When certain areas of your skin become darker than the others, this is called hyperpigmentation. While this condition is not considered harmful, many people seek treatment for their hyperpigmentation in order to resolve concerns about their appearance.
At Impressions Skin Solutions, we offer hyperpigmentation treatments that are non-invasive and effective. At our clinic in Hendersonville, TN, we want to improve skin health and beauty by offering many different services and by building strong connections with each of our patients to determine their individual needs and concerns. With state-of-the-art treatments such as RF microneedling and laser skin rejuvenation, we can make your skin tone smooth and even.
What Causes Hyperpigmentation?
Hyperpigmentation is caused by the overproduction of melanin in certain areas of the skin. Individuals with both light and dark skin can develop hyperpigmentation as a result of sun exposure, hormonal changes, medications, and genetics.
Skin can also become hyperpigmented after injurious conditions such as acne, eczema, or psoriasis. This type of condition is called post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, and it can often come alongside scarring. Skin lightening treatments seek to break down excess melanin in the skin to cause these areas to match the skin tone around them.
Treatments For Hyperpigmentation:
Secret™ RF Microneedling
Secret RF microneedling treatments can provide skin lightening along with a wide range of other benefits. During this hyperpigmentation treatment, tiny needles penetrate into the skin creating small microchannels that stimulate the production of new tissue along with additional collagen and elastin.
Radiofrequency energy technology is implemented by the device at the same time to improve hemostasis and coagulation. This RF energy helps to tighten the skin and reduce lines and wrinkles while microneedling helps to break down melanin and make the skin tone more even.
What to Expect From Secret RF
During your skin discoloration treatment with Secret RF, we will cleanse your skin, put a numbing cream on if needed, and begin treatment. The device is placed on the skin where it will stamp the needles downwards to create controlled perforations. You may feel a mild scratching on the surface of your skin and some warmth from the radiofrequency energy.
