Pigmentation Removal, Causes, Symptoms, and Treatment
One of the most common misconceptions about pigmentation and discoloured skin is that it will fade away by itself and that no treatment, of any kind, is necessary.
Some types of pigmentation, like those caused by acne, can eventually lighten up over time.
keep in mind this does not happen overnight, but can take a few months, if not longer before you see a difference.
But, the majority of discolouration needs to be treated with high-powered active ingredients and in-office treatments to fully eradicate spots on the surface. Not sure what to get done to vanish your spots once and for all.
Try Microdermabrasion:
During a microdermabrasion treatment, the uppermost layer of skin is gently removed to get rid of sunspots, darkness and other types of superficial and minimal discolouration.
There are some versions of microdermabrasion, like that offer a secondary step where specialized anti-pigment ingredients are infused into the skin to further brighten it.
Try a Chemical Peel:
Salicylic acid, glycolic acid and TCA chemical peels are often recommended to vanish discolouration. Chemical peels are powerful at speeding up results and removing deeper pigment.
Their potency can be manipulated to suit the type and depth of pigment. However, not every skin colour is suitable for a peel, and if you have a history of scarring, you may want to find another option.
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL):
A popular choice for targeting sun-induced discolouration, IPL involves light-based energy pulsed onto the skin while simultaneously targeting blood vessels. The light seeks out the discolouration in the skin to lift it up and out.
Expect for the treated areas to turn dark and flake off in a few days. We sometimes do an IPL treatment following two laser treatments to really clean up the skin.
Fractional Laser Resurfacing:
The most intense option available, fractional laser resurfacing treatments work wonders at erasing more stubborn pigmentation.
Lasers like Fraxel, Halo and Clear + Brilliant, among others, create safe and controlled micro-injuries in the skin to stimulate the skin’s natural healing process.
As a result, discolouration is diminished as new, fresh skin comes to the surface.

After treatments, patients typically experience temporary discolouration or reddening of the skin around the treatment site. Make-up can be applied immediately after treatment.
