Hyperpigmentation & Melasma

Hyperpigmentation

Hyperpigmentation is a highly common condition that manifests in various ways, ranging from freckles to melasma. It can be either genetically predisposed or a result of external factors such as excessive sun exposure or skin injuries. Internal hyperpigmentation often occurs due to specific medications like contraceptive pills or after pregnancy. Each type of hyperpigmentation has a different cause, leading to varied treatment options. When addressing any form of hyperpigmentation, essential products are required to protect the skin from further UV damage and aid in the removal of surface pigmentation. Your skin therapist may recommend pigment inhibitors and products with sun protection factor (SPF) as fundamental measures.

Suitable treatments: Medical peels, combined peels, Lumecca IPL, laser pigmentation removal, DermaSweep MD, micro-needling, Cosmelan, Dermamelan depigmentation, and Prodigy peels.

Melasma

Melasma is another type of hyperpigmentation, characterized by dark patches on the face. It is often hormonally induced and can be triggered by factors like pregnancy or contraceptive pills, among others. Melasma can be effectively treated with various methods, but its management requires ongoing maintenance for achieving long-term results.

Suitable treatments: Cosmelan and Dermamelan depigmentation, Prodigy peeling, and combined peels.
