​Become A More Remarkable You with Beautiful Evened Skin

​Pigmentation meaning and its causes Skin discoloration is one of the predominant skin complaints of our patients. Most beauty enthusiasts define beauty as symmetrical, so having an even skin tone is the central focus to enhance one’s appearance and reduce the look of aging.

Pigmentation, melasma, and hyperpigmentation are defined by increased levels of melanin in the skin which can be caused by hormonal changes, sun exposure, genetics, disease, injury, or inflammation.
Men and women who are at risk for unsightly pigmentation are those who do not protect their skin from sun damage, those who take birth control or other hormone drugs, those who take part in activities that bruise or injure the skin, or those who are predisposed to the condition.

Blotches and dark spots can take one to two decades to appear so protecting your skin should start as a child. If you suffer from skin pigmentation issues like rosacea, liver spots (lentigines), acne, freckles and more, there is treatment that can reduce these blemishes, restoring your youthful skin tone.
How to remove skin pigmentation The first line of pigmentation treatment offered at Ogden Skin Care Center is educating our patients on keeping a healthy skin regiment. This includes protecting the skin with proper sunscreen and avoiding excess sun exposure. While this will not reduce dark spots and pigmentation, it will stop the problem from getting worse. The next step is the use of steroid or bleaching creams. Retinoids and hydroquinones are often prescribed to chemically degrade the production of melanin.
If the problem persists or is not likely to bring about the desired results, chemical peels, laser skin pigmentation removal by IPL + RF technologies (intense pulsed light + radio frequency), and laser resurfacing are the final lines of defense effective in rosacea treatment, acne scar removal, age spots treatment, liver spot treatment and more.
