Abstract:
Pigmentary disorders and hyperpigmentation are widespread. Dark skin types in particular show a tendency to formation of melasmas and to hyperpigmentation. Light skin types have a tendency to ephelides and solar lentigines. In addition to topical treatment with lightening substances, superficial chemical peeling as well as combined procedures of topical treatment with chemical peeling play an important role in the treatment of hyperpigmentation. A strict avoidance of UV light and consequent daily application of sun protectíon factor 50+ are mandatory for successful treatment.
