Understanding Hyperpigmentation
Hyperpigmentation is a common skin condition characterized by the darkening of skin areas due to an overproduction of melanin, the pigment responsible for skin and hair color. This excess melanin forms deposits, leading to uneven skin tone and various types of dark spots.
Common forms of hyperpigmentation include:
- Sun Spots (Age Spots/Solar Lentigines): These are typically small, darkened patches that appear on sun-exposed areas like the face, hands, and décolletage, resulting from prolonged UV exposure.
- Melasma: Often appearing as larger, symmetrical patches of brown or grayish-brown discoloration, melasma is frequently triggered by hormonal changes (e.g., pregnancy, birth control, hormone replacement therapy) combined with sun exposure. It's often referred to as the "mask of pregnancy."
- Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH): This occurs after an inflammatory skin condition, such as acne, eczema, psoriasis, or injury, leaves behind a darkened mark as the skin heals.
- Freckles: While often seen as charming, excessive freckles or their darkening can also be addressed.
Understanding the specific type and cause of your hyperpigmentation is crucial for determining the most effective and safe treatment approach, especially for diverse Filipino skin types.
Our Advanced Hyperpigmentation Solutions
leven11 Medspa offers a curated selection of advanced hyperpigmentation treatments, each chosen for its proven ability to target and reduce dark spots, revealing a brighter and more even complexion. Our solutions are tailored to address various types and severities of hyperpigmentation, prioritizing safety and efficacy for all skin tones.
- Laser Therapy (e.g., IPL/Photofacial):
- Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) / Photofacial: IPL uses broad-spectrum light to target melanin in the skin, effectively reducing sun spots, freckles, and general uneven skin tone. It also offers the added benefit of improving overall skin texture and redness.
- Chemical Peels: Our medical-grade chemical peels use specialized acidic solutions to gently exfoliate the outer layers of the skin. This process promotes rapid cell turnover, effectively shedding pigmented cells and revealing a fresh, brighter, and more even-toned complexion underneath. We offer various strengths and types tailored to your skin's needs.
- Microneedling with Growth Factors/PRP: This innovative treatment creates microscopic channels in the skin, stimulating the body's natural healing and collagen production. When combined with serums containing potent growth factors or Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) derived from your own blood, it accelerates skin regeneration, helps to break down melanin clusters, and improves skin texture alongside pigmentation.
During your personalized consultation, our experienced specialists will accurately diagnose your skin condition and recommend the most suitable single treatment or combination therapy to effectively achieve your aesthetic goals.
