Though harmless, hyperpigmentation can cause a lot of stress. This term encompasses several aesthetic concerns like aging signs, sun damage, and an uneven complexion. Developing an uneven skin tone with age spots, liver spots, and dark spots happens as people get older and incur sun damage. After a certain age, the appearance of darker skin, age spots, and blemishes can become more common. 

If you’ve noticed an excessive amount of these issues and are looking for an effective solution, you’ve come to the right place. At SkinMD, we have a variety of treatment options for you to explore with our clinical staff. 

• PICO Genesis
• Laser for Skin Resurfacing
• IPL PhotoFacial
• Chemical Peels
• DiamondGlow

How Does Hyperpigmentation Occur?

Pigmentation issues occur when melanocytes begin to produce too much pigment in our skin. Having too much pigment causes skin issues such as spots or patches. These spots can appear just about anywhere, even on darker skin tones. Hyperpigmentation from acne is also common in younger people and can have a big impact on a person’s self-esteem. The best thing you can do for your skin is to apply sunblock regularly, as chronic sun exposure is one of the most common causes. However, if you already have pigmentation issues, our treatments at SkinMD can help.

What Are the Signs?

The most common signs of hyperpigmentation and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation are an uneven skin tone and dark patches. This can present itself in the form of white, brown, or black patches on the face or body. Discoloration from acne can often be accompanied by pimples and scarring that could give your skin a bumpy texture. Aging signs such as wrinkles and fine lines may also develop as your skin loses quality over time.

MEET THE TEAM

Skin MD has a beautiful atmosphere, friendly staff, affordable pricing, and any treatment your skin needs. I received the Venus Legacy treatment (a collagen-boosting treatment) from Shannon and had a wonderful experience. Not only was it like a warm massage for my face, but this treatment gave IMMEDIATE plumping, increased blood circulation, and made my skin glow! I will definitely be coming back for all my skin needs and medical-grade skin care. I recommend it to everyone!

The staff are so welcoming and comforting. They take time to listen to your needs and they do not pressure you into doing anything you don't want to do. They also take time to explain the process and their decision making to you so that you have all the facts.

~ Lauren M.

Friendly, fast, and professional service at the highest quality. Really impressed with the results of their services, and my technician is very knowledgeable and helpful when I have any questions. They made sure I was fully educated on the services I received and perform check-ins to ensure my skin heals properly. Also, the most convenient location in Back Bay!

~ Jules B.

I cannot say enough great things about this SkinMD. The staff was amazing, and their services are amazing. I am so, so happy with how my nose came out, and I am now a lifetime customer of SkinMD and will be recommending SkinMD to everyone I know.

Options for Treating Hyperpigmentation

Laser Treatments

Our enlighten® PICO Genesis or C0Re laser skin resurfacing treatments offer relief from pigmentation issues in as few as 2-3 sessions on average. Most people report a slight warming sensation and pressure from the laser during laser therapy. Many patients do not feel any pain, but some discomfort may be experienced. If you feel uncomfortable, a topical anesthetic can be provided. The best part of this treatment is that no downtime is needed after the procedure and it doesn’t damage the surrounding skin.

IPL Treatment

Photofacials, or IPL (Intense Pulsed Light)  treatments, can offer an alternative therapy for hyperpigmentation as well. By using broad-spectrum light, the treatment can heat and break up pigmentation on the skin.

Chemical Peels

At SkinMD, we also offer chemical peels to help reduce or completely erase any pigmentation on your skin. By using a unique chemical solution (typically involving glycolic acid and salicylic acid), the skin increases cell turnover and allowing new skin cells to replace the damaged ones.

During your consultation, we will explore all options and determine what the recommended treatment protocols are specific to your skin type, texture and tone combined with your personal aesthetic goals.
