Hyperpigmentation

Here are some treatment options for clients looking for melasma solutions:

- Our Gold Standard for treating melasma and hyperpigmentation is Cosmelan  ® peels.  Cosmelan chemical peel decreases the skin's natural melanin production by inhibiting certain enzymes, providing an even complexion.  The Cosmelan peel is a professional-grade mask that is later removed at home by the patient several hours later. It will produce an initial 'peeling' of the skin, which will leave the skin smooth and dramatically decrease the signs of facial pigmentation, lightening discolored areas.

- Microdermabrasion. Monthly treatments of micro, complete with daily sunscreen and at home products.

- Hydrafacial with brightening booster. We recommend once a week for three weeks.

- Microneedling - SkinPen with mesoestetic depigmentation solution. Also available by injection into the pigmented lesions.

Topical prescription available for the treatment of melasma. AZELAIC 15,HYDROQUINONE 8,KOJIC 4,TRETINOIN 0.1%

Prevent melasma by staying on top of treatments. Since there is a genetic tendency and it can be triggered by hormone changes, it can come back. It is important to use sun protection every day. Be informed about lasers, heat, as well as over the counter products as some treatments can worsen the appearance of melasma.
