If you find yourself bothered by dark spots or patches on your skin, you have treatment options. Hyperpigmentation happens when skin cells produce too much pigment. You can treat your hyperpigmentation with several methods depending on your skin type and individual needs.
A variety of triggers can cause patches of skin cells to produce excessive amounts of a pigment called melanin. While patches of hyperpigmentation are usually harmless, they can make you self-conscious. People of all skin tones can develop hyperpigmentation.
*individual results may vary.
Hyperpigmentation can result from sun exposure. UV radiation triggers cells to produce melanin. This can cause you to develop a tan, but it can also cause long-lasting dark patches of skin on sun-exposed areas like the face and hands. This is the most preventable form of hyperpigmentation.
Hormones can also trigger excess melanin production. Birth control or pregnancy can cause hormonal changes that produce hyperpigmentation called melasma. This will often but not always fade after pregnancy. Hyperpigmentation also occurs as a result of inflammation. A post-inflammatory reaction causes the skin to produce a dark spot in response to inflammation such as acne.
We offer several effective methods of hyperpigmentation treatment and dark spot removal. The best treatment for you will depend on your expert provider’s assessment of your hyperpigmentation concerns.
This treatment uses wavelengths of intense pulsed light (IPL) that targets areas of pigmentation without affecting the surrounding skin. The energy from the pulsed light breaks up pigment molecules so the body can remove them.
Manhattan Aesthetics offers chemical peels that remove the outer layers of skin and trigger skin renewal. With a series of three to four peels, you can see fading of recent and older hyperpigmentation spots.
This non-invasive laser treatment uses pulses lasting only a billionth of a second to trigger the intensive collagen production and skin rejuvenation. The laser energy does not harm the surrounding skin, making it a safe and painless way to treat severe hyperpigmentation such as melasma or rosacea.
This laser targets brown, red, blue, and purple pigmentation to address spider veins, melasma, and rosacea. Many people report that each pulse feels like the snap of a rubber band. The targeted pigments will break up and fade away while the surrounding skin remains undamaged.
