What can be done about Hyperpigmentation?

Hyperpigmentation occurs when an excess of melanin (the pigment that gives your skin color) forms darker patches on your skin. This skin condition appears as age spots, melasma (brown or tan patches in the face), or darkened acne scars. While some forms of hyperpigmentation will fade over time, this may take many months or even years, if at all. At Total Glow, we offer targeted treatments such as IPL (Intense Pulsed Light), microneedling, and chemical peels correct hyperpigmentation. We use Environ’s latest range of effective skincare products, which supply the proper care, vitamins and active ingredients your skin needs to prevent and help ward off hyperpigmentation.
