What Products Are Best For Treating Hyperpigmentation?

Keep reading to learn more about what products are best for treating hyperpigmentation. Here at Serenity Aesthetics & Wellness, Hyperpigmentation is a very common concern amongst clients that visit our office. We have been able to successfully correct numerous cases of the condition with a combination of consistent and effective home care and in office treatment. While some cases of hyperpigmentation take more time to correct than others, we offer a wide variety of products that are sure to help improve your stubborn hyperpigmentation.

The Importance of Medical Grade Skincare

People often question the significance of making the switch from over the counter, drug store skincare products to medical grade skincare products. Medical grade skincare products contain higher concentrations of active ingredients than what can be purchased over the counter. In addition, the quality of the ingredients and clinical testing involved in formulating medical grade skincare products is more thorough than most corrective products sold over the counter. Using medical grade skincare products in conjunction with in office treatment is proven to be more effective at enhancing results than having a skincare routine with over the counter correctives.

Should My Entire Routine Consist of Only Medical Grade Skincare Products?

In this economy, a lot of people are looking to save money where they can. While we believe that investing in medical grade skincare products pays off in the long run, some people simply cannot afford to do that on top of paying for in office treatment. It is not essential to have an at home skincare routine completely made up of medical grade skincare products. However, we believe that a client’s accessory products should be medical grade if feasible. It is not imperative that core products are medical grade. If you are looking to cut costs on skincare, then it is okay to find over the counter core products that are suitable for your skin type. However, we highly recommend using medical grade accessory products since they are better proven to enhance in office treatment results.

What Are Core Products & Accessory Products?

Core products are the standard products in anyone’s skincare routine. These foundational products include cleanser, moisturizer, and a Sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher. The aforementioned products are essential to maintaining a healthy skin barrier. Accessory products are incorporated into a skincare routine to address specific skin concerns. For example, someone with hyperpigmentation would benefit from accessory products formulated with tyrosinase inhibitors such as kojic acid, hydroquinone, and arbutin. However, products formulated with these ingredients wouldn’t be the most effective for someone with aging skin looking to target fine lines and wrinkles. A better suited accessory product for aging skin would be a retinol or a serum formulated with growth factors.

Serenity Aesthetics & Wellness’s Brightening Pads

Formulated with arbutin, kojic acid, and l-absorbic acid. These brightening pads are often recommended to treat wide areas affected by hyperpigmentation. Use as advised by your practitioner (up to 1-2 times daily) after cleansing and before moisturizing. Always remember to use SPF 30 or higher each morning at the end of your skincare routine.

Serenity Aesthetics & Wellness’s Night Renewal Serum

This serum is not your average retinol, it is formulated with prescription grade retinoic acid (.5% Tretinoin). Unlike, over the counter retinols that weaken as they convert to retinoic acid in the skin, our night renewal serum is pure retinoic acid and doesn’t need to be converted. This allows the retinol to trigger cell turnover more aggressively than an over the counter retinol. Our Night Renewal Serum has been able to help multiple clients correct their hyperpigmentation. Use in compliance with practitioner guidelines at night.

Serenity Aesthetics & Wellness’s Lightweight Sheer Tinted Sunscreen

A skincare routine is not complete without daily use of a Sunscreen formulated with SPF 30 or higher. A bestseller here at Serenity Aesthetics & Wellness is our light weight sheer tinted sunscreen with SPF 50. Formulated with zinc oxide and iron oxides. This skincare staple helps to correct hyperpigmentation while also preventing it from worsening.
