“Hyper” means “Excess” and “Pigmentation” means the “Dark colour of skin”. Hyper-pigmentation therefore means the excess darkening of skin beyond its normal colour. Hyper-pigmentation can occur as Dark patches, dark spots, freckles, dark circles, acne marks, sun tanning, etc., giving skin a dull and uneven complexion.

Hyper-pigmentation is often associated with open pores, acne, and rough patchy skin texture.

External damage to the skin or internal factors can start Hyper-pigmentation. External damage may include - Sun damage, anything that causes redness of skin, inflammation, injuries, acne, heat, shaving, waxing, plucking, etc. The internal factors may include - hormonal changes during puberty, post-pregnancy, during menopause, hormone treatments, contraceptive pills, steroids, drugs or medications.

Certain skin care products and home remedies may cause the above mentioned symptoms leading to Hyper-pigmentation.

Underlying medical conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, hypothyroidism, allergies, etc., may also promote the problem. In many cases it may also be genetically inherited from family members.

At the cellular level it is the over-activity of Melanocytes caused by external and/or internal factors that result in Hyper-pigmentation. Excess production of Melanin is only a symptom of the over-activity of Melanocytes. Conventional treatments that claim to reduce pigmentation either work only for the duration of the treatment or don’t work at all because they supress the symptom without treating the root cause.

Some therapies cause even more pigmentation because they damage skin further causing it to become Red and then more dark! Hyper-pigmentation can be effectively treated by normalising the over-active Melanocytes and restoring them to their normal young form.

Melblok is an advanced bio-active treatment for Hyper-pigmentation that treats the problem at the root cause. Melblok carefully penetrates the upper layers of skin to reach the basal epidermis where melanocytes reside. There, Melblok specifically acts on over-active Melanocytes and not only controls excess pigment production, but actually normalizes those over-active cells! In the process, the cells surrounding the melanocytes also become healthy! This helps make the skin revert back to its young, firm and healthy form - free of not only Hyper-pigmentation but also lines, wrinkles, open-pores, roughness and acne.
