Pigmentation treatment targets melanin production and distribution through multiple pathways.

Chemical peels accelerate melanocyte turnover, bringing pigmented cells to the surface for removal.

Tyrosinase inhibitors like kojic acid, 4-nb and arbutin prevent new melanin formation, while vitamin C provides antioxidant protection against oxidative triggers.

This comprehensive approach addresses both existing pigmentation and prevents new formation.

Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, solar lentigines (age spots), and mild melasma respond well to professional treatment.

The key is distinguishing between epidermal and dermal pigmentation - epidermal pigmentation typically responds faster and more completely.

It is possible for pigmentation to look slightly darker in the short term after a professional peel.

This is a normal part of the skin’s renewal process as pigmented cells are brought closer to the surface before they shed. 

The effect is temporary, and with consistent aftercare including antioxidants, brightening products, retinal, and daily SPF, skin tone generally becomes more even over time.

Sun protection is critical for treatment success and preventing new pigmentation formation.

UV exposure during treatment can trigger rebound hyperpigmentation and reverse treatment progress.

We recommend broad-spectrum SPF 50+ daily, reapplication regularly, and protective clothing.

Treatment timing often considers seasonal UV levels for optimal results.

We recommend waiting 24 hours before applying makeup to allow products to fully absorb and skin to settle.
