Hyperpigmentation and Melasma
What they are, why do they happen, and how GHK-Cu or a GLOW peptide blend can help. What Is Hyperpigmentation? Hyperpigmentation = areas of skin that become darker than your natural tone due to excess melanin production. Common types: - Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) – after acne, irritation, picking - Solar lentigines (sun spots) – from UV exposure - Melasma – hormonally influenced pigment patches What Is Melasma? Melasma is a chronic pigment condition that appears as: - Symmetrical brown/gray patches - Commonly on cheeks, upper lip, forehead - More common in women - Often worsens with heat, sun, pregnancy, birth control, or hormonal shifts It’s sometimes called the “mask of pregnancy.” Why Hyperpigmentation and Melasma Occur: Pigment production involves: 1. UV radiation 2. Inflammation 3. Hormones 4. Barrier disruption Melasma is especially complex because it involves: 1. Vascular changes 2. Dermal inflammation 3. Increased melanocyte sensitivity 4. Heat triggers (not just UV) Learn how GHK-Cu and GLOW blends can help (see attached file).
