How can I address the hyperpigmentation that appeared over the summer?
Hyperpigmentation, such as sunspots or melasma, often becomes more noticeable after summer due to increased sun exposure. Fall is an ideal time to address these concerns. Incorporating ingredients like vitamin C, niacinamide, hydroquinone, and retinoids into your skincare routine can help fade dark spots and even out your skin tone. Additionally, chemical peels or laser treatments, under the guidance of a board-certified plastic surgeon, can be effective in reducing hyperpigmentation.
Pro Tip: Pretreating your skin with retinoids and brightening agents increases the effectiveness of laser treatments and keeps unwanted post inflammatory hyperpigmentation from occurring.
