest, and are caused by prolonged exposure to UV rays.
- Melasma (pregnancy mask): caused by hormonal imbalances (pregnancy, contraception), it manifests as irregular, often symmetrical spots on the face.
- Age spots (senile lentigos): linked to natural ageing and aggravated by sun exposure, they appear on uncovered areas such as the hands and face.
Each type of stain requires a specific treatment, adapted to its origin and intensity.
