  • Freckles: These are small, flat, brown spots, often brought on by sun exposure.
  • Acne scars: The annoying remnants of your acne days.
  • Melasma: Dark patches typically brought on by hormonal shifts like pregnancy.
  • Eczema: Skin that becomes red, inflamed, and can darken over time.
  • Psoriasis: Identified by reddish patches with white scales commonly found on elbows, knees, or the scalp.

HOW CAN YOU MAINTAIN A CLEAR COMPLEXION AFTER HYPERPIGMENTATION TREATMENT?

After hyperpigmentation treatment, it’s crucial to maintain a clear complexion to get lasting results. Hyperpigmentation can be a ongoing issue, triggered by sun exposure, inflammation or hormonal changes. Dr. Rivera says consistent proactive care is the key to keeping your skin in top shape. Here’s what he recommends:

  • Daily Use of High-SPF Sunscreen: Sunscreen is key to preventing pigmentation from coming back. Broad-spectrum sunscreens with at least SPF 30 protects against UVA and UVB rays, which is one of the main cause of hyperpigmentation. Apply every morning, even on cloudy days and reapply every 2 hours when outdoors to maintain full protection.
  • Targeted Skincare Routine: Use products that support your skin’s renewal and repair process. Dr. Rivera recommends using gentle exfoliants with AHAs or BHAs to remove dead skin cells and allow brighter skin to come through. Moisturizers with hyaluronic acid or ceramides to keep the skin barrier healthy and hydrated and toners with soothing properties to reduce inflammation which can worsen pigmentation.
  • Antioxidant-Rich Diet: Eat foods high in antioxidants like berries, leafy greens, nuts and seeds to improve your skin’s resilience to environmental stressors. Antioxidants like vitamins C and E fights oxidative stress and free radical damage which can cause pigmentation. Include these in your diet to strengthen your skin’s defense from the inside out.
  • Regular Dermatology Check-Ups: Follow up with Dr. Rivera or a skincare professional to ensure your treatment is working over time. Skin changes and skin needs can evolve and regular visits allow for adjustments in your regimen whether through in-office treatments like chemical peels or updates to your at-home routine. These check-ups is an opportunity to monitor any emerging pigmentation concerns and address them early.

With sun protection, effective skincare, a healthy diet and professional guidance you can have a glowing and even complexion and prevent hyperpigmentation from coming back.
