Hyperpigmentation Treatment At Dr. Konain Clinic
Hyperpigmentation
Hyperpigmentation is a skin condition where patches of the skin are darker than the rest. Dark patches on the face, neck and around mouth are formed due to extra melanin – color producing pigment.
When pigment producing cells (melanocytes) are damaged, they produce more melanin that bundle together. Clusters of melanin on certain parts of the skin lead to dark patches or hyperpigmentation. It can occur on any skin type and age group, but is generally harmless.
Causes Of Hyperpigmentation
- Sun Exposure
- Skin Inflammation
- Melasma
- Age Spots or Solar Lentigines
- Certain Drugs
Treatments For Hyperpigmentation
Cosmetic Procedures
- Intense Pulse Light (IPL) or photo facials : Here powerful and rapid flashes of light penetrate into the skin where it breaks down the melanin. The tiny fragments of melanin rise to the surface of the skin.
- Chemical Peels: Chemical peels can be described as the controlled chemical burning of the skin. It uses chemicals like Glycol acid or lactic acid to remove the top layers of the skin. This peels away dark patches or hyperpigmented skin and allows fresh skin cells to push up the surface.
- Laser Therapy: If your hyperpigmentation is deeper, consider a laser resurfacing treatment. Light beans are targeted at the skin to remove the epidermal layers of the skin. Look for medical advice to understand if your skin is compatible for this kind of laser therapy.
- Microdermabrasion: Microdermabrasion is a treatment that uses a hand held machine attached to an abrasive. When this machine is rolled on the skin, it removes the top layer of the skin and the associated pigmentation. The procedure is performed in several settings for maximum benefit.
Topical Creams
Topical creams are the first line of treatment for hyperpigmentation. Be consistent with the use of creams or serums and expect visible results only after weeks or months of usage.
- Hydroquinone : Hydroquinone is a skin lightening agent that functions by reducing the amount of melanin in the skin.
- Azelaic Acid : Acne causes inflammation and can leave the skin with hyperpigmentation. Azelaic acid treats discoloration and is a leave on gentle exfoliant. It is one of the safest and effective treatments for hyperpigmentation.
- Retinoids : Retinoids is a broad term used for vitamin A derivatives. Most common forms of retinoids are retinols and tretinoin. They are a miracle ingredient in skin care known for their incredible benefits like anti-aging and skin lightening.
Tips To Prevent Hyperpigmentation
Your aesthetician can help you identify the cause of your hyperpigmentation and work with you to develop an appropriate treatment plan.
- No matter what treatment you ultimately choose, it’s important to protect your skin from further sun damage and hyperpigmentation.
- Wearing sunscreen is the number one preventive measure for hyperpigmentation. Pick a broad spectrum sunscreen and apply it 20 minutes before you go outdoor.
- Wear hats, sunglasses, stoles and protective clothing while you are outdoors to protect the skin from the harsh rays.
- Pay attention to your skin care routine. Incorporate a mild exfoliating cleanser containing salicylic acid.
- Use a good moisturizer for hydration and to prevent further development of acne.
