WHAT SHOULD YOU KNOW ABOUT DIFFERENT TYPES OF SKIN PIGMENTATION?

If you're yearning for a guide to decode the complex world of skin pigmentation, you're in the right place. Knowing what you're up against is your first step to victory. Here's a rundown of common pigmentation issues:

• 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.

WHAT TREATMENT OPTIONS ARE AVAILABLE FOR SKIN PIGMENTATION?

At GLANZ Aesthetics, Dr. Rivera offers personalized treatments tailored to your pigmentation issue. One standout is the Harmony XL PRO laser hyperpigmentation treatment. This cutting-edge technology zones in on the melanin in problematic areas, breaking it down so your body can naturally remove it.

HOW MANY LASER TREATMENTS WILL YOU NEED FOR SKIN PIGMENTATION?

The number of treatments needed can vary widely depending on the type and severity of your skin pigmentation issues. Some conditions, like minor freckling, may significantly improve after one or two laser sessions. On the other hand, most stubborn matters like melasma or deep acne scars often require multiple treatments spaced several weeks apart for optimal results. Dr. Rivera will work with you to develop a personalized treatment plan, giving you a clearer idea of the time commitment. Don't forget the regular pit stops — follow-up appointments to fine-tune your skin journey.

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.
