Skin Pigmentation

A skin pigmentation disorder is a condition that affects the skin’s melanin – a substance produced by skin cells that determines skin colour. When too little or too much melanin is produced by the body, irregular pigmentation can occur, creating light or dark patches of skin in different areas on the body. The patches may be uneven, blotchy or there could also be some freckling. Irregular skin pigmentation is caused by a variety of factors, from auto-immune diseases and genetic disorders to certain medications and sun over exposure.

 Management for skin pigmentation

Identifying the type of skin pigmentation condition is done through visual examination, in some cases, biopsies may be performed to test any potential cancerous growths.

• Most people with this condition must avoid too much sun exposure
• Use sufficient amounts of sun screen regularly
• Use safe skin-lightening products to treat hyper-pigmentation disorders prescribed by your therapist
• Use hypo-allergenic skin products and cosmetics
• Microdermabrasion can help even out hyper-pigmented skin tone
• Laser resurfacing peels off the damage skin leaving behind evenly toned skin
• IPL or intense pulse light treatment can also remove scars, freckles and sun spots

Treatmenting pigmentation – Skin Whitening GL Peel + Vit C

The [W.]+ Brightening treatment combines Pure Vitamin C concentrate with Alpha and Beta Hydroxyl acids for intensive cellular renewal and is designed to target uneven complexions with brown blotches (chloasma) as well as sun-damaged skins lacking energy and vitality.

Phase 1 : Detoxifying

Exfoliating paste in a clay base with natural crystals of corundum eliminates dead skin cells and deeply cleanses the pores of the skin. The paste incorporates an anti-pollution peptide to encourage elimination of environmental pollutants and micro-particles that accumulate and asphyxiate the skin’s tissues.

Phase 2: Resurface 

The Peeling Renovator solution: a bonded 20% Glycolic & Salicylic acid micro-emulsion, is applied as an intensive exfoliant and cellular booster responsible for keratin regulation resulting in a refining of the epidermis. Licorice extract has been added to the formula to bring a soothing, sedative effect to the skin during this active phase to reduce any irritation potential.

Phase 3 : Pure Vitamin C serum + Rebalancing Balm

A complex of pure Vitamin C is dispersed in a sophisticated delivery liquid phase to target dark spots and uneven pigmentation on the skin, while brightening the complexion.+

Then the Rebalancing Balm is massaged into the skin to calm the skin, helping to infuse the Vitamin C serum. This calming emulsion incorporates SOTHYS exclusive patented cosmeceutical H2CR™ active complex encourages healthy cell renewal and allantoin to calm and soothe the skin following the activity of the hydroxyl acids.

Phase 4 : Oxygenate

The final phase is a cooling and Oxygenating Mask containing corn biostimulins rich in nutrients and cell growth factors to encourage cellular oxygenation. A hydra-softening complex containing a natural amino acid is included to soothe and hydrate the tissues with the soft clay mask taking any warmth from the skin… the result is a radiant and energised skin.
