Uneven skin tone, often called hyper-pigmentation, occurs when melanin production is uneven in your skin, leading to darker patches or discoloration. Common causes include sun exposure, aging, hormonal changes, and certain skin conditions.

Several types of uneven skin tone exist, including:

• Age spots: Flat brown spots caused by sun damage.

• Freckles: Small, light brown spots often seen on fair skin.

• Melasma: Brown patches on the face, often triggered by hormonal changes like pregnancy.

• Post-inflammatory hyper-pigmentation: Darkened areas left behind by healed acne or injuries.

We offer a personalized approach with various treatments based on your specific concerns:

• Topical creams: Lighten and fade pigmentation with creams containing ingredients like retinoids or hydroquinone.

• Chemical peels: Exfoliate and remove the top layer of skin, promoting even pigmentation.

• Laser treatments: Target and destroy excess melanin for a more uniform skin tone.

• Microdermabrasion: A gentle exfoliation technique for mild unevenness.

Results depend on the treatment and sun protection habits. Maintenance treatments are often recommended.

The most suitable treatment depends on the severity and type of unevenness. During your consultation, our dermatologist will recommend the most effective option for you.

Significant improvement and a more even skin tone are achievable. However, complete removal of pigmentation may not always be possible, especially for deep hyper-pigmentation.

Most treatments are well-tolerated, but some may cause temporary side effects like redness, irritation, or crusting. We discuss potential risks during consultations.

Open pores are enlarged sebaceous glands, the tiny oil glands in your skin. Genetics, oily skin, hormonal changes, and sun damage can all contribute to making pores appear larger.

Several things can worsen open pores:

• Excess oil production: Oily skin naturally has larger pores.

• Dead skin buildup: Not exfoliating regularly allows dead skin to clog pores, making them appear larger.

• Sun damage: Sun exposure breaks down collagen, leading to looser skin and more visible pores.

• Comedogenic products: Using makeup or skincare that clogs pores can trap dirt and oil, worsening their appearance.

Absolutely! We offer a personalized approach with various treatment options:

• Chemical peels: Exfoliate and remove dead skin cells, promoting tighter pores.

• Laser resurfacing: Targets deeper layers of skin, stimulating collagen production for improved texture and reduced pore size.

• Micro needling: Creates controlled micro-injuries, encouraging collagen growth and pore reduction.

• Targeted approach: Our dermatologists assess your skin and recommend the most effective treatment for you.

• Stronger formulas: Professional treatments often have higher concentrations of active ingredients than over-the-counter options.

• Enhanced results: Professional treatments can achieve deeper exfoliation and collagen stimulation for better pore reduction.

Depending on the treatment, you may experience temporary redness, flaking, or swelling. Our team will provide specific aftercare instructions.
