Positive Ageing

There are several different causes of skin hyperpigmentation that can lead to unsightly patches on the face and body.

 

Sun damage hyperpigmentation

There is no such thing as a healthy tan! A suntan may be cosmetically desirable but it is actually a sign that the skin tried to protect itself against damaging sun rays.

Post Inflammatory hyperpigmentation

Acne, site of a healed wound.

Melasma Hyperpigmentation

Internal body triggers (menopause, contraceptives, drugs, pregnancy). Daily skincare products used by you are reviewed in clinic and medical grade skincare advice is given to treat the condition after a skin scan analysis using the OBSERV.

Prescriptions may be suitable or clinic only based treatments may be recommended, including chemical peels such as Obagi Blue Peel RADIANCE® and skin boosters that lighten the skin. There are excellent non-prescription medical grade skincare brands, like Skin Better Science which are less effective for hyperpigmentation but can also lighten and brighten the complexion.

Hormone management can be crucial as hyperpigmentation is often caused by hormonal changes in female patients.

Topical skincare plays a crucial role in successfully treating and reversing the signs of sun damage.
