Posted on: 04/Jul/2013 4:35:24 PM
Here are a few treatments for skin pigmentation.
Obagi Nuderm and Obagi-C Rx system: These are home treatments that are quite intensive. Suitable only to those who are not allergic to hydroquinone.
Peels: Peels are solutions that are applied to your face. They gently exfoliate the first layer of the skin. Peels that contain lactic acid, glycolic acid, trichloroacetic acid and phytic acid are suitable to treat pigmentation.
Cosmelan and Dermamelan: This treatment consists of some intensive peel sessions coupled with a home care regimen.
Microdermabrasion: This is the mechanical exfoliation of the outermost layer of the skin. When removed, some of the pigmented cells will come away as well. This process also helps in the absorption of pigmentation medication.
