Pigmentation Treatment

Pigmentation or Melasma (hyperpigmentation) is the excess production of the skin pigment melanin, appearing as localised patches on the cheeks, bridge of the nose, forehead, chin and upper lip, which are darker than the surrounding skin. The main causes are the hormonal changes in women, acne, ageing, sun damage, pregnancy and genetics inherited in a person. Although pigmentation and melasma may affect both men and women, the majority of those affected are women. The pigmentation treatment options are:

• Nano Carbon Peel with Spectra Lutronic Laser *
• Chemical Peels (TCA Peel, Cosmelan, etc)*
• Fractional CO2 resurfacing laser*

Pigmentation Melasma Treatments description

Hollywood Nano Carbon Peel*

The Hollywood Nano Carbon Peel has been an excellent treatment for pigmentation melasma, a frustrating condition for so many women and men. The patients have noticed immediately that their complexion is glowing, pores are minimized, and they use less make-up to camouflage the pigmented area. The results for melasma, sunspots and pigmentation are becoming much better after each treatment.

The nanopulse Laser Carbon Peel is a gold standard in treating moderate and deep pigmentation.  Laser energy targets gently breaks and ablates the pigment so that the body’s immune system can naturally remove the pigment particles. Patients receiving the pigmentaiton and melasma treatment should always wear sunblock and avoid sun exposure.
