Skin Lightening is a treatment designed to treat uneven skin tone caused by hyperpigmentation, such as stretch marks, sun damage, scars, etc.
Hyperpigmentation is when a patch of skin becomes darker in color than the surrounding areas. Darkening happens when there is an excess of melanin production. Melanin is what gives our skin color.
There are several reasons as to why discoloration can happen such as, hormonal changes, excessive sun exposure without proper SPF, friction, diabetes, aging, ethnic predisposition, etc.
