More melanin production gives you darker skin, hair, and eyes. Your body’s level of melanin production depends on factors such as genes and the level of exposure your ancestors had. Melanin can be of three types – Eumelanin, Pheomelanin, and Neuromelanin. Eumelanin and Pheomelanin give color to your skin, eyes, and hair.  All humans usually have the same amount of melanocytes, which produce various amounts of melanin. People with more melanin usually have darker skin, hair, and eyes than those with lesser melanin and may even get freckles. However, melanin protects your cells’ genetic materials by avoiding hazardous UV rays. The excess melanin production causes hyperpigmentation, which is harmless. You may also have dark patches of skin.  Factors Influencing Skin Pigmentation Your skin gets color from an element called melanin, which is composed of skin cells. Unhealthy or damaged skin cells can produce excess melanin, clumping and darkening the area.  Here are the several causes of hyperpigmentation: Types of Skin Fairness Treatments Here are the types of skin fairness treatments you can do at our clinic:  Chemical Peel A chemical peel is about applying a chemical solution on your skin to remove the topmost layer.
