Microneedling

Microneedling’s ability to regenerate skin cells makes it an effective treatment for all concerns related to skin pigmentation. Microneedling involves the creation of tiny channels through the skin’s layers with tiny sterile pins. These “micro-injuries” stimulate collagen and elastin production and activate the body’s natural healing mechanism to repair and rejuvenate the skin and improve skin-related concerns such as hyperpigmentation, fine lines, wrinkles, scarring, enlarged pores, acne scarring, and skin laxity.

Microneedling is an ideal skin pigmentation treatment for patients of color, as the new skin cells created as a result of microneedling match your normal skin tone. Treatment is fast and effective and involves minimal risks and side effects.

Morpheus8

Morpheus8 combines microneedling with fractionated radiofrequency energy treatment to promote healing and create new skin cells. The addition of radiofrequency energy to the microneedling process allows for faster and more significant results than microneedling alone.

Morpheus8 can treat hyperpigmentation or other skin tone-related issues, skin laxity, acne scarring, stretch marks, textural concerns, and scarring in short treatments. Most patients achieve optimal results with just one to three sessions.

PRF

PRF (platelet-rich fibrin) therapy with microneedling uses your own platelets and growth factors to repair the skin and even skin tone. Studies indicate that PRF is an effective treatment for melasma that has been resistant to other pigmentation-correcting therapies.

Chemical peels

Chemical peels use specially-formulated chemical solutions to remove the outer layer of skin. As healing takes place, damaged cells are replaced with new ones of uniform pigmentation. Since chemical peels remove the epidermis, it is important to protect skin treated with this method from sun exposure as it will be more susceptible to damage (and related pigmentation problems).

Hydrafacial

Hydrafacial is a completely non-invasive yet effective treatment that washes away dead skin cells and other debris from pores and the skin’s surface to reveal brighter, newer skin. This treatment also infuses the skin with skin-brightening nutrients and hydration for an improved overall appearance. The Hydrafacial is safe and effective for all skin tones, offers immediate results, and is extremely well-tolerated.

There is no recovery or downtime associated with the Hydrafacial, so you can return to your day with a bright, glowing complexion as soon as your treatment is finished.

Skin resurfacing laser treatment

Like chemical peels, laser skin resurfacing removes the outermost layer of skin to promote healing and reveal new, brighter, more even skin. Laser skin resurfacing also reduces the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and scarring effectively. Depending on the depth of your laser skin resurfacing treatment, healing can take anywhere between ten to 21 days.

IPL

IPL, or intense pulsed light therapy, stimulates collagen production deep within the skin using skin-penetrating high-energy light pulses. As these light pulses reach the skin’s underlying layers where melanin is produced, the particles that create dark spots are destroyed to create a brighter and more even complexion. IPL also smooths fine lines and wrinkles and plumps the skin. IPL also involves less recovery than traditional laser resurfacing treatments.
