How to treat post-summer pigmentation
Following the summer months, an increase in sun exposure can leave patients grappling with unwanted post-summer pigmentation. This is a condition triggered by the overproduction of melanin, as it attempts to defend the skin from UV radiation. It presents itself differently from patient to patient, but most commonly as dark spots or patches, primarily affecting areas such as the face, neck, and hands.
To defend against unwanted pigmentation, and maintain optimum skin health, medical professionals and dermatologists emphasise the importance of prevention. This entails diligent and regular application of high-factor SPF sunscreen, and minimising sun exposure. However, for patients with persistent pigmentation problems, it is important to explore viable treatment options, that go beyond at-home protocols.
Hydrafacial offers an effective solution to address client pigmentation issues directly. The non-invasive three-step treatment can be delivered either as a standalone protocol or integrated with other in-clinic offerings. Featuring patented hydradermabrasion techniques and vortex-fusion technology to cleanse, extract, and hydrate skin, it delivers resurfacing glycolic and salicylic acids to support skin cell turnover. To further combat pigmentation, Hydrafacial can be personalised with its “Booster” step, designed to level-up results for any specific skin concerns.
Dr Ana Mansouri of Dr Ana The Skin Clinic, recommends the Britenol Booster by Hydrafacial to treat stubborn cases of pigmentation: “It’s concoction of skin brightening bearberry extract, antioxidising vitamin C, and alpha-arbutin helps to even out skin tone, and really transforms patient results”.
Hydrafacial can now be deployed top-to-toe with new Hydrabody protocols, meaning dark spots, sunspots, and pigmentation can be treated just as effectively across the whole body. “As an add-on to Hydrafacial, I offer to treat tell-tale signs of summer on the neck and décolleté, arms, and hands too” advises Dr Ana. “It helps my clients to feel fully confident.”
