Hyperpigmentation is a common skin condition that causes dark patches or spots on the skin, leading to an uneven complexion. While it’s usually harmless, it can affect your confidence and overall appearance. At Purple Plum in Falls Church, VA, we specialize in advanced treatments like Opus Plasma to effectively address hyperpigmentation.
What is Hyperpigmentation?
Hyperpigmentation occurs when certain areas of the skin produce more melanin than others. Melanin is the pigment responsible for skin color, and when it’s overproduced, it can lead to darker patches that stand out from the surrounding skin.
Causes of Hyperpigmentation
Hyperpigmentation can be triggered by various factors, including:
- Sun Exposure: UV rays stimulate melanin production, often leading to sunspots or age spots.
- Hormonal Changes: Conditions like melasma are commonly triggered by pregnancy or hormonal therapies.
- Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH): Dark spots that appear after skin inflammation, such as acne, eczema, or injuries.
- Certain Medications: Some drugs, such as chemotherapy or antibiotics, may cause hyperpigmentation as a side effect.
Types of Hyperpigmentation
- Melasma: Appears as larger patches of discoloration, often on the face, and is linked to hormonal changes.
- Sunspots: Small, flat, dark spots caused by prolonged sun exposure.
- Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation: Occurs after a skin injury or condition, leaving residual dark marks.

Benefits of Periodontal Therapy
Periodontal therapy offers several significant benefits that extend beyond just oral health. Here are four key benefits:
One of the primary benefits of periodontal therapy is the prevention of tooth loss. Periodontal disease, if left untreated, can lead to the destruction of the bone and connective tissue that support the teeth.
Periodontal disease is associated with chronic inflammation, which can have adverse effects on overall health. By treating periodontal disease, patients can reduce systemic inflammation, potentially lowering the risk of related health conditions such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and rheumatoid arthritis.
Periodontal therapy helps improve oral hygiene by thoroughly cleaning the pockets around the teeth, which are difficult to clean with regular brushing and flossing alone.
Healthier gums appear firm and pink, which contributes to an overall more attractive smile. Additionally, periodontal treatment can stabilize teeth and prevent further recession, helping patients maintain a youthful and confident appearance.
