The Road to Clear Skin
We all strive for bright, glowing, radiant skin, but unfortunately many of us battle some level of hyperpigmentation or dark spots. It is not a skin type, rather a common condition brought on by many factors ranging from medications to sun exposure to hormonal changes and acne or trauma.
What is Hyperpigmentation?
Simply put, it is excessive stimulation of melanin in the skin that results in uneven, darkened skin tone. Acne, aging, sun damage, hormonal changes, and pregnancy are the most common causes.
There are two main types of hyperpigmentation. Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation occurs following skin injury e.g. from acne lesions or laser burns. Also one of the most common causes is UV damage from sunlight. UV rays stimulate melanocyte activity resulting in the skin producing excess melanin.
How do you get rid of it?
At SKYN Clinic & Apothecary™, we have created a Hyperpigmentation Program to help erase all signs of hyperpigmentation from your skin – on any area of your body! This 90 day program incorporates facials, peels, and post-peel treatments to rid your skin of dark spots and blemishes.
How it works:
It works by calming down the hyperactive pigment producing cells (melanocytes), bringing them back to their normal level. This equalizes melanin production in-line with the surrounding skin cells, eliminating the color difference and giving the skin a more even tone overall. It also lightens and removes dark spots from beneath the surface of the skin.
The Results
Following the treatment program, clients can expect a more even skin tone, with discolorations significantly lightened, improved texture, smooth fine lines, and clearer more radiant skin!
