Discoloration and pigmentation will not go away on its own.
Some discoloring caused by acne may lighten up over a few months, sure, but the majority of it needs to be treated.
Here are some suggestions to treat those dark spots.
For Minimal Darkness
If your pigmentation isn’t anything severe, microdermabrasion is for you.
This is an instrument that gently sands the uppermost layer of your skin for superficial blemishes like sunspots.
Microdermabrasion is beneficial in lightening dark spots, reducing acne scarring and softening fine lines and wrinkles.
In order to provide the best results, Cultura offers three different crystal-free microdermabrasion machines: DiamondTome, HydraFacial® and Vibraderm.
For Stubborn Spots
Chemical peels as well as salicylic acid and glycolic acid will erase that pesky discoloration.
Chemical peels are a much stronger version of facials and provide an excellent way for patients to improve complexion and texture and problem skin by strongly stimulating the turnover of skin cells.
While most medical practices will tell you that not all skin color is suitable for these kind of peels, Cultura offers peels that are safe for all skin types.
These types of peels include:
- Cultura Illuminize Peel (Sensitive Skin)
- Cultura Acne Peel
- Cultura Vitalize Peel (Complexion Blending)
- Cultura Ultimate Revitalize Peel
- Cultura Hydroquinone Melanage Peel
- Cultura Body Peels
For Discoloration From the Sun
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) is commonly used for targeting heavy discoloration from the sun.
The light-based energy being projected at your skin will leave the treated area dark but will ultimately flake off in a few days.
Most of Cultura’s lasers, including our IPL, are non-invasive and require Washington DC patients to return for three to six monthly treatments.
For Severe Discoloration
For patients who want a slightly more aggressive approach and don’t mind experiencing redness for a few days, Cultura offers minimally invasive laser treatments such as the CO2 or Cutera Pearl, which require only one or two treatments to achieve the desired results.
Cultura has over 10 lasers that can safely be used on darker skin including fractional, Fraxel, Cutera Genesis, Candela GentleYAG, Cynosure Affirm, Cooltouch, Syneron EMatrix, Diolite.
