Une tache brune sur le visage, sur le corps ou sur les mains n’apparaît jamais par hasard. La peau, sous l’influence des rayons du soleil, accumule la mélanine. La pigmentation naturelle se concentre et des zones d’hyperpigmentation se dévoilent.
Une tache brune sur le visage, sur le corps ou sur les mains n’apparaît jamais par hasard. La peau, sous l’influence des rayons du soleil, accumule la mélanine. La pigmentation naturelle se concentre et des zones d’hyperpigmentation se dévoilent.
C’est le principal facteur. Il aggrave la production de mélanine et fragilise la peau, même chez les peaux jeunes. Des expositions répétées, une absence de protection solaire ou un coup de soleil favorisent l’apparition de taches brunes, surtout sur les zones sensibles (visage, mains, décolleté).
Ils déclenchent une hyperpigmentation typique, le fameux masque de grossesse ou mélasma, qui colore la peau de teintes brunes sous l’action conjuguée du soleil et des hormones. La période de péri-ménopause et ménopause est également propice à l’apparition de taches pigmentaires en raison des fluctuations hormonales.
Mais la peau peut aussi révéler des taches pigmentaires à cause d’une maladie, d’un stress cutané ou d’une inflammation chronique.
Une prédisposition génétique à l’hyperpigmentation rend la peau plus vulnérable. Même l’inflammation cutanée, suite à une irritation, un bouton ou une cicatrice est susceptible de stimuler les mélanocytes. La surproduction de mélanine conduit à la formation de taches pigmentaires post-inflammatoires, souvent plus visibles et tenaces.
L’hyperpigmentation post-inflammatoire est le résultat d’un excès de production de mélanine à cause d’une inflammation de la peau. Les cytokines et les médiateurs inflammatoires stimulent en effet parfois les mélanocytes. Cela entraîne une augmentation de la production de mélanine. Les phototypes mates et foncés y sont particulièrement sujets.
From the Greek word "melas" or "black," melasma or chloasma is commonly called a pregnancy mask. It is hyperpigmentation that appears as brown spots on the skin. The spots' color gradually intensifies with sun exposure.

Hands are one of the first areas affected by skin aging. Delicate, thin, and exposed to the sun, the skin on the hands marks easily, wrinkling and becoming pigmented with time. To rejuvenate your hands, various treatments are available at Maison Lutétia.
Acne scars usually appear after inflammatory acne, when a pimple or a wound does not heal properly and does not form enough connective tissue. As a result, a scar develops under the skin, and a slight indentation is visible. These marks are also known as stigmata scarring.
No, brown spots are generally not dangerous for health! While they are sometimes seen as bothersome from an aesthetic point of view, at Maison Lutétia, numerous treatments are available to reduce their appearance. Although benign, it is still important to remain cautious, as a melanoma (skin cancer) can be confused with a lentigo, which is a age spot. If in doubt, consult a dermatologist.
Lentigo (or lentigine or age spots, lentigo senile, lentigo solaris) is a hyperpigmented, flat, or slightly raised spot that can appear anywhere on skin exposed to the sun.
Melasma, also known as chloasma, is a form of facial hyperpigmentation, particularly on the cheeks, nose bridge, forehead, and upper lip. About 10-15% of pregnant women are affected by melasma, also known as the "pregnancy mask," as endogenous hormones (i.e., hormones produced naturally in the body) stimulate melanocytes (melanin-producing cells located in the basal layer of the epidermis), resulting in excess melanin production.
Ephelides, or freckles, are small, pigmented spots that appear from childhood under the effect of the sun, most often on light skins and in redheads. Of light brown color, they’re flat and can form groups with spots of various sizes. They are generally found on the face, the hands, the neckline, and the back.
A "mole" or nevus appears due to a proliferation of melanocytes, skin cells that produce melanin. They are usually harmless but, in some cases, can develop into melanoma. Have your moles examined by a dermatologist to make sure they are benign.
Actinic keratosis is a spot related to overexposure to the sun and is a skin cancer risk. Actinic keratosis lesions most often affect fair skin and sun-exposed areas, such as the face and back of the hands.

A pigment spot is often smooth, round, oval, and darker in color than the skin.
They often appear on the sensitive areas most exposed to the sun, such as the hands, face, and décolleté.
Pigment spots can appear on all skin types that have undergone intensive sun exposure or experiencing skin aging.
Fruits full of antioxidants, such as papaya, can be applied as a mask. Also, using lemon juice would lighten pigmentation spots. Finally, certain essential oils, such as carrot oil, can help reduce their appearance.
Applying a high SPF sun cream during exposure is the most effective preventive against stains.
Melanin becomes concentrated in some sensitive regions in skin aging, accelerated by sun exposure, forming spots.
They can appear anywhere prone to exposure, from the hands to the décolleté to the face.
Sun exposure, smoking, pollution.
Actinic lentigos: These are benign brown spots related to photoaging.
Senile lentigos are also benign pigment spots that appear with aging skin.
Malignant lentigos: This pigmentary spot can turn into a melanoma.
Touraine's neuro dysgraphic centrofacial lentiginosis is an accumulation of brown spots on the skin with a higher-than-average number of melanocytes in the basal layer of the epidermis.
Precautions: Sun protection remains the essential preventive measure against the appearance of age spots.

Melasma, also known as chloasma, is a form of hyperpigmentation that appears on the face, particularly on the cheeks, bridge of the nose, forehead and upper lip. Around 10-15% of pregnant women are affected by melasma, also known as the "pregnancy mask", as endogenous hormones (i.e. hormones produced naturally in the body) stimulate melanocytes (melanin-producing cells located in the basal layer of the epidermis), resulting in excess melanin production.
The hormonal disorder caused by pregnancy leads to an overproduction of melanin.
These are pigmented spots that appear on the face, on the cheeks, nose bridge, forehead and upper lip, but also on the body on the hands or décolleté (neckline).
Sunlight, genetic predisposition, age and certain anti-epileptic drugs.
Epidermal melasma: Epidermal melasma is the most superficial. An increase in pigmentation in the upper layer of the skin, the epidermis, characterizes it.
Dermal melasma: Dermal melasma is defined as an increase in pigmentation in the second layer of the skin, the dermis.
Mixed melasma: This is a combination of epidermal and dermal melasma.
Precautions: To prevent pregnancy masks, you must protect yourself from the sun by applying a cream with a high SPF and wearing a head covering.
Our adapted aesthetic treatments: TCA peeling and radiofrequency micro-needling (sessions can be performed after childbirth without breastfeeding).
