• There are so many causes for hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone.  There is systemic pigmentation which is damage at the cellular level.  This is very difficult to treat on a superficial level and even the most aggressive medical treatments will not be able to eliminate the problem.  Then there is surface pigmentation which is generally more successfully treated.  However, much can be done to brighten and lighten the skin and protect from further damage.  *Be careful not to overuse products that include hydroquinone.  The skin may develop a resistance or immunity to it and begin to darken!

    There are 3 types of pigment changes:
    Hyperpigmentation
    Darkened pigment 
    Hypopigmentation
    No melanin
    Demarcation
    Uneven pigmentation from picking or scratching.
    There are different depths of hyperpigmentation:
    Epidermal
    Surface is light brown
    and not dense 
    Dermal
    Skin is deep brown, ashey grey
    and appears more solid
    Mixture
    Both levels are usually dark brown.

    The unfortunate truth:
    Melanocytes are brain cells.  They do not divide very well and are limited in number and not easy to with.  When it is destroyed, the result is hypopigmentation and when it is over-stimulated the skin darkens.

    Our process to brightening  and evening out the skin tone.
