Hyperpigmentation / Sun Spots / Melasma

Hyperpigmentation or dark patches of the skin develop due to excess of melanin, the brown pigment that gives skin color. People with dark skin are more prone to develop hyperpigmentation.

Causes of Hyperpigmentation:

  • Sun damage to the skin
  • Inflammation after acne, skin injury, or infection.
  • Genetic predisposition.
  • Melasma: occurs mostly in women and is related to pregnancy hormones.
    Depending on your skin type and underlying problems we offer a customized approach to hyperpigmentation and melasma.

Topicals:

First of all, effective sunscreen, prevention is always preferred over treatment. Using efficient physical sunscreen effectively prevents hyperpigmentation. Lightening creams that are made up of hydroquinone and azelaic acid are used to even and brighten skin tone.

Treatments used for hyperpigmentation: 

  • Chemical Peel: We offer Revepeel. Revepeel is a medical-grade chemical peel, refined to deliver superior results only found in much stronger and deeper chemical peels. It is designed to be safe and effective for any skin type. There are four highly efficacious peeling acids that penetrate into the skin through a revolutionary oil-blended delivery system which reduces the risk of inflammation and hyperpigmentation. The top layer of skin is exfoliated in sheets over 7 days, revealing beautiful new skin. You will receive a customized 28-day aftercare kit to ensure rapid healing and prolonged results.

  • Mesotherapy: Microdroplet injections of lightening ingredients-vitamin C, glutathione, and tranexamic acid. It can be combined with other ingredients to promote collagen production and tighten the skin. It is recommended for most patients to receive a series of 3 treatments spaced about 2-4 weeks apart.

  • Micro-Needling: Combined with lightning ingredients or PRF with the added benefit of collagen stimulation.

  • Tixel: The Tixel is a skin resurfacing treatment that creates tiny micro-coagulation channels. We use a lightening solution to penetrate the skin through microchannels. It is advised to use it with prescribed lightening creams as well.
