Hyperpigmentation Treatment in Newnan, GA

What Is Hyperpigmentation?

Hyperpigmentation refers to areas of skin that have become darker than the surrounding tissue, often appearing as patches or spots. This condition occurs when an excess of melanin, the pigment that gives skin its color, forms deposits in the skin. Effective hyperpigmentation treatments balance skin tone by addressing these melanin concentrations.

What Causes Hyperpigmentation?

The development of hyperpigmentation can be triggered by several factors, including prolonged exposure to the sun, which stimulates melanin production. Genetic predispositions, certain medications, and hormonal influences such as pregnancy or menopause also play significant roles. Even skin injuries or inflammation from acne can leave behind darker skin patches once healed.

Types of Hyperpigmentation

There are several primary forms of hyperpigmentation, including lentigines, commonly known as sun spots, which are directly linked to sun exposure. Melasma, characterized by large, symmetrical patches of darker skin, typically arises from hormonal changes. Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation occurs when too much melanin is produced during the healing process of an injury such as acne. 

Our Hyperpigmentation Treatments

CoolPeel®

CoolPeel is a type of hyperpigmentation laser treatment that uses laser energy to gently resurface the top layer of skin, minimizing the appearance of dark spots and uneven skin tone. This laser treatment for pigmentation promotes collagen production and cell turnover to reveal fresher, smoother skin beneath the hyperpigmented layers.

Benefits of CoolPeel for Hyperpigmentation

• Enhanced Skin Texture: Besides addressing discoloration, this hyperpigmentation treatment smooths out the texture of the skin through new collagen formation, which can also resolve concerns such as fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging skin. 
• Minimal Downtime: Unlike more intensive therapies, CoolPeel requires minimal recovery time, allowing patients to return to their regular activities shortly after the session.
• Lasting Results: With proper skincare and protection, the improvements in skin tone achieved with CoolPeel can be long-lasting, which makes it an effective option for sustained laser skin rejuvenation.
