New York-based, Board Certified Dermatologist and friend to my face once upon a time, Dr. Elena Jones explains, because “Our skin tends to produce more inflammatory cells which produce more persistent and difficult-to-treat hyperpigmentation,” you should consider other types of hyperpigmentation treatments that deliver good results when done under the supervision of a doctor such as…

• Glycolic Peels: Also treats acne. This peel is an Alpha hydroxy acid and derived from sugar cane. It keeps pores unblocked and stimulates cell renewal.
• Microdermabrasion: This is a mechanical exfoliation treatment that sprays microcrystals onto the skin through a stainless steel pressurized wand.
• Retin A: This is a topical Vitamin A which is primarily used to treat sun damaged skin, but also speeds up the growth of new skin cells thereby reducing the appearance of hyperpigmentation.
• Non-ablative Fraxel Laser: a non-invasive laser-resurfacing therapy treatment of acne scars.

Above all, Dr. Jones stresses the importance of having “patience and persistence [when] treating the conditions that first caused the hyperpigmentation.”

NOTE: Seek the advice of a dermatologist before starting any new skin care regimen, but if you don’t have health insurance, try a hospital dermatology clinic where you pay for the visit on a sliding scale, i.e. income-sensitive – thanks for this tidbit Dr. Jones!
