HYPERPIGMENTATION
Hyperpigmentation, often characterised by darker patches or spots on the skin, can significantly impact your complexion and confidence.
Hyperpigmentation is a common skin condition characterised by darker patches or spots that develop on the skin. This discoloration occurs when there is an overproduction of melanin, the pigment responsible for skin colour. While hyperpigmentation itself is typically harmless, it can contribute to uneven skin tone and diminished confidence.
Several factors can contribute to the development of hyperpigmentation. Sun exposure is one of the primary culprits, as ultraviolet (UV) radiation stimulates melanin production in the skin. Hormonal changes, such as those experienced during pregnancy or while taking certain medications, can also trigger hyperpigmentation, leading to conditions like melasma. Additionally, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation can occur because of skin trauma, such as acne lesions or cuts.
Fortunately, several treatments are available to address hyperpigmentation and restore a more even skin tone. LaseMD Ultra™ is an advanced laser treatment that targets hyperpigmentation with precision, breaking down excess melanin and stimulating collagen production for smoother, more radiant skin. Medical-grade skincare products containing ingredients like retinoids, and vitamin C can help to lighten dark spots and prevent further pigmentation. Skin peels, such as chemical peels or enzyme peels, are also effective in exfoliating the skin and promoting cellular turnover, leading to a brighter, more uniform complexion.
During your initial consultation, Amanda will determine the most suitable treatment or combination of treatments based on individual skin type, concerns, and desired outcomes. By addressing hyperpigmentation effectively, you can achieve clearer, more luminous skin and regain your confidence.
