What is Face and Neck Pigmentation?

Our skin color is determined by the melanin pigment. Its formation is influenced by various factors including genetics, sun exposure, pollution, dirt, diet, and lifestyle choices. When there’s an overproduction of melanin, it results in hyperpigmentation, causing dark patches and creating an uneven complexion.

Do patches of discoloration on your face and neck leave you feeling self-conscious? Pigmentation is a common concern that comes in various forms like sun spots, freckles and more. Leaving pigmentation untreated can lead to a variety of serious consequences, such as the condition worsening over time, making future treatment difficult. It ages the skin, reducing brightness and resulting in an uneven tone. Emotionally, it might cause social disengagement and worry. We are here to offer you effective solutions to achieve a more even and radiant complexion. With the guidance of our skilled dermatologists, we’re dedicated to helping you attain a harmoniously even skin tone.

As we all know, pigmentation can occur on the face and neck, but there are other parts that are most susceptible to sun exposure.

Hands and Arms: These areas are regularly exposed to the sun, resulting in dark patches and uneven skin tone.

Back: Long-term sun exposure can cause pigmentation on the upper back, particularly in women.

Legs: While less prevalent, pigmentation of the legs can occur as a result of sun exposure and hormonal changes.

Cuts, bruises, or even pimples, as well as improper hair removal.

Advanced Pigmentation Treatments Available at Evenly

We specialize in offering advanced solutions to treat all forms and severities of pigmentation, ensuring long-lasting satisfaction. Our certified dermatologists perform the advanced treatments to achieve a visible reduction in pigmentation and make existing pigmentation less noticeable. They may recommend the following procedures, either as standalone treatments or in combination, to deliver the best results at Evenly:

Topical Medications

Creams, gels or serums formulated with Retinol, Kojic Acid, Glycolic Acid, Cysteamine, Vitamin C and Arbutin can help lighten your dark spots and even out skin tone. Must seek guidance from expert dermatologist before using them to prevent any allergy. These medications can be used as standolone or in conjuction with Chemical peel or laser therapy.

Chemical peels

Chemical Peels involve a controlled skin resurfacing procedure that includes the application of a plant-based chemical solution to the affected area. This solution removes dead skin and improves texture by revealing smooth, undamaged skin, while promoting the production of collagen and elastin. Chemical peels help eliminate melanin build-up, reduce pigment formation, and reveal visibly brighter skin.

At Evenly Clinic, our approach to treating pigmentation with chemical peels is grounded in delivering comprehensive solutions tailored to each individual’s unique skin type and pigmentation severity. Whether you have sensitive skin or severe pigmentation concerns, our experienced dermatologists will customize the peel to deliver optimal results while ensuring safety and comfort.

Laser Toning

Laser Toning involves the use of a specialized laser device that emits gentle pulses of light energy onto the targeted area. This process helps eliminate excess melanin, gradually lightening and evening out the skin tone. Our expert dermatologists are highly trained to perform this procedure, ensuring optimal results and safety for our patients.

Glutathione IV

Glutathione acts as a potent antioxidant with additional anti-melanogenic properties. Glutathione therapy involves the administration of glutathione through intravenous infusion to reduce skin pigmentation. Our experts are highly trained to administer glutathione safely, ensuring minimal risk for our patients.

At Evenly, our team of expert dermatologists understands the impact that pigmentation can have on your complexion. That’s why we offer personalized treatments to help you achieve beautifully even-toned skin. Contact us today to schedule a consultation and start your journey towards a radiant complexion.
