Pigmentation treatment

ADVANCE TREATMENTS FOR PIGMENTATION

WHAT YOU CAN DO?

Hyperpigmentation is a common skin condition where patches of skin become darker than the surrounding skin due to an excess of melanin, the pigment that gives skin its color. It can be caused by a variety of factors, including sun exposure, hormonal changes, and skin inflammation. Hyperpigmentation can occur anywhere on the body, but is most commonly seen on the face, neck, and hands.

LIGHTENING CREAMS

Lightening creams are topical treatments designed to reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation by inhibiting the production of melanin, the pigment that gives skin its color. These creams often contain ingredients like hydroquinone, kojic acid, or vitamin C, and can be purchased over-the-counter or by prescription. It’s important to note that some lightening creams may have potential side effects, and should be used under the guidance of a healthcare professional.

FACE ACIDS

“Face acids” refer to skincare ingredients that are acids, such as alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) and beta-hydroxy acids (BHAs). These ingredients are used in skincare products to exfoliate and improve the texture and appearance of the skin. AHAs are water-soluble and work on the surface of the skin, while BHAs are oil-soluble and penetrate deeper into the pores. Some common face acids include glycolic acid, lactic acid, salicylic acid, and citric acid.

RETINOIDS

Retinoids are a class of skincare ingredients derived from Vitamin A that are used to treat a variety of skin concerns, including acne, fine lines, and hyperpigmentation. They work by increasing cell turnover and stimulating collagen production, which can help to improve the overall texture and appearance of the skin. Some common retinoids include retinol, tretinoin, and adapalene. 

CHEMICAL PEEL

A chemical peel is a cosmetic procedure in which a chemical solution is applied to the skin, causing it to exfoliate and peel off. This can improve the texture and appearance of the skin, and is often used to treat sun damage, acne, and hyperpigmentation.

LASER PEEL (SKIN RESURFACING)

Laser skin resurfacing, also known as a laser peel, is a cosmetic procedure that uses a laser to remove damaged outer layers of skin. This can help to improve the texture and appearance of the skin, and is often used to treat fine lines, wrinkles, and acne scars.

INTENSE PULSE LIGHT THERAPY (IPL)

Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) therapy is a cosmetic procedure that uses high-intensity pulses of light to improve the appearance of the skin. It can be used to treat a variety of skin concerns, including hyperpigmentation, sun damage, and acne, and is often used on the face, neck, and hands.

MICRODERMABRASION

Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that uses a handheld device to exfoliate and remove the outer layer of dead skin cells. This can help to improve the texture and appearance of the skin, and is often used to treat fine lines, acne, and hyperpigmentation.

DERMABRASION

Dermabrasion is a cosmetic procedure that uses a rotating instrument to remove the outer layers of skin. It can help to improve the appearance of scars, wrinkles, and hyperpigmentation, and is often used on the face. Dermabrasion is more invasive than microdermabrasion and may require more recovery time.
