Hyperpigmentation occurs when melanin, the substance that gives skin its colour is overproduced. Melanin performs a crucial role in shielding the skin from the sun's UV rays but overproduction can cause freckling and a high risk of malignant melanoma. Whether brought on by hormonal fluctuations, sun exposure, acne, or other causes hyperpigmentation is a treatable condition.
Worried about how to get rid of hyperpigmentation? Worry not! There are a number of treatments available that can help lessen and remove hyperpigmentation, encouraging brighter and more even-toned skin.
Topical Skin Lighteners: Hyperpigmentation is typically treated with topical skin lightening treatments including hydroquinone, kojic acid, and azelaic acid. By preventing the skin's melanin from being overproduced, these substances lessen the visibility of dark spots and patches. For the right prescription and usage advice, speak with a dermatologist right away.
Microdermabrasion: Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive process that exfoliates the top layer of skin using a portable instrument. This procedure encourages cell turnover while gently exfoliating dead skin cells to improve skin texture and lessen hyperpigmentation. For best results, several sessions could be necessary.
Chemical Peels: A chemical solution is a skin peeling treatment to encourage exfoliation and the removal of the top layers. By encouraging the creation of fresh, equally pigmented skin cells, this procedure aids in the reduction of hyperpigmentation. Treatments for mild to severe hyperpigmentation may include superficial or medium-depth peels with chemicals like glycolic acid or salicylic acid.
Laser therapy: For more severe or stubborn cases of hyperpigmentation, laser therapy is a common therapeutic option. Different laser technologies, such as Q-switched lasers or fractional lasers, target and remove too much pigment from the skin. The discoloration then gradually fades thanks to the body's natural healing mechanism, revealing brighter skin. A skilled expert should administer laser therapy.
Sun Protection: Sun protection is essential for decreasing and avoiding hyperpigmentation. It is crucial to protect the skin from damaging UV radiation because sun exposure can worsen hyperpigmentation. Wear covered clothing, use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with a high SPF, and stay away from the sun as much as possible during peak hours. Regular sun protection helps prevent additional darkening of hyperpigmented areas and improves the efficacy of other therapies.
VLCC offers different treatments for skin pigmentation and hyperpigmentation depending on whether it has been caused by sun exposure, inflammation, injury, or genetics including chemical peels.
