Treatment for Skin Discoloration & Pigmentation of Your Skin
Skin discoloration is a fairly common problem, and there are a variety of procedures to help combat it.
Our team of experts at Brilliance Dermatology can prescribe products to treat this ailment or offer high tech procedures to improve skin discoloration.
Treatment Options For Skin Discoloration
Bleaching creams, or brighteners, are applied directly to the trouble spots. Creams contain an ingredient called hydroquinone, which reduces the color-causing melanin that skin produces naturally. (Melanin also provides the skin with UV protection, so be sure to see your dermatologist for the best cream option).
Microneedling as a New Option
Microneedling uses a small device with extremely small short needles that pierce the skin to create micro-traumas deeper in the skin. We apply topical numbing cream first to make it very tolerable, and sometimes apply a cream afterwards to enhance penetration of pigment reducing chemicals.
The Exciting Advances of IPL and ResurFX for Discolored Skin
Intense Pulsed Light treatment, also known as a "fotofacial", is a great procedure that treats discoloration as well as other signs of aging. Our specialists prep your skin with a cooling gel and send light pulses through a prism onto the target area. IPL is a gradual process; however it has minimal downtime and the results can last for years. Our M22 device by Lumenis offers a dual treatment of IPL with ResurFX laser, if indicated, to help reduce hyperpigmentation even faster than before.

We utilize a variety of chemical peels at Brilliance Dermatology to help revive skin as well. Peels typically combine intense exfoliation with alpha-hydroxy application to fight all signs of aging. The intensity of a peel can be easily altered; the deeper the peel the more dramatic the results. Peels typically increase your skin's sensitivity, especially to sunlight, for a period of time as well.
