Hyperpigmentation

Hyperpigmentation is when patches of your skin become darker than the surrounding area due to excess melanin production. Common causes include:

• Sun damage

• Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) (e.g., after acne)

• Melasma

• Hormonal changes

• Skin injuries

PRP helps by:

• Delivering growth factors that repair skin cells and reduce melanin production

• Boosting collagen and cell turnover, helping fade dark patches

• Improving skin texture, tone, and overall brightness

• Supporting natural healing and reducing inflammation in pigmented areas

While PRP is not a bleaching agent, it rejuvenates the skin and can help reduce discoloration especially when combined with treatments like microneedling, chemical peels, or laser.

1. Blood Draw
   A small sample of your own blood is taken.

2. Centrifugation
   The blood is spun to separate the platelet-rich plasma.

3. Application
   You may receive PRP through:

4. Microneedling + PRP (very popular for pigmentation)

5. Direct PRP injections into affected areas

6. Topical PRP application after laser or peeling treatments

7. Post-Treatment Care

8. Redness and mild swelling for 1–3 days

9. Avoid sun exposure and follow skincare instructions

10. Use SPF daily

What the research and users say:

• PRP can lighten dark spots and improve skin tone over time

• Most effective for post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation and melasma

• Gentler than some lasers or peels — suitable for sensitive skin

• Works well when combined with other therapies (like microneedling or topical lightening agents)

 Some studies show PRP combined with microneedling outperforms microneedling alone in fading melasma and PIH.

You're a good candidate if:

• You have dark spots, melasma, or PIH from acne or injury

• You prefer a natural, regenerative skin treatment

• You want to avoid harsh bleaching agents or aggressive lasers

• You’ve tried creams or peels with limited success

• You have darker skin tones and are looking for a safe, low-risk option

Not ideal for:

• Very deep pigmentation without a combo approach (like laser or peels)

• Active skin infections or open wounds

• People expecting immediate results (PRP works gradually)
