What is Hyperpigmentation?

Hyperpigmentation is a common skin condition where certain areas become darker than the surrounding skin due to excess melanin. It can result from acne scars, UV exposure, hormonal changes, or skin trauma. At Seojeong Dermatology, we tailor each treatment to your skin’s condition, tone, and sensitivity — ensuring safe results, especially for Asian skin types.
