Acne spots and acne scars can further damage the skin permanently and Anti-Blemish treatments are the only way to cure these problems effectively. In conditions such as Melasma, exposure to the sun also leads to severe skin tanning and darken areas that are already hyper pigmented. Skin diseases such as Acne can also cause dark spots on the affected areas even after the acne clears. At Derma Grace, our Dermatologists specialize in preparing professional-grade treatments customized for your skin.

1. Chemical peel: A chemical peel uses acids in strong concentrations to treat the affected area of skin. Peels work by removing the epidermis which reduces the appearance of hyperpigmentation.
2. Laser Treatment: Laser treatment can reduce hyperpigmentation by using targeted beams of light to the affected area and removing layers of your skin that promotes collagen growth and tightening effects. Laser therapy involves destroying elements in your skin to ensure that new skin cells grow back tighter and more toned.
3. Microdermabrasion: Microdermabrasion is used to treat hyperpigmentation where a drill-like handheld tool with a wire brush or other abrasive attachment. The tool is then swiped across your skin to rapidly — but gently — to remove the epidermis. You may need multiple sessions to achieve your ideal result.

Most treatments are completely painless but patients do experience mild discomfort as treatments do tend to cause an irritation as the skin around the acne affected area is already inflamed. If you’re out in the sun on a regular basis, some treatments may not be the best treatment option for you. Chemical peels cause your skin to be more sensitive to the sun’s rays. Treatments such as this require a combination of treatments. This is where the role of a skilled Dermatologist comes into play. Our licensed dermatologists understand the treatment requirements and prepare customized treatment plans to tackle acne and ensure effective results.

If you are suffering from diabetes, it may be difficult to carry out a treatment for dark spots and hyperpigmentation. If you have been consuming medicines for other conditions, this information needs be conveyed to the dermatologist. Before getting the treatment started, our dermatologist may recommend some topical solutions. 

The recovery and skin toning process begin within 7-10 days and our dermatologist may recommend some medication to ease the discomfort you may be feeling. Some patients may experience mild irritation or swelling. It is advisable to avoid direct exposure to sunlight for a couple of weeks after the treatment.
