Hyperpigmentation

Hyperpigmentation refers to discoloration caused by deposits of melanin that appear as stubborn brown spots. Often when skin is exposed to harsh components such as sun and birth control pills, the normal production of melanin becomes impaired resulting in an over abundance of pigment in certain areas of the face. This is a tough skin problem that many people face. Sun sensitizing medications and pregnancy may contribute to some of this blotchiness.

Treating hyperpigmentation requires patience and time. The average person begins to see results after about 3–6 months (or longer )depending on the depth of the pigment stain. The results achieved are not a permanent solution, therefore, clients are instructed to ALWAYS use 100% sun protection at all times. Your esthetician will advise you on a customized home maintenance plan that enhances your complexion and reduces the appearance of brown spots. Ask about our FREE skin scanning.
