&srotate=0)
Uneven skin tone and discoloration — collectively and commonly known as hyperpigmentation — are among the most frequent aesthetic concerns for both men and women. Whether caused by sun damage, acne scars, eczema, or melasma, hyperpigmentation can affect your confidence and overall appearance. At Limitless Me Wellness in Jacksonville, FL, double board-certified physician Dr. Kia Mitchell offers laser hyperpigmentation treatments using the Harmony XL PRO laser to restore clearer, more even skin. Read on to learn more about how this advanced skin rejuvenation treatment works and how it can help refresh your complexion.
What causes hyperpigmentation on my face?
Hyperpigmentation occurs when excess melanin, your skin's natural pigment, forms uneven patches of discoloration. These darkened areas can vary in size, shape, and location on the face or body. Some of the most common causes of hyperpigmentation include:
- Sun exposure
- Acne scarring
- Hormonal changes
- Eczema and psoriasis
While hyperpigmentation is not necessarily harmful in a physical sense, it can be bothersome aesthetically and can significantly impact a person's confidence and self-esteem. Fortunately, advanced treatments are available to diminish discoloration and restore your skin's natural beauty.
How does laser treatment work for hyperpigmentation?
Dr. Mitchell uses the Harmony XL PRO laser to safely and effectively treat hyperpigmentation. This cutting-edge laser technology works by delivering gentle light energy into the skin's deeper layers. The laser energy targets excess melanin, breaking it down into smaller particles that are naturally removed by the body over time.
What are the benefits of laser treatment for hyperpigmentation?
Laser hyperpigmentation treatment offers a number of exciting benefits for patients looking to improve their skin tone and texture, including:
- Reduction of dark spots and red patches
- Improved skin clarity and evenness
- Treatment for a variety of pigmentation concerns, including sun damage and acne scars
- Noninvasive procedure with minimal downtime
- Long-lasting results with proper skincare maintenance
With personalized care from Dr. Mitchell, treatments are customized to your unique skin type, tone, and aesthetic goals, ensuring the best possible outcome.
How long does it take dark spots to fade after laser treatment?
Following laser hyperpigmentation treatment, you may notice mild redness or sensitivity, similar to a sunburn. These effects are temporary and typically subside within a few days. Over the next 1 – 2 weeks, the targeted dark spots will gradually fade as your body clears the broken-down melanin. Dr. Mitchell may recommend avoiding sun exposure and applying a broad-spectrum SPF to protect your skin and enhance your results. A series of treatments may be needed to achieve optimal outcomes, depending on the severity of hyperpigmentation.
Am I a candidate for hyperpigmentation laser skin treatment?
Laser hyperpigmentation treatment is generally considered safe and suitable for men and women looking to address skin discoloration caused by sun damage, aging, acne, or skin conditions. The Harmony XL PRO laser is safe for most skin tones and types, but Dr. Mitchell will perform a thorough skin evaluation to ensure you are a good candidate or will recommend an alternative treatment that is safe and appropriate for your unique needs.
