Hyperpigmentation and Melasma Treatment | Contour You

Hyperpigmentation and melasma are common skin conditions characterized by darkened patches on the skin. While they share similarities, melasma is often triggered by hormonal changes and is more prevalent in women, especially during pregnancy. Hyperpigmentation, on the other hand, can occur in anyone and is usually a response to factors like sun exposure, injury, or inflammation.

Both conditions can significantly impact one’s appearance and self-esteem, making effective treatment crucial. The skin’s appearance can vary widely, with patches ranging from light brown to deep black, often becoming more pronounced with sun exposure.

What Causes Hyperpigmentation & Melasma?

The causes of hyperpigmentation and/or melasma are generally from excessive sun exposure, injury, or significant changes in hormones. While there are only a few causes, the condition is still prevalent in the general population, particularly in cases of excessive sun exposure.

Sun Exposure

Excessive exposure to the sun’s UV rays is a primary cause of both hyperpigmentation and Melasma. The skin reacts by producing more melanin, leading to darkened patches. Prolonged sun exposure without proper protection can exacerbate the condition, making sunscreens and protective clothing essential.

Hormonal Changes

Hormonal fluctuations, particularly during pregnancy or when using oral contraceptives, can trigger Melasma. This is why it is sometimes referred to as the “mask of pregnancy.” Additionally, hormone-related disorders like thyroid dysfunction can also contribute to these skin conditions.

Skin Injury

Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation occurs when an injury or inflammation to the skin causes increased pigment production. This includes acne scars, burns, and cuts. Even minor skin injuries can result in lasting hyperpigmentation, particularly in darker skin tones.

Treatment Options

While there are only a few causes of hyperpigmentation, there is an abundance of treatments that a patient can undergo in order to rid themselves of this concern, ranging from chemical peels to microneedling treatments. Regardless of your condition, we are confident we can find the perfect treatment for your needs.

Our Services

SYLFIRM X

Learn More

Sylfirm X is a revolutionary treatment that targets both superficial and deep pigmentation. It works by delivering controlled radiofrequency energy and microneedling to the affected areas, effectively reducing pigmentation while promoting skin rejuvenation. This method is particularly effective in treating stubborn pigmentation that does not respond to topical treatments.

CHEMICAL PEELS

Learn More

Chemical peels involve applying a solution to the skin, which causes the top layers to peel off. This process removes pigmented cells, revealing fresher, lighter skin underneath. It’s effective for surface-level pigmentation and also helps in reducing fine lines and minor skin irregularities.

HALO

Learn More

Halo is a hybrid fractional laser treatment that addresses skin pigmentation by combining ablative and non-ablative wavelengths. It effectively treats the skin’s surface and deeper layers for comprehensive results. Halo also enhances skin luminosity and smoothness, making it a popular choice for overall skin rejuvenation.

SkinPen

Learn More

SkinPen is a microneedling device that stimulates the skin’s natural healing process. By creating micro-injuries that are not noticeable to the naked eye, the body encourages cell turnover, helping to fade pigmentation and improve overall skin texture. Additionally, this treatment boosts collagen production, leading to firmer and more youthful-looking skin.

BBL FOREVER YOUNG

Learn More

BBL Forever Young is an innovative light therapy that targets the deeper layers of the skin. It stimulates new cell growth and rejuvenates the skin, effectively reducing the appearance of hypopigmentation. This noninvasive treatment promotes a more even skin tone with minimal discomfort and downtime.
