What Treatments and Products are Available for Hyperpigmentation?

Many people struggle with persisting melasma and other forms of hyperpigmentation daily. While it may not be dangerous to your life, it can be frustrating to deal with daily. Twin Ports Dermatology provides clinical and at-home treatments for melasma and other hyperpigmentation to boost your self-esteem and brighten your life. 

What causes Hyperpigmentation?

Hyperpigmentation is caused by increased melanin production in small patches, large areas, or across the entire body. They can sometimes disappear on their own, but for many people, they persist. Types of hyperpigmentation include:

  • Melasma (caused by hormonal changes).
  • Sunspots (from excess sun exposure).
  • Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (often caused by acne).

Other causes of hyperpigmentation can be hormone fluctuations from pregnancy and certain medications such as chemotherapy drugs.

What Treatments and Products Treat Hyperpigmentation?

Treatments for hyperpigmentation vary depending on the extent of your symptoms. Serums and products that include vitamin C, hydroquinone, kojic acid, soy, and azelaic acid are known to improve hyperpigmentation. Dermatological procedures such as laser treatments and chemical peels are also effective. Treatments and products provided by Twin Ports Dermatology include:

SRA Intense Light Treatment

Skin Rejuvenation Advanced Intense Light Treatment combines light wavelengths and RF energy to break down hyperpigmentation while boosting collagen production. In 30-45 minute sessions, SRA Intense Light Treatments provide smoother, younger-looking skin.

Chemical Peels

The TPD Brightening Peel targets hyperpigmentation and reduces fine lines and wrinkles. The combination with non-acidic ingredients does not burn, wound, or injure the skin while treating mild to moderate dark skin discoloration. After the peel, you’ll also receive an Optimal Skin Advanced Brightening Cream for at-home use.

Brightening Wash

This multi-functioning foaming skin cleanser manages discoloration through a once-a-day application. Made of salicylic, mandelic, and malic hydroxy acids, the cleanser is gentle and effective against skin discoloration.
