Treatable Condition
Dark spots, uneven skin tone and stubborn discoloration can impact both your appearance and confidence. Hyperpigmentation, while a common skin concern, can be particularly frustrating as it often seems resistant to over-the-counter treatments. At AesthetiCare, we understand the complex nature of pigmentation issues and offer advanced solutions to help restore your skin’s natural, even tone.
Hyperpigmentation occurs when melanin, the pigment responsible for skin color, is produced in excess amounts. Various factors, including sun exposure, hormonal changes, inflammation or injury to the skin, can trigger this overproduction. Understanding the specific cause of your hyperpigmentation is crucial for developing an effective treatment strategy.
One of the most common forms is post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), which appears as dark spots after acne, injury or inflammation. Melasma, often called the “mask of pregnancy,” is triggered by hormonal changes and typically appears as symmetrical patches on the face. Solar lentigines, commonly known as age or sun spots, develop from years of sun exposure.
While various factors contribute to hyperpigmentation, sun exposure remains the primary culprit in both causing and worsening existing pigmentation. UV rays stimulate melanin production as the skin’s natural defense mechanism. This is why many people notice their dark spots becoming more pronounced during summer months or after sun exposure.
We always start with a detailed consultation to assess your specific concerns. We consider factors such as your skin type, the cause of your hyperpigmentation and any previous treatments you’ve tried. This allows us to create your personalized plan.
Your hyperpigmentation therapy continues with skin preparation. We may recommend specific products or treatments to optimize your skin’s condition before beginning more intensive procedures. This phase helps ensure better results and minimizes the risk of complications.
Managing hyperpigmentation is an ongoing process that requires a commitment to proper skincare and sun protection. We work with you to develop a maintenance plan that includes professional treatments and at-home care to help maintain your long-term results.
Daily sun protection is non-negotiable. We recommend medical-grade sunscreens that provide broad-spectrum protection against UVA and UVB rays. Regular use of targeted skincare products containing ingredients like vitamin C, kojic acid and niacinamide helps maintain an even skin tone and prevent new pigmentation from developing.
Throughout your treatment process, our team provides ongoing support and education. We help you understand the factors contributing to hyperpigmentation and teach you strategies to protect your skin. Follow-up appointments allow us to monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments to your treatment plan.
