What is Hyperpigmentation?

Hyperpigmentation occurs when patches of skin become darker than the surrounding area due to an overproduction of melanin, the pigment responsible for skin color. This condition can manifest in several forms, including sunspots, melasma, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (like acne scars), and age spots. While hyperpigmentation is generally harmless, it can be aesthetically displeasing, leading many to seek treatment to restore a more even skin tone.

What are the Best Treatments Available to Treat Hyperpigmentation and Melasma?

Cosmelan

Cosmelan is a powerful depigmentation treatment designed to reduce dark spots, melasma, and other forms of hyperpigmentation. Using a specialized formula, this treatment helps regulate melanin production, effectively fading existing pigmentation and preventing new spots from forming.

IPL

IPL is a versatile skin treatment that uses broad-spectrum light to target various skin concerns, including sun damage, age spots, redness, and fine lines. By penetrating deep into the skin, IPL stimulates collagen production and breaks down unwanted pigment, leaving you with a clearer, more youthful complexion.

Chemical Peels

Chemical peels offer a highly effective way to rejuvenate the skin by removing its outer layers to reveal a smoother, more radiant surface. By promoting cell turnover and stimulating collagen production, chemical peels leave your skin feeling refreshed and renewed, with results that continue to improve.

Microneedling

Microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment that stimulates your skin’s natural healing process to improve texture, tone, and overall appearance. This procedure uses tiny needles to create micro-injuries that trigger collagen and elastin production, helping promote a refreshed, youthful look with minimal downtime.

Erbium Laser Peel

The Erbium Laser Peel is a precise, advanced skin resurfacing treatment designed to address fine lines, wrinkles, and surface imperfections. By removing the outermost layers of damaged skin, this laser peel encourages the growth of new, healthy skin cells while stimulating collagen production.

What are the Benefits of Hyperpigmentation Treatment?

Treating hyperpigmentation can bring a host of benefits that go beyond just lightening dark spots:

Even skin tone

Anti-aging effects

Enhanced skin texture

Boosted confidence

Prevention of future pigmentation

What to expect

How Often Should I Have Hyperpigmentation Treated?

The frequency of hyperpigmentation treatment varies based on the method used and the severity of your condition. Laser treatments are typically performed in a series, with sessions about 4 to 6 weeks apart. You may require 3 to 6 sessions to achieve optimal results, depending on your needs.

Chemical peels can also be done every 4 to 6 weeks, with the frequency depending on the type and strength of the peel. At Keller Aesthetics, Travis Keller will develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific skin type and the extent of your hyperpigmentation.
What are the Side Effects of Hyperpigmentation Treatment?
While hyperpigmentation treatments are generally safe and effective, they can come with some side effects. These may vary depending on the type of treatment and your skin type:
- Some treatments can cause temporary redness, swelling, and irritation.
- As the skin heals, you might experience peeling or flaking.
- Skin may become more sensitive to the sun after treatment.
- Skin may darken before it lightens. This is a normal part of the healing process.
How Should I Care for My Skin Following Hyperpigmentation Treatment?
Post-treatment care is crucial for achieving the best results and avoiding complications:
1. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 and avoid direct sun exposure as much as possible.
2. Keep your skin well-hydrated to soothe any irritation and support healing.
3. Avoid using harsh exfoliants or irritating skincare products immediately after treatment.
4. Stick to gentle cleansers and moisturizers recommended by your skincare professional.
