Whether due to the sun (solar lentigines), age (senile
lentigines), pregnancy (melasma), a scar or spots (post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation), our skin’s marks and spots reflect our life. The cause of these hyperpigmentations: an abnormal overproduction of melanin that darkens the skin. Although it is seldom a reason for visiting a dermatologist, women also experience hyperpigmentation due to friction, in specific areas such as the underarms, crotch, elbows and knees. This skin discolouration is caused by
friction with clothes, hair removal or reactive skin in areas subject to repeated friction. These pigmentation disorders heavily impact those who are affected.
Erasing these pigmentary defects and returning to an even, radiant complexion requires time and diligence, yet women want immediate results.
