Thinking of How to Get Rid of Hyperpigmentation? Not sure what treatment option would suit you? If you have been trying to treat your pigmentation scars blindly, then you may be causing more harm than good. Get the most effective treatment available today and see your scars begin to fade tomorrow.
Talking about how to get rid of hyperpigmentation is a very sensitive issue for me because as a woman of colour, I have been in a situation where I desperately sought an answer to that question but today following my personal experiences and research, I can tell you about the various options available to treat acne scars effectively.
Uneven skin tone is one skin problem you wouldn't want to have because it not only ruins your face; it also affects your persona by decreasing your self-confidence and impacts on your social life negatively. Postinflammatory scars appear as red, brown or black scars on the skin and these can occur following injuries, burns, acne, sun damage and inflammation.
There are also cases resulting from hormonal changes, pregnancy, diseases, use of birth control pills and certain medications. Post inflammatory hyperpigmentation is something that can happen to you at any stage of your life and is no respecter of person. In my case the scars appeared as black spots and were as a result of acne during pregnancy.
The reason a lot of people seek information on how to get rid of dark spots and blotches is because it is not a pretty sight to behold and anyone with the scars would want to do everything within their power to get rid of it. This article aims to discuss the best treatment options that have been proven to work very well at clearing these scars.
The first line of treatment towards getting rid of hyperpigmentation should be the use of bleaching or depigmenting agents. Bleaching agents generally contain active ingredients that would lighten and brighten the hyperpigmented scars or spots on your face or skin.
Any of these topical agents like hydroquinone, Kojic acid, Azelaic acid can work effectively well alone or in combination with each other. Oftentimes you find these agents in commercially prepared skin products used for post inflammatory hyperpigmentation treatment. They perform their action of lightening the darker skin patches by causing a decrease in the production of melanin production which is the protein responsible for skin colour in humans.
When choosing topical depigmenting agents, you have to put into consideration your skin type, degree or intensity of scars and skin sensitivity in order to get the most out of it. In most cases, these agents in the correct proportion will work well to fade most scars but sometimes a more advanced post inflammatory hyperpigmentation treatment such as a chemical peel may become necessary.
Chemical peels are another treatment option used to get rid of red or dark spots on the skin. Here the active chemicals containing alpha hydroxy acid(s) are applied to the face or any other part of the skin with the scars or spots to induce the removal of dead skin on the surface and afterwards a clearer and brighter skin is revealed. This treatment may have to be carried out a few times before clearer skin tone will be obtained.
These are usually the best methods of approach used when trying to get rid of hyperpigmentation and although they have been proven to work effectively well in fading scars, you must give them time and be very patient when using them in order to achieve great and lasting results.
