Inflammation Is the Root of Hyperpigmentation—Here’s What to Do

If you’re constantly battling dark marks, the real enemy might be inflammation. Inflammation is what turns breakouts, bug bites, or irritation into long-lasting hyperpigmentation—especially in melanin-rich skin.

When the skin is inflamed, it produces excess melanin in the affected area. This leads to post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) that can last for months if left untreated.

What causes inflammation in darker skin?

• Picking at pimples

• Harsh exfoliants

• Fragrance-heavy or drying products

• Heat and sun exposure

At UltraRay, we focus on soothing inflammation first, using facials, calming ingredients, and customized at-home routines. Treating the inflammation helps fade dark spots faster and prevents new ones from forming.
