It happens to everyone. One day you look in the mirror and there it is. A souvenir from past fun in the sun. What can start out as a cute little freckle like spot can transform into shadows that compete for center stage with your eyes and smile. Creating a clear canvas may seem undaunting but there are several solutions available to correct the issues in your tissues.
The first line of defense is always SPF. Daily use creates good habits and prevents not only skin cancers, but pigments as well as loss of elasticity we encounter through exposure to HEV- high energy visible blue light from computers and phones that can slowly but consistently affect our skin’s elasticity.
Darkening of the skin can be a result of sun exposure, hormonal imbalances, and marks left behind after a bout with acne referred to as Post Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation or PIH.
Regardless of the type of pigments you are experiencing, they will not resolve on their own. Therefore, creating a plan of action with your aesthetician is the place to start.
Daily use of products designed to break up pigmentation can make remarkable strides when used consistently. Look for ingredients such as kojic acid, azelaic acid, niacinamides, vitamin C, licorice extract, tranexamic acid all works to reduce pigments and brighten the skin.
In addition, daily use of LED or red-light therapy will enhance collagen production and enforce the effects of topicals. Consistency is the key to seeing results with at home LED therapies.
Depending on your budget and skin type, in-office treatments can boost the effects of you at home program to a significant degree.
Chemical peels are the tried and true go to for correcting hyperpigmentation in the skin. Offered in a variety of formulations, peels can range from light to deep. Some peels are not appropriate for warmer skin tones so be sure to consult your aesthetic advisor before making decisions. A series of peels can significantly brighten the skin as well as smooth and refine the texture.
Microneedling is experiencing a moment in skincare right now as well. The versatility of microneedling is useful and the addition of serums such as PDRN allow you to leave the office with little of any downtime or recovery.
Ask your professional about alternating peels with microneedling for dynamic results. Microneedling affects the skin on a deeper level than peels, but they work well in conjunction with one another to achieve firmer, brighter, and smoother skin.
Lasers that target pigments can also be a solution. After your treatment you can expect to see the pigments darken then slough over a period of about one week. As with most treatments, as series of treatments is advised.
To prevent pigments from recurring, periodic treatments are suggested to maintain progress, particularly with hormonal pigmentation like Melasma. The body content of your post goes here.
