In conditions such as Melasma, exposure to the sun also leads to severe skin tanning and darken areas that are already hyperpigmented. Skin diseases such as Acne can also cause dark spots on the affected areas even after the acne clears. Pregnancy can also trigger the overproduction of melanin that causes darkened skin on the face, abdomen, and other areas. 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.

If you’re out in the sun on a regular basis, chemical peels may not be the best treatment option for you. Chemical peels cause your skin to be more sensitive to the sun’s rays. 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. This is where the role of skilled Dermatologists 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 skin brightening. If you have been consuming medicines for other conditions, these information needs to be conveyed to the dermatologist. Before getting the treatment started, our dermatologist may recommend some topical solutions. 

The healing process begins 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.
