BROWN SPOTS AND HYPERPIGMENTATION

Melasma manifests as dark brown patches primarily due to hormonal fluctuations, often affecting women. These patches typically occur on the central areas of the face, though they can also emerge around the temples. The most effective approach for treatment often involves a blend of therapies, including the application of Retinols, skin lighteners, and antioxidants.
TREATMENT OPTIONS
​​​
-
It is essential to avoid sun exposure, as the sun can aggravate melasma and lead to its recurrence.
-
For some individuals, topical treatments like hydroquinone combined with retinol can be effective. Hydroquinone helps lighten the skin, with noticeable improvements typically seen after about six weeks, while retinol promotes skin cell turnover. Additionally, there are newer, gentler options for skin lightening with fewer side effects, and antioxidants may also be beneficial.
-
Chemical peels, such as the Melanage peel system, offer significant benefits and are generally well-tolerated across different skin types.
-
Innovative treatments like Lumeca, utilizing intense pulsed light therapy, show promise in targeting pigmented areas with fewer treatment sessions.
-
While traditional laser therapies for melasma remain contentious, Pico lasers provide a safer alternative. Operating on a picosecond pulse, these lasers minimize heat buildup, reducing the risk of irritating melanocytes compared to nanosecond lasers.
BEFORE AND AFTERS
ANSWERING YOUR QUESTIONS
What is an aesthetic skin peel and how does it work?
A chemical peel, also known as an aesthetic skin peel, is a non-invasive cosmetic treatment designed to enhance the skin's appearance and texture. This procedure involves applying a chemical solution to the skin that exfoliates the upper layers and encourages the development of new, smoother, and healthier skin.
​
Are aesthetic peels safe?
Yes, aesthetic peels are generally safe when performed by an experienced professional. It's important, however, to schedule a consultation with a provider to assess your skin type and needs prior to receiving a skin peel.
​
What skin concerns can be corrected with aesthetic peels?
Aesthetic skin peels are effective for addressing a range of issues such as acne scars, sun damage, fine lines, wrinkles, uneven skin tone, and texture irregularities.
​
How long does the procedure take and how long is the downtime after?
The length of the procedure varies depending on the type and strength of the peel. Superficial peels may only take 30 minutes to a hour, while deeper peels require more time. Mild peels require minimal to no downtime, while stronger peels may entail a recovery period of a few days to a week.
​
How many peels do I need to get before seeing results?
The number of treatments required differs based on individual skin issues. Sometimes, a single peel can deliver significant improvements, but in other instances multiple sessions might be necessary to reach the desired results.
​
Are skin peels painful?
During the procedure, you might feel a slight tingling or burning sensation, which is typically manageable. Post-peel, it's common to experience some redness and peeling, but any discomfort should be minimal and easily controlled.
​
Can skin peels cause scaring?
When conducted by a trained professional, the likelihood of scarring is minimal. It is essential, however, to follow the care instructions after the procedure to reduce the risk of any complications.
​
Can you combine skin peels with other treatments?
Yes, skin peels are frequently integrated with other aesthetic procedures like dermal fillers or Botox to create a personalized skin rejuvenation strategy. Your experienced provider can recommend the most suitable combination tailored to your individual skincare needs.
​
Do skin peels work on all skin types and tones?
Skin peels can be tailored to suit any skin type and tone, but it is crucial to consult with one of our professionals to identify the most effective approach for your unique skin and condition.
