In-Office Hyperpigmentation Treatments
If you're doing everything mentioned and still are having trouble fighting stubborn discoloration an in-office procedure to consider is IPL. "It has been newly upgraded with advanced features and works better than ever because it goes deep, requiring fewer treatments," says Dr. Gross. "It works by targeting the pigmented areas with light, breaking them up." Most patients need a series of two or three treatments and, depending on the selected course of treatment, downtime can vary from two to five days which can be customized to fit your schedule. That said, Dr. Gross underlines that not all skin types are good candidates for this laser since people with darker skin tones may darken their spots as a result of the laser treatment.
