Hispanics More Likely To Develop Skin Conditions.

Every year five to six million women are affected by a dermatological condition that can change the way they see themselves. Hyperpigmentation, a skin disorder that produces dark spots or patches on the face that can sometimes resemble a mask, can have serious psychological effects due to the high visibility of the condition. Two common forms of hyperpigmentation, melasma and postinflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), have a higher incidence in the Hispanic population due to genetic predisposition to the disease. Living in areas of intense ultraviolet (UV) radiation can also increase the recurrence of hyperpigmentation disorders.

“EpiQuin Micro is a powerful weapon against hyperpigmentation disorders in all skin types,” said Dr. Marta Rendon of The Dermatology and Aesthetics Center in Miami. “The product is a steroid-free solution which enables it to be used for both acute and maintenance therapy without harmful side effects.”
